Horsemen's Pride 10" Jolly Ball Horse Toy, Blue, XLARGE, All Breed Sizes

My dog loves this product! She’s almost a year old and anything she puts it in her mouth she tears up immediately. But this product is still in one piece and she plays with it all day every day by herself. I highly recommend this indestructible product.

Original review: Initially, I thought this would be a great toy for my energetic but small boxer. She loves the 5-6” version, which has held up really well. But this 10” version was crushed pretty quickly. She was able to bite holes into the ball, so the plastic isn’t super thick. This might be great for a horse as long as it doesn’t squish it, but it’s not very tough as a dog toy. I expected it to be heavier and sturdier.New review: My dog is still actively playing with this ball after 5 months and it is intact enough to be a pool toy for her. I’m going to buy another one as soon as this one no longer works but at this rate that’ll be a long time! Great for an energetic dog to play with on land or in water!

First, let me say we have been buying Jolly Balls for 7 years! My boxer absolutely LOVES the scented balls. Lately the scented ones are so hard to get. My boxer will play with jolly balls and make all kinds of funny noises and not let anyone by them. I bought the peppermint one for his 7th birthday. He had one before and it truly smelled peppermint and it was more pink than red. This ball arrived a bright red and no scent. I usually have to hide the boxes with new scented balls at a neighbors house because he can smell them! This one arrived on the porch, he walked passed it. I knew something was off. I put it in my garage and he had no clue. On his birthday we opened it and no scent. I was disappointed but am I going to take it away from him? No way! Now three days later, a ball made for horses is broken by a 63 pound Boxer? Jolly Ball has been a disappointment these last few years. It’s so hard to find the scented balls which my boy loves. I wish I didn’t throw out perfectly good balls because the new ones are not the same quality and not scented. He once had a banana scented ball. His favorite color is green so I often ordered the green apple scented ones. Hard to come by now. And ordering from independent sellers is a nightmare. Often the listing says scented but you don’t get scented or even the color you ordered. Hang on to those jolly balls your dog loves. I just loved seeing my dog get new ones and being so happy. Wish I didn’t get rid of them. So now the handle is broke and I have to be the creep to take this new ball away from a happy dog. And I currently have other jolly balls just likethis with the handle made for horses that are not broken. Such a disappointment! I hope another company comes along with similar products or Jolly Ball improves and gets more stock. Watching my dog with a new scented Jolly Ball in the past years has given this dog mom such pleasure and watching my boy happy warms my heart! Not Scented! Not Sturdy for a dog let alone a horse!

If you have a herding breed dog, you have to add one of these to use for your training, and the bonus is that they're awesome for some quality solo play time (which is also wonderful for humans who may need a 10 minute break from an energetic dog or three).I have a Jolly ball that's 10+ years old, and when a new Aussie puppy joined my household, I started using it for training and play time. Between horses and dogs, it's taken a LOT of abuse. Fast forward three years and we've added a Border Collie puppy to our family, so we needed to add another Jolly ball to our toy collection. My pups play *hard* with these balls and they don't pop or deflate. The handles are great for the dogs to carry them around. They're superior to other balls marketed as herding balls because they're made out of a thick rubber that's kind to teeth, incredibly durable, and lasts forever (y'all, horses and a young Aussie haven't killed my oldest Jolly ball and that thing has to be at least 10 years old - that makes it worth every single penny. It's paid for itself years ago!) It's the only ball I'd recommend as a herding ball for dogs, and if you have horses, it's a two-fer - just toss it to your ponies when your pups aren't using it!

My dog loves this! That said, he is an avid chewer and is currently destroying the handle, so we'll see what his interest level is once he's done with it. Definitely outlasted the multiple toys he is able to destroy in just a few minutes. So it's worth replacing it as needed. 3 weeks later: Still holding up! Best purchase for my avid chewer, handle still intact but lost inflation. He still loves it. best investment to date!

My Labrador Bailey (f) found a rubber ball and of course popped it. We got her a soccer ball - she popped it. She doesn’t seem to understand the handle to this ball but so far she hasn’t popped it. She finds it fun. Good for big dogs.

This thing is big. But my medium size dog loves it. He carries it around like it was much smaller. He destroyed an off-brand jolly ball smaller one within the hour so don't get anything that doesn't have the "Horsemen's Pride" label on it. This ball appears completely indestructible. Except for the tiny plastic hole plug that got removed within 10 minutes. Not a problem though because the ball does not deflate at all. I wish the company would make a smaller one. But I don't think my dog cares. He loves the one he has. Edited. Well damn. Had to reduce my rating to 3 stars. It took less than a week for him to chew a corner off the handle. But he still loves it. And it is still useable as a toy. But now I have to monitor his play time with it so he won't swallow harmful pieces he chews off.

The media could not be loaded. My Cane Corso puppy absolutely loves this Jolly Ball! I needed something to keep him entertained outside and prevent him from tearing up our yard. This toy has been the perfect distraction—it keeps him engaged and out of trouble!
