The Hay-EZHay Bag Filler makes filling your hay bags a breeze! Hold it open at the top for easy hay loading. Filling your hay bags was never easier!
Says Janessa, owner and inventor: "Hay-EZ™ began with a simple goal: to make everyday barn life easier. I’ve been around horses and animals my whole life, running my own barn and traveling constantly to rodeos and jackpots. And like many others, filling hay nets was always a struggle. I tried everything—holding them open with my knees, using muck buckets, trash cans, laundry baskets, sliding a net over one end flip it over slip on net on the other end then cut the strings, and still ending up with hay everywhere or never being able to pack the net full. It was frustrating, time–consuming, and hard on my back.
So What Is The Hay-EZ™?A few years ago, I was diagnosed with a back condition, and bending over or lifting upward for long periods became painful. Feeding the horses I love shouldn’t have to hurt. That’s when the idea for Hay-EZ™ was born. I wanted a way to make hay net filling quicker, cleaner, and easier on the body—while still allowing nets to be packed tightly and efficiently.I created these stands to solve a real problem I was facing every day. And when friends in the horse community began asking for their own, I realized it wasn’t just my problem—this could help others too.Hay-EZ™ stands are lightweight, durable, easy to transport, and made right here in the USA. They’re built to make your life easier, save you time, reduce waste, and help you take better care of your horses without straining your body."I truly want what’s best for you and your horse(s), and I hope Hay-EZ™ becomes something you can rely on in your barn, trailer, or on the road—just like I do."
Hay-EZ began with a simple goal — to make everyday barn life easier. Owner and inventor Janessa grew up around horses and traveled constantly to rodeos and jackpots, and like many horse owners she struggled with filling hay nets. After being diagnosed with a back condition, bending over and lifting for long periods became painful, and the idea for Hay-EZ was born. When friends in the horse community started asking for their own, she realized the problem wasn't only hers.
A Hay-EZ stand is a sturdy, purpose-designed frame that holds a hay net or hay bag wide open and fully upright, hands-free, while you fill it. Instead of wrestling with a floppy net or stuffing hay one-handed, you set or hang the net on the stand and drop hay in with both hands. The stand grips and secures the net so it stays open and lets you pack it tightly. Once full, you remove the net and hang it for your horse as normal.
Hay nets are designed to hold hay under tension once hung — but the same design makes them nearly impossible to hold open for filling without help. The net collapses on itself the moment you let go, forcing most people into workarounds: holding the opening with one hand while loading hay with the other, stuffing the net between their knees, draping it over a trash can or muck bucket, or propping it against a wall. All of those methods make it hard to pack the net tightly, spill hay on the ground, and strain the back and joints over time.
Hay-EZ is designed for any horse owner who uses slow-feed hay nets or hay bags. That includes backyard horse owners with one or two horses, boarding facility managers feeding large numbers twice daily, competitive riders and trainers who travel to horse shows and need a compact portable solution, and anyone whose barn routine involves repetitive hay bag filling that takes too much time or causes physical strain.
Hay-EZ currently offers three stand options:
Hay-EZ stands are lightweight, durable, easy to transport, and made right here in the USA. The line was designed from the ground up with real barn life in mind by a lifelong horsewoman who experienced the daily hay-net frustration firsthand.
