Best Horse Toy Balls of 2026

"I bought this for my gelding who gets bored easily during stall rest, and it's been a fantastic way to keep him occupied. The quality is solid, and it's simple to set up. I especially like that the treat block smells just like apples and keeps him busy for hours."

"When I first received mine, it was missing a bottom piece, but customer service quickly resolved the issue and sent a replacement. I appreciate how they handled it, and my horses enjoy both the toy and the treat part."

"I wish I'd known the snack fill needed to be bought separately, as my horse had to wait for the treat to arrive. Otherwise, it's a well-made toy that stands up to lots of play and keeps my horse entertained."

"I was searching for something to keep my horses busy between feedings, and this treat ball is just what I needed. It's so durable—it still looks brand new after lots of use, and the size is perfect for hanging in their stalls without being in the way. Definitely worth the investment for us!"

"My Arabian gets bored easily, especially on stall rest with no grass allowed, so I needed a way to keep him stimulated. This toy lets me stuff hay inside, and he always goes for it before his hay net. It's easy to refill and has held up well. Exactly what I was hoping for!"

"I bought this for my horse who gets bored quickly, and it's a total hit! The bright blue color is easy to spot, and the ball stands up to daily rough play. It's sturdy, simple to fill, and keeps my horse from snacking too fast. If your horse needs a boredom buster, this is it!"

"I've bought three of these balls for my German Shepherd, and it's absolutely her favorite outdoor toy. The first ball popped quickly since I didn't use a cover, but with a loose cover, it lasted a year. The third time, the correctly fitting cover didn't last as long, so I'll probably get a bigger one for extra slack. The ball itself is of great quality, though the new pump isn’t as good as before. If you get one for your dog, just know it might get punctured!"

"I was searching for a sturdy ball for my 8-month-old colt, and was drawn in by the 'heavy duty' claims. Unfortunately, my horse punctured the first ball in just three days. The company did send a replacement and suggested a cover, which helped it last longer but it started leaking air after three weeks. The cover prevents popping, but the ball still goes flat over time. Customer service was helpful, but I feel the product didn't match its advertised durability."

"This ball has been a huge hit with my large puppy—she loves pushing it around the yard and even walking on top of it! The first one lasted over three years with daily play, and we just replaced it with a new one. It’s a fantastic product for energetic dogs and brings a lot of joy to playtime!"

"I’m really impressed with how long this toy lasted for my boxer dogs—about six months, which is incredible considering most toys only survive a few hours with them. Anything that endures for months is a win in my book."

"My horse absolutely enjoys this ball, and it’s become his favorite way to stay busy—he loves teasing the mare next door with it. Even after months of rough play, the ball remains fully inflated and the handles are holding up great. It’s a fantastic enrichment toy for when I’m not around."

"I actually got this for my donkeys, but my dogs loved it so much I had to buy a second one! It’s been extremely rugged and has survived two months of hard play, which is longer than most toys last. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone with playful dogs, donkeys, or even horses."

"My dogs absolutely love playing with this ball outdoors and it keeps them entertained for hours. It was easy to set up, and so far it's held up well. I also appreciate that the cover is removable and washable."

"I bought this for my colt and he thinks it's a blast to push around with his nose. He did manage to go through two in a week, but while they lasted, he had so much fun."

"Unfortunately, the cover started ripping at the seams the very first time I tried to inflate it. The stitching seems poorly done. I wish the cover was made from something sturdier, like woven nylon, so it could withstand more playtime."

"I was worried the cover would be too big, but after inflating the ball all the way to the correct size, it actually fit very snugly and securely. Customer service was helpful and responsive when I called for advice. My colt is totally obsessed with this ball and cover!"

"My yearling colt absolutely loves this ball and cover. The cover lasted for a year before it tore at the Velcro seam, mostly because that's where my colt grabs it while running around. I just bought a replacement, and the ball itself has stayed fully inflated since last year. Proper inflation makes all the difference—using an air compressor helps get it just right."

"The closure is strong and tight, and the cover fits my Jolly Mega Ball perfectly. But my Belgian Malinois always goes for the closure area and can bite through it pretty quickly. If there were a reinforced strap or loop, I think it would last much longer for us."

"I bought this herding ball for my endlessly energetic Australian Shepherd, and it’s been a game-changer. The sturdy dual-layer construction holds up to constant nudging and chasing, and it's big enough to prevent him from chewing or hiding it under the couch. He’s calmer after playtime, and the included training guide really helped me introduce it in a structured way. Now, instead of herding the kids, he’s focused on the ball and comes inside much more relaxed."

"My Collie took to this ball instantly. Setup was a breeze with the provided foot pump, and the thick, durable cover with a hidden zipper makes it perfect for rough play. The bright orange color is easy to spot in the grass. After three weeks of daily use, it’s holding up great—excellent value for active dogs. Even my friend’s adventurous cat tries to pounce on it when we leave it out!"

"I got this for my Australian shepherd/border collie mix, who’s always looking for something new. While the ball itself seemed promising, the included air pump didn’t quite do the job, and I ended up inflating it myself. Unfortunately, my dog popped it in under a minute. If your pup is a strong chewer, it might not last, but otherwise, it’s a fun way to keep them entertained."

"I've got a tough chewer at home, and this ball is still going strong after four years—all thanks to the 40-inch cover I bought alongside it. My pittie absolutely loves it, and even though he tries to tug and pull, he grabs the cover instead of biting into the ball. No need to add air in all this time. If you have a strong chewer, getting a cover that's not too tight really helps!"

"We have a whole herd, from minis to drafts, and these mega balls are a hit in our turnout. The heavy-duty rubber takes a beating—even with equine 'soccer' matches and wild play, it's holding up really well and is soft enough to be safe for everyone involved. The extra plug is a nice touch. I definitely recommend getting a cover for extra protection!"

"My Shire youngster is totally obsessed with this ball. He plays rough—squashing, tossing, and even running with it overhead—but it's easily his favorite toy. Even after he popped the first one, I got a replacement right away. If your horse likes to play, this ball is a must!"

"I bought the ball for my dog, thinking it would be a blast for him and my kids since it was supposed to be a giant 40-inch ball. Unfortunately, it turned out to be much smaller and the material was so thin it popped almost immediately. I only picked this one because of its size, but it really didn't live up to the description."

"My Zebus absolutely love these balls! They can't pop them like they have all the others, so they've lasted much longer. I'm really happy with how durable they've been for my herd."

"We use this ball for both our horses and cows, and it's been fantastic. It's very durable and we only need to replace it about every year and a half. We really enjoy having it for our animals."

"My goats absolutely love these! They stay busy for hours, and I appreciate that the size is just right for them. It's great to see them so entertained!"

"These are a hit with all of my horses. They enjoy playing and eating from them, and it's become a staple in their routine."

"I found these a bit difficult to refill and wished they were larger. They're also a little tricky to stuff, but with some adjustments, they've worked out okay for my donkeys."
