Favourite Stable Toy/Treat?

[HollyWoozle]

My own horses live out 24/7 but a friend's horse (who I have ridden and love) is currently on box rest due to an injury and will be there for a while. I was thinking about posting him a stable toy/treat since they live abroad and don't have as many options as I do here but what are the favourites these days? I thought maybe just a simple likit, one of the hanging ones, with some different flavours but any thoughts on what your horses do and don't like would be great!

My geldings been on box rest 5 weeks now. Simple things like chunks of carrot hidden in his haynet he loves and keeps him amused.

I bought one of these in February when my gelding was on box rest again (very accident prone)

You can buy molasses free licks for them. I hang his up and it lasts him a good 6 weeks - mind hes usually gone through a likit in a hour! I bought him another lick for it yesterday.

Swede on a string hung from the wall or ideally from the ceiling away from the walls, always good fun!

Mine like Twinings Nettle and Peppermint tea, slices of melon and slices of apples for Apple Bobbing. Years ago, I bought a hand held massager with infra red from Adli for £7. They enjoy a massage and extra TLC when on box rest.

I cut branches of willow or ash to keep them busy. Also just made a play station by screwing old brushes to a pallet, a dustbin lid that spins (I put a few carrots, etc in the rim) and a squeaky rubber chicken.

Lots of fab ideas, thank you. Can you get hoof-proof iPad screen protectors?

I bought one of these a few years ago then didn’t use it for a bit - now can’t unscrew the top! Any tips?

I had the same problem! Gave it to the boyfriend who made it look easy. Think it was just super stiff, I'll ask him later!
