FREEDOM FEEDER
Small mesh hay net feeding system.


This is a great option for those who need a larger net but already have enough craft projects. ;-) They are available at FreedomFeeder.com, Smartpak.com; and Dover Saddlery.com and many other retail outlets.








FREEDOM FEEDER SMALL MESH HAY NETS are available in 3 sizes and cost from $27-$80. They are made from 3mm 1.5" nylon mesh. There is a Trailer/Mini Net, an Extended Day net, and a Full 100# Bale net. Please visit our website FreedomFeeder.com and become our friend on the Freedom Feeder Facebook .

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.

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. The manufacturer is available to help your horse transition onto restricted free feeding you can email them at Info@FreedomFeeder.com
