The EQUINE DISTRACTION AID won out in a behavior study by the University of Edinburgh, UK, over other popular stall toys.  It was found to be especially effective as it combines the attraction of a hanging ball with natural goodies like carrots and apples. The University study showed that natural is better in getting your horses attention and keeping it for longer periods of time. The EQUINE DISTRACTION AID most closely resembles natural foraging for your horse. It hangs in the horse's line of sight, and thus is significantly more effective than balls that roll on the ground or other toys that do not hang.

The EQUINE DISTRACTION AID is a wise investment as it is less expensive to use than other stall toys since it does not require expensive treat blocks that are quickly consumed by the horse.
