Product Information
Full details
The Stubbs Horsey Ball is designed for horse owners looking to provide enrichment and physical stimulation for their animals. This robust treat toy excels at keeping horses occupied through its unpredictable movement and slow-release treat mechanism, though it is primarily a ground-based toy that requires a flat or firm surface to perform at its best.

FAQs
Can this ball be used for dogs?
Yes, its durable construction and unpredictable rolling movement make it a suitable toy for larger dog breeds.
Does the ball require a plug or stopper?
No, it features a single-hole design with no removable parts, which makes it safer for use.
How do I clean the inside?
Simply hose it out through the treat hole and allow it to air dry.
Will the material crack in freezing temperatures?
No, it is manufactured from stubbythene, which is specifically designed to handle cold and icy conditions.
What size treat should I use?
Use medium-sized, dry horse treats that will roll out gradually as the ball moves.
Is the ball heavy?
The ball is lightweight enough for horses to nudge easily but heavy enough to remain durable against impacts.
Troubleshooting
Treats are falling out too quickly
Switch to larger treats that fit more snugly through the aperture.
Dirt or mud is clogging the feed hole
Rinse the ball with water and ensure the opening is cleared of debris before refilling.
Horse is ignoring the ball
Start by putting highly aromatic treats inside to draw interest, or roll it for the horse to show them how it works.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Stubbs Horsey Ball is straightforward: simply pour your chosen treats through the single aperture. There are no secondary caps or latches to manage. To maintain the toy, rinse the interior periodically with a garden hose to remove debris or food residue that may have accumulated inside. Since the material is heavy-duty stubbythene, it does not require special storage; it is designed to remain outside in all weather conditions. Ensure that the treats chosen are dry, as moist food can stick to the interior walls and become difficult to extract or sanitize.
