I found myself singing the praises of small mesh hay nets tonight:

(To the tune of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot")

Hang low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day
Hang low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day

I looked in the dry lot and what did I see
Offering horses hay all day
A small-mesh hay net hanging at their knees
Offering horses hay all day

Hang Low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day
Hang low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day

Nets hung low like grasses on the ground
Offering horses hay all day
Like grazing, nibble and move around
Offering horses hay all day

Hang Low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day
Hang low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day

Sometimes it's wet and sometimes it's dry
Offering horses hay all day
The cheapest slow feeder you can buy
Offering horses hay all day

Hang Low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day
Hang low, small-mesh hay net
Offering horses hay all day
