Overview
Why We Love This
The only Slow Feed Hay Bag your barn will ever need! This innovative hay bag is our most durable slow feeding option and has special features to make loading hay fast and easy, and to ensure the bag stays closed as your horse eats. The flexible gator mouth holds its shape so loading hay has never been simpler! Added hook and loop at the closure means even the craftiest horses will find it impossible to open, ensuring their hay lasts as long as possible. This bag comfortably fits 10-15lbs of hay, so your horse will be happily munching all day long! A great choice for slowing down easy keepers, keeping stall-bound horses entertained, and for providing more continuous forage throughout the day to horses prone to gastric upset.
Imported.
The hay net should be hung at a sufficient height to avoid the risk of entanglement. To withstand the pulling and chewing associated with a hay net in use, the nylon mesh is extremely durable and will not give under pressure. As a result, it’s important to ensure the hay net is safely secured and won’t become loose as the hay is consumed.

Feed all our hay in these bags
Metal in top eventually works out of the fabric - don’t really think it’s necessary - would be better without it.

Worth the price
I bought cheaper hay bags that had bigger holes and they ripped within a few weeks. So I decided to spend the money for nice ones. With the memorial day sale I got them for $40 for the big ones, very easily put 4 flakes in and the 2 inch doesn't slow my boys down too much. I use it in the trailer and in the stall to prevent waste for my ottb. They are built very sturdy and seem durable.

Love the design but do not find it durable.
I bought this bag some time ago and my previous horse managed to dislodge one of the bendable rods. I attempted repair but to no avail. She retired to pasture and the net to my garage. Enter my new horse who has managed to tear and dislodge the remaining bendable rod scratching his face near his eye. I took it out and I am still using it but an enthusiastic horse has been able to tear many of the fabric pieces. I have weaved it with hay twine but I am on the lookout for a different product. If you have a passive horse this product will be fine. My hungry hippos destroyed it.

Nice Quality - Smaller Size is SMALL
This is a nicely-made hay net and I'm happy to find it in 1 1/2 inch hole size. Just know that the 'two flake' size is unlikely to fit two flakes of any reasonable hay variety. One will fit, probably. Am sending back the smaller-sized one and exchanging for the 'four flake' version.

Barn favorite!
The SmartPak Slow Feed Hay Bag is a must for my horses in their dry lot and in my trailer! This hay net is easy to fill and my horses find it impossible to make holes in the material (like they often do with normal nylon nets). I hang several of these nets on the top board of the fence in their dry lot and it reduces the hay waste considerably! My only complaint with this net is that it is not super large.

I have used both bags inside & out, they do minimize hay waste & mess. They don't hold 2 flakes as stated. I have to pull the flakes apart & stuff them into the bags & even then can't fit 2 full flakes. I would recommend the size for only 1 flake at a time.

Too small
The quality of the feed bag Is great. However the opening to get the flakes of hay and is way way way too small. It is a struggle and a half to get one one flake in. If the bag was several inches wider, it would be fantastic.

Durable hay bag
I bought one of these 2 yrs ago for my horse and loved it. It has held up really well. Recently bought a farm and bought slow feed hay bags for every stall from another company with comparable pricing and design, within days they were pulled apart, holes, binding ripped, hanger ripped off. Recently decided to purchase another Smartpak bag and am happy again. I will likely outfit all my stalls with this bag due to the durability and ease of use. The only negative I can come up with is the narrow bottom, its hard to fill the "corners". I stuff in loose hay off of large square bales or round bales and can get them quite full.

Save on Hay
This hay bag is one that stays in place! Doesn’t easily come off the wall like others do. Horses pull the hay out a bit at a time! No opportunity to bathroom on it! Very very little hay gets wasted on the stall floor! As we all know, hay prices are skyrocketing daily so this is like putting money in your pocket!

Much more heavy duty than other hay bags and easy to fill. Really slows my guy’s eating down AND he hasn’t chewed a hole in it.

Good Quality
Great Quality hay net. Using the hay nets has substantially decreased the amount of hay waste in my stalls and made them easier to clean.
My only complaint is that they are hard to fill because the bottom is NOT flat.
I ordered the 4 flake, 2" holes.

Well designed for daily use
I have a really fat mare. She loves hay. She LOVES hay. I was literally running out of ideas to get weight off of her without making her miserable. Nibble nets were a joke to her and I ended up with a pile of expensive nets with huge holes in them. This net is sturdy, easy to fill and hang and sometimes she even has hay left over in the morning. It's a miracle! Absolutely worth the money.

Design flaws
I've been using this less than a week and I have not been happy with it so far. It is not true that the large holds for laps of hay.. It barely holds 2 1/2 and it is a struggle to get it filled. Whoever came up with the idea of using Velcro to hold a bag together that is stuffed with something loose like hay needs to rethink the whole concept and obviously have never had horses. The velcro is useless already. Also, the gator mouth is flimsy. It is so bent out of shape already and does not lay correctly anymore. The bottom of the bag is flat so you can only fit 1 lap down there. It needs to be squared so that it is wider at the bottom. The whole design of this is so disappointing. Please get someone who knows about horses to redesign this to actually work for horse people.

Hard to fill
Bought the two flake bag. I find unless you break apart your flakes into small pieces to stuff inside, it’s pretty hard to fill and fit 2 flakes in it. Also, the Velcro doesn’t work for long once it gets a little hay on it or horse hair. It would be a better design if it were more square. Otherwise I love it.

Excellent concept
Overall a great net, that being said - I would 100% love to see hanging rings on the top ends of the bag, and not just the middle, as well as a clip or loop on the bottom to attach so they can't flip the bag up. The velcro is good, but could be larger. The bag is flat, I feel it would hold hay better with a more square structure/sides. A nice size and well made, but could for sure be improved.

Great bag
Have had two for four years and bought another for a new horse because of the durability. Only issue is the Velcro to close the top stops working very quickly. Maybe design another way to help keep the bag closed .

Durable and Easy to Fill
Say goodbye to painful hay nets. The SmartPak Slow Feed Hay Bag is in the house! The gator mouth is easy to open and filling this hay bag is a breeze. Even though the 2 flake hay net cannot fit a huge amount of hay, it is ample for trailer travel or providing a snack/entertainment for your horse. So happy to have found something that is durable and easy to use.

Slows feeding
Durability is better than previous hay nets. Heavy item. The top opening with inlaid flexible rods is a good idea but easily and continuously bent by horses. Consideration for a single unbendable rod across the top and rings at each end of the top with strap would minimize turning.

THE BEST hay bag I had ever used!
I have a small barn of 11. Initially I was hesitant to order another failure of the hay bag/net etc. I had seen them few weeks prior at another barn and the barn manager was raving about them. They have had them for over a year and had no problems. So I ordered 6 to try. Now I am up to 8 and the rest are in shipping. 1. They are VERY easy to fill 2. They are very durable. I have younger horses that like to chew on something, need to be occupied. I had noticed that my stalls are not as messy as they have been and possible due to horses being busy grazing slowly. I had ordered a Tough 1 canvas bags prior which lasted literally just one night. I returned them to the co I got them from (Not Smartpak) Two are on stall rest and those bags have been a saving grace for those guys. 3.Grazing also helps their stomachs, 4. I got 4 flakes and it last through the long winter night. 5. Now I dont have hay mixed up with shavings and it seriously cut down on stall cleaning time as well as hay waste. 6. Unlike the myth I had heard before about hay nets that horse has to constantly yank their heads creating problems with their muscles and spines,- these bags are easy to pull hay out of in small amounts . All around is a HUGE WIN-WIN in my opinion! Thank you, Smartpak for top a quality product! PS I bought 4 flakes 2 in opening but for pony and younger babies/foals I am ordering 1.5 in 2 flakes.

Excellent Feeding Solution!
I've been a big fan of the smaller size of these hay bags for several years. Now that I have a 1300 pound QH gelding, I needed a larger bag to feed him. Using a bag slows down food intake, which I believe is better for my horse's digestion. It also helps you better manage your hay. These bags are tough and very well priced.

Great hay bag, but does not fit two flakes
Pros: well made, very easy to use.
Cons: 2 flake model fits 1.5 flakes at absolute best.
This one will be handy for the trailer, but I will need to buy a larger one for its intended use.

I bought this hay net for the durability and easy filling. Definitely recommend the 4 flake size. The 2 flake size really only fits one good size flake and is much harder to fill.
