Easy & Economical Way to Experiment with Mesh Sizes

Want to experiment with mesh sizes? Our Version II slow feed bags make it easy and more economical! The Standard Pillow® II Net Panel is one of two components necessary to complete a Hay Pillow®. The Version II slow feed bags are sold separately. Net panels are offered in a variety of mesh sizes; 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/4” and 1 3/4".  If you prefer to purchase a bag with the netting sewn in, purchase the Standard Hay Pillow®. 

2" wide Velcro® holds the panel and bag together - and stays attached for the vast majority (99%). If the panel has been detached - have a local tailor, horse blanket or saddle repair shop sew a seam around the panel while you wait.

Once you have determined your preferred mesh size, we recommend purchasing the Standard Hay Pillow with the netting sewn in for future purchases.

When used long term, the bag/Velcro will eventually become too distorted for new netting panels to fit properly. The level of distortion is relative to the acceleration of wear and tear.

New Customers: 1 ¾” is the most popular mesh size. Just ¼” can make a significant difference between a content or frustrated equine. Smaller mesh sizes do not necessarily equate to your equine eating slower - they may not be able to eat at all. 

Please note: Due to the dangers involved in using any mesh material that can potentially get caught in a horseshoe, this product should not be used by shod livestock. We do not recommend use with horned animals or horses with blankets or halters that can potentially become snared in netting. If your horse is shod, consider the Hanging Hay Pillow (to hang) or Day or Bale Nets, which can be hung or clipped in a tub/trough secured to a post or wall tall enough to prevent a hoof being placed inside it  (for shod and barefoot horses).

The netting panel is constructed from the most rugged materials; custom nylon (DuPont®) knotted netting and Velcro® brand velcro loop. Both made with American materials manufactured in the USA.
