When that StayBall just hits… different 😂

05/12/2025

This is something that every business wishes for themselves, but never something that we wish for you guys!!
As we hit a significant milestone in Health Horse of 🎉 100,000 🎉 sales in this second half of the year.. we are now currently SOLD OUT of almost everything!

As we continue to fulfil our overflowing stockists purchase orders, we will open back up the floodgates at 8am on Monday 15th of December for that very last week of Christmas shopping before we shut for a well earned break from the 19th Dec - 9th January

But fear not! If you still haven’t got your StayBalls or Nutri-Bites, you can purchase online or in store from most of our Health Horse stockists!! But you’ll want to be quick before they sell out too……

From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU for your support of our (now not so) little ol’ NZ business.. it’s been an amazing year- we never quite envisioned quite how incredible it would be!

Keep your 👀 peeled for the re-stock! 8am Monday 15th December.. don’t be late ⏰

Don’t leave your horses and ponies as disappointed as Santa’s Reindeer when they find out that there’s no StayBalls and Nutri-Bites under the tree on Christmas morning!!

💥 NEWS FLASH 💥If you see StayBalls on the shelf at your local store, I’d advise that you grab them whilst you can!!! The elves are making them as fast as they’re selling, so we can’t guarantee how long they will be around 😮

Without a doubt an incredibly popular Christmas gift for that horsey person in your life!! There’s a reason we haven’t been advertising 😅🫣

They’re LIVE! And in store now 😃🎉

Horse’s hard on your balls? Stack’em & Save’em with the StayBall Savers!

If one things for sure, the general consensus is that horses absolutely LOVE the StayBall! But sometimes, just a little too much and some get a little too clever -which is not entirely a bad thing- we know they’re having SO much fun with these amazing boredom busters!

So we developed these NEW unique caps to help slow down even the most enthusiastic of StayBallers, helping those balls last longer!

Sold individually, they can be placed on both sides, or either the top or bottom of the StayBall; dependant on which side your horse favours most.

And the great news? These are REUSABLE! Just simply take them off the old rope and pop them back on to a new StayBall when it is replaced!

We had so many DMs about this point, which highlights just how important the StayBall is in assisting the prevention of ulcers in horses while yarded or stabled! 🤩

The reason why horses are more likely to develop ulcers while stabled is because it leads to factors that promote ulcer formation, such as intermittent feeding, stress, and less constant saliva production.

Horses secrete stomach acid continuously, and when stabled, they often lack a constant supply of saliva production and/or forage to buffer this acid, leading to the non-glandular mucosa being exposed to an acidic environment. Additionally, stabling increases stress and reduces opportunities for continuous chewing, which also contributes to the problem.

Having a StayBall handy for your horse to play with helps reduce and combat stress while also encouraging saliva production!

This is such a great read, and aligns perfectly with our vision here at Health Horse!

What happens when boredom kicks in? Mental health declines, creating an unhappy horse.

No matter if we are on the road at competitions or going about our daily routine, MENTAL health is paramount. Our horses have got to be happy doing what they do! One things for certain - your horse cannot feel or perform at its best if it is not in a good frame of mind.

We are super proud of our StayBalls, not only do they provide great mental stimulation and encourage play, they contain ingredients which provide so many health benefits!

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.

The StayBalls are an absolute must have in many equestrian yards, not only for at home on a daily basis, but they are an absolute game changer for keeping horses happy and in the right frame of mind when on the road and away at shows!
