Isn’t that how all good stories start? Horse owner Brian Leary was trying to find a way to help his horses enjoy the benefits that a slow feeder had to offer, but his horses were destroying every net he tried. Finally, in desperation, Brian contacted a factory specializing in Marine Grade netting. The result was amazing! When their friends and neighbors heard about these incredible results, they wanted nets for their own horses. They would call Brian and say, “Hey, can you get me one of those Orange Slow Feeders too?" Before you know, it, years were going by with people using the same nets and giving rave reviews to other horse owners. Soon, the orders became significant enough that Brian had to dedicate hours every week to the creation and shipping of their now famous “Orange Slow Feeders” and a company was born!

Our nets reduce hay waste; provide a more natural and healthy way to feed livestock and as a side effect they save You Money!!

In the future we will be offering 1-3/8”, 1-1/2” as well as 2” squares Marine Grade Netting— Does That Really Make a Difference? It sure does!

OK.. So What Do Horse Owners SAY About Their “Orange" Slow Feeders? Diane L -- Love the Orange Slow Feeder! We have used other products which did not hold up in our damp climate. These feeders work great and are virtually indestructible! We have 2 pumpkin feeders in each stall do our horses can munch all day long. Thank you for this great product! Renee G -- I would love to share my opinion on these feeders. They are Awesome! I bough two of the large ones over a year ago. Eliminated waste completely. We were able to cut back on time by filling them once a day and the horses were happier because they didn't eat all of their hay at once, or stomp it into the mud. I can't say enough about them. They are very durable, and our horses wintered much better with these vs the previous feeders where they could pull it out onto the ground. Terri R -- These are the best! I have two horses that need to slow down their feed intake, but continually rip bigger holes in the other slow feed hay nets I purchased. It also works for horses that like to throw the hay around and soil it. I highly recommend these products. Ron Copple of Copple Show Horse's. -- I thought I would take a moment and say how much I love these hay net's. When we were presented with one the Pumpkins to tryout, I put it to the ultimate test. I filled it with hay and hung it the stall with the worst hay net eater I have. "Sarj", as he's called at the barn. He's eaten through every hay net I put in front of him. I've even double them up. Hay bags, nets, doubling them nothing stopped this horse from eating a large hole in them in a matter of an hour, until now. He still has the same net in front of him for the last 18 months. I strongly suggest these hay nets or anything they make. Don’t Get Eaten Up With Slow Feeder Costs, Order The Orange Slow Feeder And Save! You’ll love the way they last and last and last.

What is the Orange Slow Feeder?

The Orange Slow Feeder is a line of heavy-duty slow-feed hay nets built to outlast the most determined horse, mule, or head of cattle. Instead of letting animals gorge a loose bale in hours, the net forces them to nibble through small mesh openings, so a single bale lasts far longer and the herd grazes the way nature intended. The maker's headline claim is blunt and measurable: these nets help owners "Reduce Waste by 98%" while keeping horses busy doing what they do best — eating. The catalog spans everything from stall and trailer nets to full round-bale and square-bale covers.

Who makes the Orange Slow Feeder?

The Orange Slow Feeder is a woman- and veteran-owned small business in the Pacific Northwest, started in 2014 by horse owner Brian Leary. The origin story is pure horse-people: "The Original Orange Slow Feeders were built for our use with our horses. They were so durable that our friends and neighbors were asking where we got the nets from." What began as a fix for their own pasture turned into a product line, and the company still answers the phone directly — Brian Leary can be reached at (253) 363-7801. Their motto sums up the pitch: "Highest Quality - Longest Lasting - Heavy Duty - Slow Feed Nets."

What are the nets made from?

The durability is no accident. The netting and ropes are manufactured in Washington State, and the rings are manufactured for the company in Rhode Island — proudly "Made With Pride in the USA." The standard 4mm netting is finely braided, UV-inhibited twine with a breaking strength of 1200 lbs, the same marine-grade material engineered for deep saltwater use. Because the twine does not absorb water, the nets resist freezing in winter and won't harbor the bacteria that plague water-logged fabric feeders.

How does the slow feeder work?

You slide a hay bale into the net, cinch it closed, and the small mesh does the rest, metering forage so animals eat slowly and steadily through the day. The standard mesh is a 1-3/4" opening sized for horses and most livestock, with a wider 2-1/2" mesh available for cattle and custom sizes made on request. The round-bale nets feature a wide opening for easy application onto the bale; in the maker's own experience, a 4' x 5' net "can allow 3 horses to feed for up to 5 days or longer on a 4' x 5' bale."

Who is the Orange Slow Feeder for?

There is a net for nearly every feeding situation. Stall and trailer nets start at $42.50, with the Horse Trailer Net - Small at $45.00 and the Horse Trailer Net - Large at $60.00 for on-the-road feeding. Round Bale Nets run from $215.00 for the 4' x 4' up through $245.00 (4' x 5'), $285.00 (5' x 5'), $315.00 (5' x 6'), and $345.00 for the 6' x 6'. Owners who want to build their own can buy 1-3/4" bulk material starting at $44.00, and accessories like the SuperFly Locking Carabiner round things out at $17.00.

How do you buy an Orange Slow Feeder?

Orders go through the company's online store at orangeslowfeeder.com, where every net, bulk-material option, and accessory can be sized and purchased directly. Shoppers who want a recommendation or a custom mesh size can call Brian Leary at (253) 363-7801, and the brand maintains an active presence on Facebook and YouTube for setup tips and customer feedback. With nets manufactured to marine-grade spec, the promise is simple — no more replacing "chewed up" slow feeders season after season.
