Author Message Sara's Handler Yahoo User Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2008 2:40 pm    Post subject: Are there any good toys for horses? It's winter and my young mare is bored while I'm at work. She gets plenty of exercise, she has a gelding buddy, and we even gave her a couple of goats to chase. But she gets bored and gets into things; nothing bad, just mischievous. I need suggestions for fun, safe things for her to play with, mostly so she's quick kicking her food bucket around.(She's physically fine, not depressed, and not off her feed....really, I know my horse, and she's just a little bored. Oh, good ideas! What kind of ball do you put treats in? Thanks so much!...

And they push it around.. every time they push the ball some feed falls out.. eventually they learn that pushing the ball outs out treats, it makes entertainment for them. And the good thing is that not alot falls out so you don't need to worry about her getting fresh or hot.

There are so many different things you can do and not spend a lot of $$. Just like cats you can spend a fortune on toys and they will play with the twist ty off the bread.
