_Your Horse’s “Net Worth”

_It’s been proven that the Cinch Net® Original Large Bale pays for itself in less than one month when used by five horses 1:

177 (Price of Net) ÷ 5 (Number of Horses) = 35

$35.00 is your horse’s monthly “Net Worth” in dollars, in other words, $35 of savings per month/per horse.

How long will it take for your net to pay for itself?
1 Horse 177 ÷ 35 = 5 Months
2 Horses 177 ÷ 70 = 2.5 Months
3 Horses 177 ÷ 105 = 1.7 Months
5 Horses 177 ÷ 175 = 1 Month
10 Horses 177 ÷ 350 = .5 Month

What does this mean in hay waste savings?
For this formula, assume your net will last a minimum of 3 years.

Monthly “Net Worth x Number of Months = $avings*
1 Horse 35 x 36 = $1260
2 Horses 70 x 36 = $2520
3 Horses 105 x 36 = $3780
5 Horses 175 x 36 = $6300
10 Horses 350 x 36 = $12600
