Home made stable toys

[diamonddogs]

Help! Kel goes to her new house tomorrow, and it's just been sprung on me that she'll need to be kept in for 48 hours after worming (yes, a real d'oh moment - I've had so much on my plate this week it never occurred to me), so she's going from 24/7 outside to being shut in her new stable on a yard where she doesn't know anyone. She'll go loopy!

Can anyone suggest any toys I can make/beg/steal to keep her amused for a day or so? Bearing in mind I don't know a soul on the new yard, so I can't be borrowing anything. I can't go out and spend a load of cash I haven't got on any proper toys because the only tack shop in the area closed at 4pm, and they're only going to be needed for two days.

Inspiration's deserted me - the only things I can think of are an empty lemonade bottle on some twine hanging up and a swede on a rope (which will last her about half an hour).

Veggie kebab! Sweede, apples, carrots etc on a string. Really P's them off if you can hang it in the middle of the stable (no wall to wedge against) Or just chuck a sweede in every now and then. Only thing with our 3/4 shire he can bite a big sweede in half in one bite...

Apples in her water bucket for bobbing and hide carrots around her stable in her bed for her to find. Cut bunches of cow parsley, cleavers and nettles (leave them for 24 hours) and put them in her stable for her to munch on.
