Ok this is a really easy solution for filling your bag style small mesh hay nets quickly without a big mess and without bending over too far. What you do is make a very very simple rack to hang the net on in your hay storage area shed. So what you can very easily do for pennies is to put a couple of cup hooks ( used for hanging cups inside a cabinet they just screw straight into wood walls, any smallish hooks like that will do the job) at about 2 and a half feet height from the ground or whatever you find comfortable for your height so you dont have to bend down too much, put this near the inside of the door of your hay shed or wherever you keep your hay. Undo the fastener or rope of your hay bag, hang it close to the top of the bag netting on one cup hook (or any hook that remains open like a cup hook and can go out of the way against a wall of your shed where you wont fall against it and snag yourself,) stretch it over to the other cup hook about 2 ft away, hold the front edge of the top of your haybag with one hand and stuff your flakes of hay into the nice open bag with the other hand. Take off one side of the one hook then take it off of the other hook and presto you have a full bag of hay without a struggle, without getting it all over the floor or all over your polar fleece jacket! Obviously dont put these hooks anywhere that inquisitive horses can get to them...nowhere in your paddocks..... just tucked out of the way in the hay shed or else they may catch an eye or a lip on them
