Product Description:

This Mini HorseplayRound stall toy is mounted on the wall for stationary fun for your horse. Internal balls make noise while your horse spins the barrel, and self serve treats can be enjoyed as they fall to the ground out of a small side opening. (You provide the treats.) The 6” x 8” barrel and two black brackets are made from extremely durable hard plastic. All part edges are rounded and reinforced for safety and durabilty. Great for mounting on the wall of a stall or the side of a barn. Mounting instructions, lag screws and washers are included.

Findings:

My horses have tested this product for the past 3 years and it is holding up great. All that is needed are treats, but not any kind. With this toy, you need the right size treat to make it interesting enough for the horse to stay motivated but not too small either. Over the years, I have tried "healthy" treats such as sliced carrots, dried apples, compressed hay cubes of various sizes and I have found that size does matter. It keeps your horse entertained as well as the owners! A big disadvantage is however that you cannot take it apart for cleaning so plan ahead what you cram in there! But durable it is. Just a few bite marks but no cracks, holes or other damages. It is a little spendy, but it will last you a long time.
