This Equi-Spirit ball video proves that horses love playing with balls as much as dogs do. The horse in this clip, Elvis, is playing like a puppy with his 40” soccer ball, jumping around and pawing it.
Creators of the Equi-Spirit ball, Lisa Ross-Williams and Kenny Williams says, “We believe very strongly in the importance of play in a horse’s emotional and physical well being.” The horse toys are made with durable material and have an inner liner to enhance their anti-burst properties.
Apparently even camels get a kick out of the ball, as you can see in the photos of Omar.
