My 3yo Arab stallion has completely shredded his 'happy horseball' that my step-daughter bought him for Christmas - and urgently needs a new one!

It must have a handle cos his favourite game is to grab it in his teeth and then stand bolt upright on his hind legs and box at it with his front feet, like a boxer with a punch-bag...

Yes I know it's daft - no-one at the stud has ever seen a horse do this before - but he loves it and it keeps him amused, bless him. And it makes a change from trying to climb onto the roof of the field shelter (don't ask)!

Does anyone know where I can order one of these horseballs online?
 
Hiya if the ball is the kind that has a handle and you have to inflate then there is a seller ( or a few) that sell them on ebay which is where I got mine from

If you cannot get one easily, I bought Chancer a space hopper on e-bay for £10 and he loves it. He picks it up by the horns and shakes it and kicks and noses it around the school.

I also have great fun bouncing along on it with him chasing behind me.

Mine also climbs - the dog agility A frame and the shaving pile - think he is more goat than gypsy cob.

Lol Theresa I never thought of that. I may get one of them for my lads. Are they best being supervised with it though or are they are ok to use in the field?

I let Stinky get on with it - but he is a sensible type that if it did burst he would not really do much.

His latest trick is to throw it at Cairo who does not appreciate it as it does not produce food so he walks off lifting his tail and guffing in disgust.

I got the idea from someone else on the forum who has one in the field for her youngster - SHs are fairly tough.
 
Brill thanks for that Theresa I will certainly be getting one for my lads when I come back from hols

Lol at your horse's reactions though I could imagine Dougal being the same as he very food driven, have even noticed that he has started dropping his dangly just lately when we take him a bucket of treats ( which he didn't used to do lol)

Thanks everyone - will try these sources! Found one on ebay but it was too small (7").

Not sure what the field-shelter-roof game is all about - he just stands bolt upright and stretches his nose up to try and see what is on the roof (there's nothing up there, we checked).

He can't reach the roof with his front feet (it's very high) but he sort of looks as though he's trying to. Sometimes he even walks around the outside of the shelter on his hind legs, investigating the roof!

He sometimes stands up in his stable and checks out the ceiling as well.

I think he's just insatiably curious! It can't be a food-thing cos he's the least food-motivated horse I've ever met - grass is for galloping on, as far as he's concerned, and he'd rather have affection than treats (rejects apples in favour of kisses).

Funny little horse - I do love him.
