Found in this month's Practical Horseman magazine - Have a Ball! Reduce your horse's boredom or vices in a stall or run-in with the Equine Distraction Aid. Slide carrots, apple slices or other favorite treats under the rope "sling" that encases the 10" diameter plastic and rubber ball to keep him entertained for hours. Bungee cords allow you to hang at eye or mouth level.
I've got to find one of these because there's an angry and bored horse wanting desperately to get out of his stall and race around the paddock. It hasn't even been a full week of stall rest yet and still another 2 to go!
Looks like that should work!! Wonder how that could be adapted to Shelties ... :)
ReplyDeletehahaha! Rachel said he would demolish the treats in about 10 minutes and then totally ignore the ball...so I guess we'll keep looking for the perfect distraction!
