I'm late to the party as always.  Great links here:

around whole site for more ideas)

I've been using two small-mesh hay nets for my gelding, and it's  
working great.  I hang them from trees so that they swing freely... it  
has more than doubled the length of time it takes him to eat his ration.

My nets are quick and easy to fill... the opening is nice and wide.  I  
made them using a 10' x 10' piece of heavy-duty soccer goal netting  
that I cut into four pieces.  Each one is cinched up using the rope  
that's already attached to each corner of the big square net.  I use  
fake lanyard clips (old keychains) to clip the end of the rope into  
the tree branch so the bag will be just the right height every time.
