Anyone else used a excersise/play ball with their horse ?

Yes, I have.Tip Mike Peace gave me when he worked with a horse of mine. Put in menage on a breezy day so it rolls around and ride horse towards it. Encourage the horse to influence its movement with its feet. Taught mine to kick it like a football. Daughter and I used to play hockey with hockey sticks. All good fun and helpful with increasing bravery and confidence.

What type of ball did you use ?
 
I had a space hopper in the field for my three to play with, they were petrified of it...and then it blew away :O!!
 
we had a horse that used to get down on his knees and kick it about !!!!it was the size of a football with a handle on it
 
Mine makes Samba poo her self, she absolutely hates it cannot get her anywhere near it!.
Jake however loves it hes just 3yrs and having a year out to be a baby. He just likes rubbing on it :s and kicking it about. My old cob Winston went through two as he kept landing on it.

I have a ball for the yearling who used to run away from it snorting all the time. Now she kicks it about all over the place but I don't know if that's coz she's angry and wants more food!
