Great for stall rest
I have a mare in rehab on stall rest. She gets 4 hay balls during the day to keep her busy. I can only use these during the day because they are noisy. In the morning and at night we use slow feed hay nets.

Great for a horse on stall rest!
I bought this hay ball for my horse on stall rest and he's really enjoyed it. He eats from a slow feed hay net anyway and seems to go from that to the hay ball and back if both are stuffed with parts of his normal hay ration. I was worried that if the ball wasn't completely stuffed with hay that he would have a hard time getting the hay out, but he's always cleaned it up with no problem. I pull several strands partially out of the ball to get him started, but I'm pretty sure that's not necessary and just makes me feel better. The hay ball is pricey but worth it. I give this hay ball feeder a 10!

Horses use & love them!
Purchased 2 hayballs. My Paint horse & Paint mini love them & whinny when they see them. Great for mid-afternoon diversion when you might be late for dinner feeding. Seem very sturdy & are easy to fill.

Horses love it!
Bought one for each of my geldings to slow down eating their daily flake of alfalfa hay. Works great and keeps them entertained and moving. I use it in their stalls. These balls are tough and indestructible. During stall rest my 1500 lb horse flattened his ball but amazingly it popped back out again.

Durable and My Mares Loves It
I bought this hay ball feeder about two weeks ago for my mare who developed laminitis in February and was diagnosed as pre-EMS. She's on stall rest on a diet and I love that this hay ball feeder not only slows down her limited hay consumption in a safe way (hay nets make me so nervous!) but also that it keeps her entertained.
It is very durable and my mare is not gentle with it!
However, it took me a while to figure out how to load it in such a way that she was able to actually get all the hay out of it. The trick I found that worked was to pack it much more loosely and with only one small flake of hay. For my grass hay, this is about 2lbs instead of the 6lbs advertised that it holds. It does hold that 6lbs (the most I ever got in it was 6.8lbs of my hay) but when you pack it that tightly, it's next to impossible to get all the hay out.

My horse loves it!
The holes are the perfect size for long stemmed grass hay. I add a little alfalfa as well. This toy keeps him busy for hours. My only hesitation at awarding 5 stars for quality is that the filler cover does sometimes come partially unscrewed. This doesn't happen with the other hay ball made by a different manufacturer. But, it was also 20% more expensive.

Not worth the $$
I tried many different ways to use this hay ball. I've tried finer, softer hay, coarser hay, and hay cubes. My horses tried to play with it for a few minutes, but gave up. The hay is very hard to get out (the holes are small). The hay cubes were a bit better, but you have to put some hay in too or they all fall out. The hay ended up in the middle, wrapped around the hay cubes. The horses couldn't get either out. A frustrating purchase.

Super durable!
I was worried about it’s durability with my Clydesdale, and it actually made it 10 months (which is super impressive!). Even when she managed to crush it, it did just bend inward on itself, it didn’t crack or leave any sharp edges. Definitely a great toy or boredom buster!

My horses, donkeys and mule love these.
I have had mine for over five years now. I use them summer and -30 degree winter days.
I do not use them in the mud, but especially good in the snow. Sometimes they want them all to themselves, but find they like to share as each has their own method of getting to the hay and when they team up they seem to have a better time. I also fill with looser hay, or finer hay and hand from a small chain in the barn and they love to work at it. Have never had one crack, chip or be destroyed in any way. If the screw top gets frozen I just hit it once with a rubber mallet and it comes right off. Love these hay balls!

Great size, mostly durable, horse actually plays!
Recommended by a friend after my 5-year-old TB destroyed multiple jolly balls (actually played with them but squashed means uninterested). He loves his hay ball and even prefers it to loose hay on the ground! He must have sat his 1200 lb self on it the first night because one side is already dented, but it's 100% functional even with the dent. I call it a win! I can fit about 2 flakes of grass hay in it, and I taught him about it by pulling some strands out of every hole to get him started. Took to it like...hay. The lid stays screwed shut, and it isn't terribly loud when he crashes it into his stall walls. He's concerned a few people who think he's pawing -- nope, just having a "ball"!
