This shows the original Freedom Feeder being hung in a boarding facility so the feeding staff can simply slide the feed in as they go through the facility but the horse still has access for normal slow feeding.

Here is the Full 100# Bale Net ($80). You can tie it into a water tub, stand it in a stall or throw it on the ground like a hay pillow.






And this photo shows the carabiners supplied to close the envelope-type top. We recommend replacing these with slide-bolt type clips ("dogleash" clips), as some of us have had negative experiences with carabiners.




Please note: As with all hay nets, the Freedom Feeder should be hung at a sufficient height to avoid the risk of entanglement. To withstand the pulling and chewing associated with a hay net in use, the nylon mesh is extremely durable and will not give under pressure. As a result, it’s important to ensure the hay net is safely secured and won’t become loose as the hay is consumed.

It is also a close-up of the mesh. It is made from shrimp fishing net and the joins are woven instead of knotted. This netting will also hold up to soaking for IR horses.
