15.75in Hay Ball for Horse Slow Feed Treat Ball - Extra Large Purple

In this review of the 15.75in Hay Ball for Horse, the bottom line is simple: it is a large, durable slow-feed solution that combines feeding and enrichment for horses kept in stalls, paddocks or trailers. The kit arrives with a purple, 15.75in hay ball and an adjustable hanging strap, and the single biggest reason to buy is its ability to slow a horse's eating while encouraging natural foraging and light play, which can help digestion and reduce boredom in confined situations.

Key Features

• Complete kit: The ball comes with a hanging rope strap and buckle so it is ready to use hung or placed on the ground for flexible feeding options.
• Slow-feed design: Twelve feeding holes control access to hay so the horse eats more slowly, simulating grazing and supporting better digestion.
• Large capacity: At 15.75in diameter the ball holds a substantial amount of hay, reducing refill frequency for owners with larger feeders or multiple horses.
• Interactive treat ball: The rounded shape and holes let horses nudge and roll the ball, adding enrichment that can reduce stall boredom and encourage movement.
• Durable materials: Made from PP plastic with a nylon strap, the construction is odor-free and designed to withstand regular use in a stable environment.
• Easy access: The top uses a removable twist-off lid for simple loading and secure closure so hay stays in the ball while in use.

Who It's For

This hay ball is best for owners who want to slow-feed horses that spend time in stalls, trailers or small paddocks and for animals that benefit from interactive feeding to reduce boredom. It is particularly suited to horses that eat too quickly, those with restricted turnout, or those on monitored diets where slower intake helps digestion.

Owners seeking a feeder for free-range turnout or for very small ponies may want a different size or design; similarly, if a horse consistently destroys plastic toys or applies extreme chewing pressure, a heavier-duty metal option should be considered.

Pros & Cons

• Large 15.75in size holds plenty of hay so it suits longer stalls or busy days.

• Light enough at about 3.75 lb to be moved but sturdy enough for normal use.

Cons
