The most natural way for a horse to eat is with its head down. That is why we also recommend hanging our slow feeders as low as possible, so that the horse can also eat with its head down. This is also possible with our Hay Play slow feeders because, unlike a hay net, they are safe to use. With a hay net, a horse can get entangled with its hoof/leg. Due to the use of our material, this is not possible and therefore no danger.
