Purely Ponies Slow Feed Nets are Canadian-made nets that we have been producing for over 15 years! It was our own clever ponies that led us to developing our nets after feeling frustrated we couldn’t find any net they wouldn’t destroy or eat through. With their help, we’ve designed our nets with quality, heavy duty netting that comes in three hole sizes and three net sizes to meet your horses and ponies individual needs.
All of our nets can be easily filled and closed using a simple cord and toggle system. The netting comes in three colours to easily distinguish between our 1/2”, 1”, and 1 1/2” netting sizes. We also use colour-cded cords between our Mini net, Day net, and Full Bale net sizes so you’ll easily be able to grab the net you need.
Why Purely Ponies?
Slow feeding helps to mimic a horses natural grazing behaviour, allowing for a steady supply of forage to be consumed slower than when fed loose.
In doing so, slow feeding with our nets can:
reduce hay waste
reduce risk of choke, colic, and ulcers as increased chewing time encourages saliva production to aid in their digestion
help to manage metabolic and laminitic horses through regulating insulin levels with consistent forage
help to manage “easy-keepers” through reducing calorie intake without restricting access to forage while still lengthening their grazing period
reduce boredom and stress, and their associated vices such as chewing, cribbing, pacing, etc.
help make soaking hay simpler
Why Slow Feeding?
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“I wanted to let you know how well the nets are working out for our horses. I really appreciate the inclusion of a Free Mini Net. They readily took to the nets, with the result that there is a lot less wasted hay on their part, plus much less frequent refilling of hay nets on our part - so it’s a win/win! The nets are also the easiest we’ve ever used, which is an added bonus!”

"I absolutely love my Purely Ponies mini hay net! I leave my girls up in the day time due to laminitis and the excess of sugar in the grass where I board them. I would have to give a bale of hay each to keep them fed all day! Or they would go hungry 3/4 of the way through the day. My one pony has a very slow metabolism and very at risk for founder, so I was trying to find anything to slow down her eating, yet prolong it in smaller amounts. Now that I have the mini net, she never has no hay in her stall and is happily munching away when I return. This was the only net I could find that could withstand my pony's aggressive feeding (she likes to bit and tear) her hay, and have small enough holes. Kept the stall cleaner with no wasted hay, and gave me comfort all day! Thank you!”

"Thank you so much for creating these amazing products! My 5 year old paint started cribbing when he was about a year old. I looked for and tried every remedy I heard about, including every supplement known to man, putting him in a pasture with other horses, making sure he had plenty of toys to occupy his mind, using electric fencing (he just cribbed on the feeders and trees), etc., and nothing worked. Nothing until I started free feeding with Purely Ponies' hay nets. Four years of nearly constant cribbing has completely stopped. Completely! And he's back to being the playful guy he was when he was a colt - obviously because he feels so much better. I can't tell you how much it relieves my mind and warms my heart to see the changes in him. I'm so grateful that there's finally a way to feed him in domesticity that replicates as closely as possible how horses were meant to eat! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
