  1. Maybe she might like a Lik-it. Or if you have a pilates ball lying around your house? I have known horses to play with those. Also, milk jugs are very popular with the horses at our barn. You hang them by a string by the celing of the stall, and some people put treats uin theirs and teh horses love it! God luck!


  2. Get her a lik-it!  I got my horse one and he loves it so much!  

  3. you can get her a "Jimmy's Hanging Ball"

    i have them for my horses and they love them!

    there simply just molasses and some type of feed all clumped together.  

  4. You can try making him a horsesicle (you know, like a popsicle).  I use those disposable plastic containers by Glad...they're about the size and shape of a brick. Fill it with 50/50 apple juice and water if I'm going to give it to him in his feed bucket and I fill some with all apple juice and those I pop out into his water bucket as a huge ice-cube. That way he dunks it as he tries l*****g it and it also melts and flavors his water. If you have rubber matted aisles it's a lot of fun to just drop it on the floor and watch the horse chase it around.

  5. Have you tried one of those toys you hang or attach in the stall that has a treat inside?? (sorta like the horse version of a Kong)

  6. Drill a hole in a turnip, or apples and carrots etc. and hang them on a piece of rope.  

  7. The horse you see in my avatar is coming out of founder. I have had to put him in a small paddock and have the same problem you are having. I got a plastic hanging apple for him to bang around. I also got a large rubber duck and put it in his water trough. I also got a radio which I keep on all the time. It isn't as good as being out with his buddies, but it does help.
