2.5 weeks in, no problems
I've been really happy with this net. My horse has had it for about 2.5 weeks now and it is working just as it is supposed to with no tears so far.I'm using it in a rubber ground feeder to promote head down feeding. I installed 2 eye screws on the bottom of the feeder and I use the included carabiners to clip it into the feeder. I have it clipped into the bottom by the bottom of the net. It's tricky to clip it, but one bale lasts my horse 3 days so I only have to deal with it a couple of times a week. The clips prevent my horse from dragging the net out when it is more depleted.I followed the directions in the box and continued to feed loose hay at regular feeding times until I felt like he really had the hang of the net. It took my horse about a week.It is harder for him to get the hay or when the net is depleted and not overstuffed, but he manages ok. I just watch it a bit closer when it is less than half full to make sure it's never fully depleted.Lots of people have asked about this net and I have given it a good recommendation.

Ready to purchase another!
We bought the Freedom Feeder bag last December and it's lasted all winter and spring with no problems. This kept 2 horses occupied for 24 hours on most days, but we peeled hay off of a round bale to put in there. Probably 50-60 lbs each day. Ours hung from a cedar tree so it stayed dry during the rain and it allowed the hay to fall to the bottom so they had no trouble getting to all of it. After a few days the horses wouldn't eat the free choice hay, they went to the bag. It also calmed them down at feeding time. No more running each other away from grain. Love Love Love these bags! Reduced wasted hay, saved money and I only had to feed hay once a day.

Two weeks in, horse ripped large holes into it.
Horse ripped holes in it two weeks in. I expected better quality from something so expensive.

It's working out
After a few weeks I have my horses completely eating off the Freedom Feeder. I put it in a water trough and drilled some holes in it. Then I tied the bale down. )The horses were removing the bale.) Then I took some bungees and anchored the troughs to the fence. So far so good.

Did not work for me
Unfortunately - idea is great but does not do well in use. I had it for a month and it already had holes in it.Difficult to use and set up for one person feeding. I thought it worked well at first.If it wasn't over $100 I would not be surprised but for a product that is supposed to savea few bucks- it did not for me.
