Product Information
Full details
The Hy Equestrian Stable Toy is designed for horse and pony owners looking to keep their animals mentally stimulated and entertained. This durable toy is an ideal solution for mitigating stable boredom and provides a comforting presence for horses in unfamiliar environments, such as during transport or when stabled away from home. While it is built to withstand regular play, users should be aware that it is a chew-based enrichment tool, so regular inspections for wear and tear are necessary to ensure the horse's continued safety.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for all horses?
It is safe for most horses, but always supervise your horse when introducing new toys and remove the item if signs of severe damage appear.
Can I leave this in the stall 24/7?
Yes, but it is recommended to perform a daily check of the rope and the toy surface for any significant wear.
Will this help with cribbing?
While it can provide distraction and reduce boredom, it is not a cure for established vices like cribbing; consult your veterinarian for specialized advice.
How do I clean the toy?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the surface; rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry before re-hanging.
Is the rope durable?
The included rope is designed to be robust for standard use, but like any equine accessory, it should be checked for fraying regularly.
Troubleshooting
The toy is hanging too low and hitting the floor.
Adjust the mounting rope by creating a tighter loop or using a different anchor point to increase the height.
Horse is ignoring the toy.
Try changing the location within the stable or introduce it during feeding time when the horse is naturally active.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loop the provided robust rope over a secure support beam, tie-ring, or mounting hook inside your stable or trailer. Ensure the knot is tight and the toy hangs freely but not low enough to cause a tripping hazard. For compatibility, this toy is suitable for most breeds of horses and ponies. Care is simple: periodically inspect the toy for loose threads or excessive damage from teeth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth if it becomes soiled, and ensure that the rope remains securely fastened before each use to prevent any accidental ingestion of loose parts.
