Actually, I think you can see from the video that
Dancer knows he can terrorize the big horses with the
ball, and he exploits it!!!

Yeah, my opinion to, the boy is wicked smart.  It's one of several  
variations on "let's see if I can stir up some trouble around here".   
As all of the horses will push the ball around, none of them is  
really scared of the ball itself.  They only react when the ball is  
actually chasing them down -- which from their perspective is what is  
happening. And I think it is partly an excuse to let out some pent up  
energy, if you notice toward the end Ruby is just standing there.

Thank Kat.They're a bit more pricy than what I was expecting, but I have 
the link saved none-the-less.  I think I have a gelding and a young mare 
that just might enjoy one of these immensely.

None - I have one. Large and shiny purple. It wasn't me asking the
question!
; )

I got mine off ebay - just type in physio ball, or physiotherapy ball,
or exercise ball, or gym ball. They start at around $10 on the UK ebay
site.

We get them:

http://www.sportogo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=370

if any one finds a better deal, let me know.  The ones with the cloth  
covers hold up a lot longer then the "naked" balls, and they have a  
large selection of patterns/colors.  I believe the one in the video  
is 40".

Let me know how it goes.  I should warn you that Dancer made friends  
with the big green ball when he was only a couple hours old  -- so he  
always saw it as normal part of his environment.  As you can tell,  
although they have had several years of exposure, the other horses  
are not quit so sure that moving ball has no ill intent.

Hey Mic,

ball red and black,  25" soccer ball red and white,  25" smiley Face ball 
bright green , 40" soccer ball red and white, 40" soccer ball red and black,

On special order I can get the 70" or 72"  ball that is used for mounted police

Our horses have 40" red and white soccer ball and the youngsters just love, 
they always try to scare the older horses with th ball.

How many would you like Mic?

Thank you, Kat, it's a great video!

I was thinking that I should show it to Charm, but sometimes girls
don't play as much as boys.

Where did you get the ball?
