Slow-Feed Net · 4-Flake Capacity
Load It in Seconds. Let Your Horse Graze for Hours.
Drop the frame to 90 degrees, load about four flakes through the open top, and lock it flush to the wall. The 1.5-inch knotless net slows every mouthful, so your horse works through hay at a grazing pace instead of finishing a flake and standing empty. Made by horse lovers, for horse lovers, since 1948.
The Problem
Every Morning, the Same Mess
It’s 6:00 a.m., the barn aisle is quiet, and you are already holding a fork over a stall full of yesterday’s hay. Some is mixed into clean shavings. Some is damp near the water bucket. The rest has been pawed into a mat your horse will not finish. Before you can measure the next feeding, you have to sort usable hay from bedding and carry another heavy forkful to the muck cart.
Every horse owner recognizes some version of this routine. Loose hay can migrate across the stall as your horse noses through it, while a conventional hanging net may turn each refill into a two-handed wrestling match. You gather the net, force flakes through a narrow opening, find a secure place to hang it, and hope it stays manageable until evening chores. Feeding should be straightforward, yet the equipment can make a simple job feel unnecessarily awkward.
The cost is more than a messy floor. Hay mixed with manure, urine, or bedding is no longer feed you want to put back in front of your horse. You replace it sooner, use more bedding during cleanup, and spend extra minutes separating the stall instead of checking legs, filling water buckets, or getting ready to ride. In a multi-horse barn, that repeated work follows you from stall to stall and feeding to feeding.
What you need is not another loose net that creates the same loading problem. You need a feeder that keeps hay contained, gives your horse measured access, and opens wide enough for you to refill without turning every morning into a test of patience.

Why It Keeps Happening
Loading a Loose Net Is the Hardest Part of Your Morning
The problem isn’t you, and it isn’t your horse. Your horse is doing what comes naturally: sorting, tugging, and working for preferred mouthfuls. The frustration starts when the feeding setup gives that movement nowhere to go except onto the stall floor—or makes you fight the equipment before your horse ever takes a bite.
Many basic hay nets are designed as bags first and loading tools second. Their small top openings collapse while you are trying to insert flakes, so one hand holds the net open while the other pushes hay into the corners. Once filled, the net still has to be lifted, tied, and positioned. Open racks may be faster to fill, but without a closely fitted net, pulled hay can scatter beyond the feeder. A fixed frame can also remain in the stall whether it is full or empty.
Keep repeating that routine and the little inefficiencies begin running your barn schedule. You refill sooner because part of the ration is mixed into bedding. You remove more material during stall cleaning because scattered stems are tangled through the shavings. Evening chores start with retrieving, opening, and restuffing nets instead of simply loading the next feeding. Multiply those steps across several stalls, and a minor annoyance becomes a job you have to plan around twice a day.
The usual choices force an unsatisfying tradeoff: easy access for you, better containment around your horse’s hay, or a feeder that stays out of the way when it is not needed. A practical stall setup should not make you choose only one. Until the frame, net, loading opening, and wall position work together, you are still managing the feeder instead of letting the feeder simplify your routine.

The Solution
Built for How You Actually Feed
The Schneiders® Easy-Up® Pro Fold-Up Hay Feeder Frame with 1.5" Knotless Net puts the frame and the slow-feed net together in one wall-mounted setup. Instead of squeezing flakes through the gathered mouth of a loose net, you lower the frame to 90 degrees and load hay through the open top. Once the feeding is in, the locking bracket holds the frame flush against the wall.
The numbers are built around everyday stall feeding. The 1-inch pro-grade frame measures 36 inches long by 20 inches high and holds approximately four flakes — useful capacity without a full-bale installation. The net is matched to the frame, and its 1.5-inch knotless openings promote slow, healthy feeding, so your horse takes smaller mouthfuls and stays busy longer.
For you, the payoff shows up at every refill: drop the frame, lay in up to about four flakes, raise it, lock it. No holding a limp net open with one hand while stuffing it with the other, and no hunting for a new hanging point before evening chores. The feeder has a permanent home on the wall, which makes morning and night the same short job every time. Made by horse lovers, for horse lovers.
