Horse Toys

Horses tend to like toys that keep them active—both in their stable and out in the field. The best horse stall toys are ones that horses can knock around and make noise with, such as a ball on a rope or a stuffed animal. Rubber balls and other objects your horse will chase or bite might also make great outdoor toys for when your horse has more room to roam and play.

Providing mental stimulation for your horse is an important part of bonding and training. A few ways to mentally stimulate a horse include:  

• Give them a friend By nature, horses are social herd animals that are not meant to spend much time alone. Another horse as a companion can be ideal, but your horse may also enjoy time around other non-equine animals when you can’t be around to play. Just make sure it’s a safe environment for both your horse and the other animal.
• Feed them smaller amounts Feed small amounts of horse food at frequent intervals. In the wild, horses are foragers who spend a lot of their time searching for food or grazing. A feeder that distributes food slowly can allow your horse to spend more time eating—which may also aid digestion while helping keep them busy.
• Offer a variety of toys From our equine stall toys and horse stable supplies to outdoor horse boredom toys, there are plenty of options to help keep your horse occupied and engaged throughout the day.
• Provide varied training and exercise You and your trainer should mix up your training routine every now and then by introducing new tricks, drills, courses and challenges. In most cases, the more training and exercise your horse gets, the happier they will be.
