Haynet clarification Re: [RC] stall rest - Laurie Durgin

The "up high" was in relative to using a haynet. If you don't tie it ala "pony club" way, it can droop and they could possibly get tangled in it. (also use a cotton one, not nylon as it burns more).The haynet idea is because they have to work at getting the hayout, so it takes them longer to eat it.Also less waste than if you put it on the ground, where it will keep them busy and is more natural ect. less dust, but they will also waste alot more of it too.
Course you could give him lots of vcardboard boxes to play with too or make a busy box of latches. . . . . :)

Put lots of hay in a haynet(uphigh).May even get a lesser quality of hay so
he doen't get too fat.

My 16 year old thoroughbred gelding has just been put on stall rest for 4
months to repair a soft tissue injury in his foot.  The first 4-6 weeks he
can have lots of hand walking then the remainder of the time very limited
turn out (ie short duration & small area).  He has a "stall ball" to play
with and there will be another horse in the barn all the time to keep him
company.  Any other thoughts on ways to keep him happy??
