Anyone got one?? Does your horse use it? I'm thinking of getting one for Jack as he gets bored easily and needs things to keep him entertained in the stable but I'm not sure if he'll bother with it....your opinions please...!

My friends horse has one, but stopped using it. It wasn't till she moved stables and we then moved it that we found the reason.......................a sparrow had got trapped behind it and died.

Hiya, yeah we have one for one of our horses and he loves it. The other lad seems to like those treat balls as we borrowed one the other day and he got very excited nudging it around the stable ( guess what is on his pressie list this Christmas lol).
But I have to agree the tongue twisters are very good. You can also use them in two directions as well which is good. Either side to side spin or up and down. The latter seems to make the horses work that bit harder and of course by being able to take off and reposition it can help to make it seem a bit more interesting too.
I would deffo recommend them over the standard boredom breakers to be honest which none of my horses seemed interested in.

Be very, very careful RG. It might have just been a freak accident or it might even have had nothing to do with it but I got my Sunny (see sig) one of those and fixed it firmly to the wall. He didn't pay a huge amount of attention to it tbh. Anyway, me and OH went on a Xmas/New Year cruise and while we were away something happened in Sunny's stable and when I came home he was in horse hospital with the first stages of the keratitis in his eye that eventually cost him that eye. We will never, ever know what caused it BUT I found the Tongue Twister wrecked on the wall of his stable. Now if you know how they fit flush to the wall at head height, it's impossible to know how a horse could have broken one so half of it came away. We don't know if he got his mouth caught in it somehow and smashed his eye against it or got his tongue trapped and panicked or what but the forces involved to tear half of it off the wall must have been phenomenal.

I would never, ever have one in any stable of mine again.
