Re: [RC] Need Bored horse help - Keith W. Kibler

Thanks so much for the suggestions Sharon.
Also, btw, my not so subtle  double entendre was completely unintentional.

Uncle Jimmy's Hanging Balls are great too, but you might need to rig something up to be able to hang it under cover...?

For my guy, having a pile of dirt to play King of the Mountain on is always good.

Tug O' War works great with rubber feed pans, traffic cones, and the like.

Plastic detergent bottles tied together with a 2' length of thickish rope works great... horse can put the rope in the mouth and nod his head vigorously while chasing the other horse.

Just a couple ideas...

Quoting "Keith W. Kibler" <kwkibler@xxxxxxxxxxx>:


This is a weird one, well at least for me. We have 11 horses. Two of
the geldings that we use in Endurance have their own stalls  and  an
acre  corral they spend most of their time in. Plenty of hay, water,
grain twice a day. Two mares on one side and on the other side is our
mare herd. The mares have acres to explore but frequently come to a hay
ring to flirt and eat. The geldings love  interacting with  the mares
on both  sides of them.   Here is the rub. They are bored. I would love
to have them entertained more. Balls dont seem to phase them or
interest him.
 Suggestions for what has worked for any of you?
Thanks
Keith
