Thoughtfully Designed for Better Grazing

  • Reduce hay waste & maximize every bale
  • No more rushing home to feed
  • Supports natural grazing & digestion
  • Veterinarian trusted & recommended
  • Handmade in British Columbia, Canada
  • Canadian premium knotless netting

Nag Bags help barns recover up to 94% of every bale, turning wasted forage into lasting value.

  • Horses are designed to graze for 16+ hours a day—not eat two quick feedings and stand idle for the rest of the day.

    When forage is consumed too quickly, it can lead to increased risk of ulcers and digestive issues

    What studies show:

    • Slow feeders can increase feeding time by up to 40–60%
    • Horses spend significantly longer eating compared to ground feeding
    • Extended feeding supports better digestion and reduced stress behaviours

    What that means for your horse:

    • More time eating = less time standing idle
    • A calmer, more content animal
    • Feeding that aligns with their natural instincts

  • Modern horse care is shifting toward enrichment-based management, especially in Canada and North America, where welfare standards continue to evolve.

    Research shows that foraging devices (like hay nets) are one of the most effective forms of enrichment.

    What studies show:

    Foraging enrichment (hay nets, slow feeders) can:

    • Increase natural behaviours like grazing
    • Reduce stereotypic behaviours (cribbing, weaving, pacing)
    • Horses with longer forage access show less frustration and more positive behaviour
    • Lack of forage is directly linked to unwanted behaviours and stress

  • The goal isn’t to make feeding difficult—it’s to slow it down to a natural grazing rhythm.

    Here’s a simple guide:

    1” – Maximum Slow Feeding

  • Not all hay nets are created equal. Nag Bags were built around one idea: Support the animal's needs first. Everything else follows.

    • 20+ years of experience and trust
    • Hand-assembled in British Columbia, Canada
    • Premium knotless netting (strong, gentle, long-lasting)
    • Designed for real barns, real routines, and real results

    What research supports:

    • High-quality slow feeders can reduce hay waste from over 50% down to as low as 6%
    • Many users recover the cost of a feeder within the first year through hay savings

Our Story,
Our Promise

Like many horse owners, we were searching for a better way — a way to reduce waste, support healthier digestion, and create a calmer, more natural feeding routine for the animals we care so deeply about. What we found was that traditional feeding methods weren’t designed with the horse in mind… so we set out to change that.

What began as a simple solution for our own horse (Scottie) has grown into a family-run business built on care, experience, and a deep respect for grazing animals.
