Description
Our small hole haynet enables you to use your vitamunch or calmmunch fibre blocks when travelling your horse in the horse box or trailer. Popping the munch blocks into our munch nets also means you can use the blocks whilst your horse is tied up on the yard for the farrier, vet, physio or just for a groom and they will be kept occupied whilst also getting a great healthy snack.
The Story
Horses are born snackers – it’s how their digestive system works best. Unfortunately they don’t always get the opportunity to snack as much as they would like or need to.
Our munch net is designed with the whole munch range in mind. Big enough to fit any 1kg Vitamunch Marvellous Meadow, Vitamunch Heavenly Hedgerow, Calmmunch, Fleximunch or Hoofmunch. The munch net helps prolong eating time keeping your horse happier for longer.
Available in an array of colours there’s a munch net to suit every horse and pony!
The Science
Horses are trickle feeders which mean they would naturally spend 75% of their time eating. This ensures their digestive system works best but sometimes daily routine or weight issues may mean their diet is restricted.
Being an animal that is used to constant food means that it produces acid regardless of whether there is food or not, however acid-buffering saliva is only produced when the horse chews. The continual production of gastric acid with only limited amounts of saliva is thought to lie behind the development of certain stereotypical behaviours and gastric ulcers. The whole digestive system works at its most efficient when there is a supply of fibre.
Feeding a munch in a munch net ensures the feeding process is slowed down and therefore allowing a trickle of food into the stomach encouraging the natural digestive process.

“I bought a few of these for my horse who is on box rest and he really loved it. Even ignored his carrots and treat ball (yes, he is a bit spoilt) to play with his vitamunch. The net is great too”
Horse Owner, UK –
“Looks like a normal size net which has shrunk in the wash. Perfect for the Vita Munch blocks”
