Trystan has gone through 7 balls so far...... so I figured out how to make a GRAIN SCENTED HOMEMADE BALL (its the size of a beach ball) and its indestructible, and the BEST part it was FREE!
Rolls GREAT, can be laid on, picked up and thrown, kicked etc. etc. etc. I watched him play with it for over an hour..
So I made one for my gelding and mare they also loved them.
You won't believe what its made out of......................nylon grain sacks.
Edited to add
For those of you that are going to try this I just thought of an easier way to close it, sew a hem at the top of the bag and string the balers twine through it, all you have to do then is pull it closed and tie a knot and it would also make it lay flatter and roll even better.
WARNING please make sure that your ends are tucked in, if they are not hemmed, so that the nylon cannot be injested by your mini.
