How to Use
- Open the ball and fill it with small, dry treats or nuts that pass freely through the opening.
- Close the ball securely and place it on the stable floor or on safe, level ground.
- Show your horse the ball and roll it gently so a treat or two drops out, so they learn how it works.
- Supervise the first few sessions until your horse is confident with the movement and noise.
- Allow short play sessions at first, and account for the treats within the daily feed ration.
- Wipe clean after use, dry before refilling, and check regularly for cracks or wear.

FAQ
What treats can I put in the Eaziplay Treat Ball?
Use small, dry treats, pony nuts or cubes that move freely through the opening. Very large or sticky treats may block the dispenser and stop the ball working.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The ball is designed for horses and ponies, and most equines pick up the rolling and nudging action quickly once they have seen a treat drop out.
Can I use it in the field?
Yes, it can be used in the paddock or during turnout. Place it on safe, level ground away from fencing, and avoid using it with groups of horses who are possessive over food.
Will it help a horse on box rest?
It is a useful enrichment tool for horses on box rest or with limited turnout, as it gives them something to think about and helps reduce boredom during long periods indoors.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the ball clean between uses and allow it to dry fully before refilling. Inspect it regularly and replace it if it becomes cracked, split or badly worn.
Should I reduce my horse's feed when using it?
If you are using a noticeable quantity of nuts or treats, take that amount into account within the daily ration to keep the overall diet balanced.
