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!
Please ensure that the StayBall is hung correctly (ie. dangling from height at eye level to your horse, away from any solid objects) and do not hang up against any walls, fences or poles!
Not every horse will need the StayBall Saver, but if you have a horse who wears the StayBall unevenly or gets through it quicker than they should do, this one’s for you!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Un-wrap the StayBall From it's packaging
- Un-do the knot at the longest side of the rope ONLY
- IF being placed at the bottom of the StayBall, un-thread the rope from the ball and thread the Saver through with the Health Horse logo facing down
- Thread the ball back onto the rope
- IF being placed at the top of the StayBall, thread the saver through with the Health Horse logo Facing up.
- Tie a knot with the longest side of the rope, keeping the top StayBall Saver in place.
- Attach twine to the StayBalls leader rope, Hang the StayBall from height (the ceiling or a tree) at eye level to your horse, & watch the fun begin!

FAQ
All your questions, answered.


The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
