What Vets have to say:
"When horses lick and chew, they produce saliva which is crucial for gut health because it acts as a buffer to neutralize the constant production of gastric acid in their stomach. This prevents the lining of the stomach from eroding and forming ulcers- a factor which is so important for their gut health and particularly critical while being yarded or stabled"
Let’s break it down and highlight some of our key ingredients….
Flaxseed offers several benefits for horses, primarily due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids support skin and coat health, improve joint function and contribute to overall cardiovascular and immune health. Flaxseed is also a good source of fiber and protein, aiding in digestion and muscle development.
Biotin is required in the horse’s diet for the production of keratin which is the main protein that forms a strong, durable hoof structure. Biotin is most commonly known for supporting hoof growth and quality. It also supports many other elements of the horse’s physiology, including fat and sugar metabolism (with the assistance of Chromium!), hair and coat quality, and healthy skin.
Glucosamine and MSM provides the nutrition and foundations for healthy joint cartilage and synovial fluids. This super combo protects joints by helping to reduce inflammation and assist healthy connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons and ligaments.
Balanced Electrolytes composed of Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Chloride, Glucose and Sulphate. Having Electrolytes in the right balance (called electrolyte balance) is very important in maintaining fluid balance among the compartments in Equines.
B group Vitamins are an essential element for relaxing muscles and nervous tensions. Paired with Magnesium and Calcium, helps your horse to relax and feel calm again.

Dennis was introduced to the StayBall at the very beginning when initially launched in NZ. These have been an absolute game changer for him. Dennis windsucks (habit not stressed) and he is a busy man in his bedroom. With all the goodness, the StayBall is a fabulous healthy distraction for him and he loves them. He quietly moves between his hay and his StayBall day and night. He has literally worked his way through approximately one a week (I dare not count my purchases!!) so I am in a position to highly recommend them!
Where do I even begin. One of the best creations ever!
The stay balls are a staple and total game changer for my busy horse in her stable! It keeps her entertained without filling her with junk and processed ingredients. She likes to team work it with her stable mate!
One of my horses was on box rest for 16 weeks while recovering from an injury, and the StayBall was an absolute lifesaver for both of us. It kept him mentally engaged and entertained, which made a huge difference to his attitude during such a long period of confinement. He was noticeably less bored and grumpy, and it helped make the whole experience much more manageable.
I also use the StayBall during clipping. With a team of young horses, some can be a little nervous or lose patience quickly, but when they have their StayBall, they’re happy to stand quietly until we’re finished. It’s become an invaluable tool for me and is something I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to keep their horses occupied and relaxed.
Couldn't possibly recommend these enough. Horses absolutely love them. A huge game changer for clipping, anxious horses, separation anxiety or just the perfect reward. I will never travel to a show or put my horse in a stable without them!
My young horse had to be stabled for a few days - I was worried about how he would cope with this but the ball kept him sane!
My horses favourite thing ever!!
Both my 3 year old and 16 year old horse loves the stay ball . My younger filly is a wind sucker and it definitely help her curb that behaviour and gave her something else to thing else to do when she was stabled .
Highly recommend the stayball!
We had a pony go through a stressful event when a neighbours cow got out, she then refused to eat for several days.
We tried all of the tips and tricks, and the stayball was the only thing that worked to encourage her to eat, a wonder product!

My horses are all addicted to the stay ball. I don’t stable overnight usually but sometimes they get brought into the stable and have to wait a couple of hours for me to ride. By the time I come back their lips are brown and the stay ball is very wet 😂😂 it’s cool to see their brain working as they try and get more than just a little lick. Love!!!!!
love the product and the service
top service as always😊
These are the best boredom busters and distraction tools. The horses absolutely love them! And what’s even better is that they have so many beneficial things in them, not just full of molasses and sugar.
Ultimate Boredom Buster!
The StayBall has been lifechanging in the stable for my quirky gelding. Keeps him entertained and less likely to jump out of his stable when he's bored...
First time I tried a stay ball was at a show and I have got to say it was a massive success! It kept my horse busy while his friends were out. I also found out that bees love it I had one in my horses paddock and the bees came across it and would spent 1-2hours a day having a try!
Best boredom buster for all our crew. The OTTB loves it while tied up for tacking, farrier, washing - the works - stops all his other 'quirks' . Has also helped with separation anxiety as the utimate comfort food for any of the team left in the yards while we ride the others. The birds love it too - so take them inside if theres not horse to guard it!
The best boredom buster to exist! Well loved by a young ottb who took a year to learn how to eat a carrot. Great for keeping them occupied when stabled or tied up
My horses liked it, but it can’t be kept outdoors, which is hard when you own horses. Heaps of ants got into it.
Horses LOVE these. Have helped my young horse adapt to going in the stables. Before this she didnt love going in, now she wanders in very happily. Even once to ball has been used up she practically sucks on the string that still hangs there. Of note though, I have to take the ball down when no horses are in the stable as the sparrows demolish it as they love it too
Was having problems with horse loading onto the float so put the stay ball in a feed bin at the front. Now loads first time, every time! Totally awesome product.
These stay balls are amazing. Great time wasters when clipping or when in stables. Highly recommend 👌
I couldn’t recommend this product enough especially having anxious mares it’s so good for keeping them calm and distracted. I use it at shows, when washing my horses, when they are stabled, or even just well being tied up. I have 5 mares and every single one absolutely loves when they get to have their stay ball!!! I love how it is a way to keep your horse calm without having to put bad things into their bodies, I used to have to use calming stuff on my horse at shows in her stable, but when she has her stay ball she is super happy in their without any calming products, which is a game changer. I recommend heaps of people stay balls and the always thank me as they are just such a game changer. Such an awesome product!!
Great product! Kept my mini entertained for days in his stable at a show when he would usually walk the box most of the time.
I used a Stay Ball for the first time when away for an event with my very anxious mare. She was able to focus some of that energy on the Stay Ball and I felt it was a very valuable addition to my kit! Would absolutely recommend and repurchase in the future.
Fantastic product all of my horses love these!
