Waldhausen Champagne Bottle Stable Toy for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Champagne Bottle Stable Toy - Play and Enrichment for Stabled Horses
The Waldhausen Stable Toy is a hanging horse toy shaped like a champagne bottle that makes a crackling plastic sound when the belly is pressed. It is designed for horses and ponies that spend time stabled, on box rest or in a field shelter, giving them something to nudge, grasp and swing around.
The toy measures approximately 44cm in length plus its hanging rope, and the plastic bottle can be removed or replaced using a Velcro fastener. Best for owners looking for a simple, eye-catching boredom buster for the stable, or a novelty gift for a horsey friend. You will find more yard and stable extras in our stable and yard collection.
