The average hole size for this net is approx. 1x1”, which is recommended for use with smaller livestock animals and for horses that eat hay too fast from nets with larger openings. This size net opening will prevent excess hay wastage, while slowing down your horse’s feeding rate to a more natural, grazing-style pace.
