Aha finally a toy that works

[charlottein]

After rejecting all the toys I have tried we finally found something the yearling filly likes… as does my 15 year old gelding.

That's hilarious! Hopefully it will last longer than the straw hat I left hanging on the fence!

Mine are always untying the shoes I am wearing

 

[Thistlebee]

That's too good! The only toy I can get my girls to use is this jolly ball you put hay/carrots inside of.

I wish they were more playful!

Dapper Dan never plays with toys. I may have to try an old shoe for Midnight. So far the only thing I've found she likes is plastic water jugs to stomp, and chain latches on gates.

 

[charlottein]

Yeah the only successful toys previously have been feed pans and muck buckets and empty feed bags!

In this picture, you can see Tejano eating his dinner next to his string-o'-milk jugs toy. I gave him this to keep him from slinging his feed bucket around and dropping his dinner all over. As you'll note, the little bantam hen is waiting for her share.

Too funny!! Maybe I'll try this too. Our mid-teens mare loves to take brushes from the grooming box and takes off with them with her head and tail held high, lol.

That's so hilarious. Is somebody walking barefoot right now?

I had to go out barefoot because the stinker took BOTH pairs of my outside shoes!

Apaché is known to occasionally enjoy playing with a yoga ball... we will very occasionally play soccer. We found a pimply ‘sensory’ yoga ball which he likes to pick up with his teeth.

I find my pony to be very mouthy in general... we just arrived back from 3 nights of camping and as I tried to unload car, he unpacked it for me by pulling everything out before eventually deciding to give the car a go too... I was so happy to see him again, the little nutter!!

We’ve moved him to our new house but until we do some fencing he has the whole yard so gets into everything. I have to tie him up so I can drive up to the house coz I have to drive through his so called paddock . (will probably start blog thread about this whole new house and its development shortly!).

Did you really? That stinker is cute and adorable.

The only wat they get away with mischievous antics is cuz they are so cute and adorable

Once our rubber boots get holes in them, they become fantastic horse toys. Throw some carrots or a bit of grain in the bottom, hours of entertainment! Fantastic for horses on stall rest. Also, empty grain bags. Smell great and also desensitize at the same time!

What a great spot for him! Is he going to get to keep the trees when you get him locked up? I'm short on paddock spacec right now so my donkeys get the run of the yard and driveway in the summer. I no longer have a garden around the house but at least it's weeded and I have to throw out handfuls of anything tasty to get the car in and out of the gate or they go walkabout

That’s hilarious... It’s funny enough with one pony, I can only imagine how entertaining with a herd of donkeys... Our property is just one acre... so not huge. Yes that lovely treed area will be his... We will remove the self seeded trees that aren’t native though! And I want to build a paddock shelter, not necessarily a stable... maybe a run in with a small corral and feed/tack shed adjoining! But have to build some proper hen lodgings first... They’re kinda camping in a dog kennel for now!

8 seconds of your life that you will never get back!
