Muzzles slow the rate of ingestion, even when used in the stall.

Muzzles are used as a preventive measure in the spring when lush pastures abound and cases of acute colic and laminitis occur.

To limit pasture intake, this is particularly salient for overweight horses or those with insulin resistance or laminitis.

If round bales are the only option, consider using round-bale feeders with small mesh sizes to keep the hay off the ground, minimize wastage, and decrease the chances horses will plunge their muzzles into the bale, which is less than ideal for respiratory health.

This is particularly salient for horses low in the pecking order that get excluded.

In groups of horses, offering various piles of hay will also ensure all horses have access to the forage.

Haynets with small mesh sizes stop horses from pulling out a bunch of hay, shaking it around, and generating dust and other airborne particles, which is deleterious for horses with inflammatory airway disease or heaves.

Slow-feeders mimic grazing, keeping horses entertained if confined to stalls or drylots.

Nets facilitate hay-soaking for horses with equine metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, or chronic laminitis.

Haynets can be weighed easily when they’re filled and transported efficiently to stalls.
