Any ideas on this horse toy (big ball thing)

[Denise657]

I was just thinking about games you can play with a pony and stumbled across this website.
http://www.naturalhorsetalk.com/horsetoys.html
The balls look robust and i don't think my pony would break one (from looking at the videos on the site one horse leans on it with both front legs) but i was wondering if anyone had one of these balls and if they would recomend them if they did?
Also does anyone know of a similar product in the UK as i imagone p+p would be horrendous from abroad.
I know you might think i'm silly for wanting to get a toy for a horse, to be honest i feel pretty silly but they look really fun.

Try a cheap Gym ball first there about £4.99 and see if your horse will play with it. i used to get them for my miniature when he was little. He used to play with it all the time till he realised whats his own balls were for and kept trying to sh*g it. Thus they popped!

We have a really cheeky 2yo filly where my share is, who is always a bit bored due to lack of playmates her age. We thought a gym ball might entertain her, but no, she still just chews the fence.

So i would try the cheap option first, as above!
