Product Information
Full details
The Jolly Pets Jolly Apple is an ideal enrichment toy for horses and other large animals prone to stall boredom, offering a durable, scented outlet that encourages interactive play. While it serves as an excellent distraction from destructive behaviors like chewing or cribbing, it is important to note that the apple scent is an attractant and the toy is intended for supervised enrichment rather than as a primary food source.

FAQs
Is the Jolly Apple safe for horses to chew?
The toy is made of durable, non-toxic materials designed for horses; however, it should be inspected regularly for damage to ensure no plastic shards are ingested.
Can I use this for animals other than horses?
While designed primarily for horses, it is often used for other large animals that require enrichment and behavioral distraction.
Does the apple scent wear off?
The scent is infused into the material and will last a long time, but it may naturally diminish after several months of heavy use or exposure to the elements.
What is the best way to hang the toy?
Use a thick, sturdy rope or a rubber-coated chain attached to a secure ceiling anchor or stable beam.
Is this toy meant for aggressive chewers?
It is highly durable, but no plastic toy is indestructible. Monitor your animal during the first few days of use to gauge their interaction level.
Troubleshooting
Animal shows no interest in the toy
Ensure the apple is hung at the animal's eye level and try lightly cleaning it with water to refresh the scent.
Toy keeps falling down
Check that the hanging rope or chain is secure and that the knot is reinforced to prevent slipping under the weight of an active animal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Jolly Apple, use a heavy-duty rope or chain passed through the hanging loop to suspend the toy from a sturdy beam or mounting hook. Ensure it is placed at a height where the horse can reach it easily but cannot get a hoof tangled in the tether. For compatibility, this toy works well in most standard box stalls and run-in sheds. Maintenance is straightforward: simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild, horse-safe soap to remove dirt or debris. Check the toy periodically for sharp edges that may develop after prolonged use and replace the unit if structural integrity is compromised.
