Drop-In Slow-Feed Hay Net Retention Frame

Stop wrestling tangled hay nets over loose bales in the mud. Our Drop-In Slow-Feed Hay Net Retention Frame transforms your mobile covered hay cart into an effortless, one-person slow-feeding station.

Welded from heavy-duty 1" square steel tubing and finished in durable gloss black implement enamel, this custom-fitted perimeter rack drops straight into the upper feed box of your cart. Smooth, recessed steel D-rings and tension hooks hold the mouth of a full-bale slow-feed hay net wide open—just like a trash bag liner—so you can drop square flakes or a whole bale straight in and cinch it shut in seconds.

Why Horse Owners Love It:

Cuts Hay Waste by Up to 40%: Keeps horses from pulling big mouthfuls out onto the ground and trampling expensive forage into the mud.

 Supports Equine Digestive Health: Encourages natural, steady grazing behavior, helping reduce boredom, ulcers, and colic risk—especially for easy keepers and stalled or dry-lot horses.

Equine-Safe Hardware: All tie-off rings and retention hooks are recessed cleanly inside the upper perimeter frame with zero sharp edges or protruding bolts where a horse could catch a halter or lip.

Lift-Out Convenience: Drops securely onto internal mounting tabs and lifts straight out whenever you want to switch back to loose-hay feeding or hose down the bed.
