Slow feeder nets

[ricochet]

For you guys at the CHC meeting with the nutrition presentation, I now have slow feeder nets .. $15-$25 and $115 for round bale size. 250-751-9383

[Nicole&Reannon]

what do the round bale types look like? Any pics of both varieties??

[ricochet]

I'm delivering a round bale net next week and I'll be sure to take some pics :) I'll take a pic of the regular kind either tonight or tomorrow when I feed.

Here are a few of my mare with hers. She plays with it, and only eats when she is hungry.. finally can keep her with hay all day and NOT have an obese horse lol

and two more

Do the slow feeder nets include the HST...

[Ravenswood]

Does it have a metal ring in the bottom?

[ricochet]

No, there is no metal ring at the bottom =)

I was looking for a way to make them safe to just put out in the paddock without having to tie them up like a traditional hay net. I thought of using a metal ring for the 'cinch' but i wouldn't want her to bonk herself in the face with that lol

My newest approach is to either cut or replace the 'cinch' rope with a piece of baler twine or hemp, just long enough to tie it shut. It needs to be strong enough to keep the net closed, and short enough that in the case where if it DID come untied, the horse can't get the cinch rope tangled around a foot.

[Ravenswood]

My Farrier brought some in for her customers from the USA that has a 2 inch metal ring at the bottom and the top has a double poly rope cinch closure.

They look very much like the ones you are making but yours are MADE IN CANADA
There definately is a need and market for them.

[ricochet]

ha - i wonder.. my dad has been distributing into the states and back east for years.. not sure if he ever used a metal ring tho. It'd be pretty funny if those were his nets come back again

We can easily ship as well. (buyer pays shipping)

[Ravenswood]

I sent my Farrier your contact info and a picture of your nets.

[ricochet]

Thanks Raven =)



Great Balls Of ... Hay?

So I made a 'Hay Ball' for Shea. I can see it would get annoying to have to put a new cinch in each time, but it works great =) I posted a video on youtube.. here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7qavUuDvMs I just checked on her and shes at the other end of the paddock with it now =P






and they are nylon =) so it is safe to soak hay in them.

[Jayna]

do you have a photo of the round bale size? We use round bales, and I'm sure this would help a ton over the winter... LOL

[ricochet]
