Description
Waldhausen Fun Ball — 25cm Scented Play Ball for Horses and Ponies
The Waldhausen Fun Ball is a 25cm play ball for horses and ponies, made with a soft rounded grip so the horse can nudge, push and pick it up easily. It is designed for use indoors or outdoors, which makes it best for stabled horses, box rest, and quiet paddock or barn turnout where boredom can set in.
Air pressure is regulated by a special valve, so there is no need for extra inflation or a pump. It comes in blue with a mint fragrance and green with an apple fragrance, and the scent helps encourage a curious horse to investigate on first introduction.

How to Use
- Choose a familiar, enclosed space such as the horse's own stable or a small paddock.
- Let the horse sniff and investigate the ball in hand first — the mint or apple fragrance often does the work for you.
- Place or gently roll the ball on the ground and step back, allowing the horse to approach in their own time.
- Supervise the first few sessions until you know how your horse reacts to it.
- Remove sharp fittings, buckets and loose fencing from the area before leaving the ball with the horse.
- Wipe clean with mild soapy water, rinse, dry and check the surface for damage before each use.
