Product Information

Full details

The Hy Equestrian Clippity Clop Horseshoe is a durable, horse-safe stable toy designed for equestrians looking to keep their horses or ponies mentally stimulated and relaxed. It is an ideal solution for horses that suffer from stall boredom, particularly when traveling in a lorry or trailer, or when facing stressful, unfamiliar environments. While this toy is built to be robust and entertaining, owners should supervise their animals during initial use to ensure the horse does not attempt to chew or dismantle the rope attachment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this toy safe for heavy chewers?

While the material is tough, it is not indestructible. Always supervise your horse when they first interact with the toy to monitor their behavior.

Can I leave this in the stable 24/7?

Yes, it is designed for stall use, but regular inspection of both the toy and the hanging rope is essential for safety.

What is the best way to clean the Clippity Clop Horseshoe?

Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse it with water and mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before re-hanging.

Will this help with crib-biting?

Many horses use it as a distraction from cribbing, but it is a tool for enrichment rather than a medical treatment for behavioral issues.

Is the rope attachment included?

Yes, the toy comes with a robust, integrated rope ready for immediate hanging.

Can it be used for ponies?

Yes, the size and design make it suitable for both horses and ponies of all sizes.

Troubleshooting

Horse ignores the toy

Try placing it at a different height or applying a small amount of treat paste to the horseshoe to encourage interest.

Rope shows signs of fraying

Check the connection point for sharp edges. If the rope is damaged, replace it immediately to prevent accidental ingestion or entanglement.

Toy swings too much

Shorten the rope length to reduce the range of motion, or secure a secondary tether if the movement is causing the horse distress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and long-lasting material
  • Helps reduce boredom-related stall behaviors
  • Easy to hang in multiple locations
  • Suitable for both horses and ponies
  • Provides mental stimulation during travel

Cons

  • Not suitable for horses that are aggressive chewers of synthetic materials
  • Rope may require periodic inspection for wear and tear
  • Some horses may take time to show initial interest

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the toy, identify a secure fixing point such as a stable ring, metal bar, or trailer hook. Ensure the loop of the rope is securely fastened so the horse cannot knock it down. For safety, always check that there is no slack rope hanging down that could pose a risk of entanglement.

Regarding care, clean the horseshoe periodically with warm soapy water to remove dust, stable debris, or any food residue. Inspect the rope attachment monthly for signs of fraying; if the rope becomes compromised, it is recommended to replace the suspension hardware to maintain the safety of your horse. Store the toy in a dry, temperate area when not in use during long off-season periods.
