Jolly Sidekick™

Fill bottom bladder with water and this inflatable toy wobbles and won't fall down, no matter how hard it's kicked! As soon as your horse kicks it over, surprise! - it pops back up again and again. It'll have your horse puzzled and trying to figure it out every day. This unique punching-bag-like toy is great for keeping horses company, preventing boredom (and behaviors stemming from boredom), and even for desensitizing horses to strange movements. Standing 60" tall, the Jolly Sidekick is tough enough for even the largest horses! Easy to fill, the water and air nozzles are recessed to prevent horses from pulling on them. Removable, washable nylon cover with whimsical boxing horse image on both sides slips on and off with ease. Cover attaches at bottom with hook and loop fasteners. Air pump not included. For horses of all ages and sizes.

Why horses need play
Horse are designed to spend their time outdoors grazing, so it is essential to keep them busy during any alone time. If they are not kept busy, they may develop what are termed "vices", such as box walking, wood chewing, or weaving, behaviors that are very hard to break once begun.

The following are some recommendations to help avoid your horse developing these vices:

• Turn horses out more often to allow for more freedom and less boredom.
• Offer companions like roosters, goats, or cats.
• Increase their roughage or hay content.
• Offer your horse treats that they have to "work" to get at, such as Amazing Graze, Jolly Snack Holder, or Pony Pops.
• Give your horse toys, like Jolly Balls, or the Jolly Sidekick to keep his mind and body active.
