NibbleNet on Platform
I LOVE this! I have been using those small hole hay nets in their stalls and ended up double bagging once they got good at it. But my horses are outside most of the time and I have been trying to figure out something that is affordable and easy to make for this winter. There are some great ideas for various slow feeders, but the easiest ones were hung on a fence. We have electric fence, so not an option. I've looked into purchasing a large feeder or a couple of smaller ones, but talk about expensive!
This however, looks very doable so I'm going to order 3 NibbleNets today and start putting together the platform this week! Great idea!!

Nibblenet warning
I love the nibblenet, it's constructed well, slows down feeding, kept my horse occupied, it's still in one piece even after 10 days of use 24/7, but and this is a big but for me, this morning when I wormed my horse I noticed that the gumline of his upper jaw was raw, swollen and very inflamed. there is no doubt in my mind that it is from the net because his gumline, I check his mouth once a month or so, was just fine 3 weeks ago. he's really working on the net to get to the hay, pushing his teeth against the webbing especially if the amount of the hay in the bag is decreasing.
I don't want anyone to not try these nets for their horses because your horses might be fine, it just damaged my horse's gums. I was so happy about how well they worked that I ordered another one, which, hopefully they'll take back. Sigh, back to the drawing board...

Review
I have one of the large Nibble Nets with 1.5 inch holes and love it, too. It's extremely well made and easy to get the hay into.
The only problem I have with it is, I've only been using it for a couple of months and the vinyl on the back is wearing thin in some spots (where it rubs against the pipe corral). I will have to patch it with duct tape to keep it from getting holes.

 lets try this out!
I discovered as she tried it that the bottom of the bag needed to be secured or it would move too much and spook her, or flip around so she couldn't get to the hay. Version 2 will be a modified garment bag with attachments at top and bottom

 closeup of slowfeeder bag
This cost me $10 in materials and a couple of evenings of sewing. It's got a clip at the top so the drawstring can be opened to put the hay in without taking it down. My horse is boarded so I had to make things as easy as possible for them to use
