So I used some hay string to stabilize the latch in the vertical position. Much less dangerous now. :DCalm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-82792992781065985402018-02-09T12:55:55.222-05:002018-02-09T12:55:55.222-05:00There is a guy near me that makes something very s...There is a guy near me that makes something very similar to this custom and will make it as big as you want.

That way she could fill it and as the horse ate more hay would fall down.

I'm okay with the size because it's for overnight and I don't put a lot in. It's also hard to close when a hungry horse is eating from it the same time you are trying to close it.

I just bought a new Smartpak slow feeder net and will give that a shot first as a larger replacement, since it was cheap enough and supposedly is larger than the net the hay hoop came with. We shall see! Good to know the nibble nets didn't work out well! :-)Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-55709910053443425622018-02-09T09:02:12.452-05:002018-02-09T09:02:12.452-05:00I have these in my stalls, and fill them to the &q...I have these in my stalls, and fill them to the "sticking out" point, too hehe :) They're a bit difficult to latch - I've got one that doesn't want to keep the moving part "up" so it's a pain, but I've gotten pretty decent at doing the others now. <br /><br />A thought, to combine the hay chix love and the hoop... maybe buy a square bale net from hay chix and take out the string and put it on your hoop? They're huge - I don't know if you could flip it with a whole bale in it but it definitely would let you stuff it full to your heart's content. I changed my hoops over to Nibble nets from the nets they came with and ended up going back to the original nets because the nibble ones stretched and my girls were still making messes with their hay. I hadn't thought about putting nets like this outside... and I may do that next year! Much easier to fill than trying to stuff my giant, often crooked 60lb bales into the hay chix full bale nets I have (and then having to snap them in because Arya throws them in the dirt/wet).TheFoxRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291735157875155200noreply@blogger.com
