Description
Product Overview
The SWYIVY Herding Ball for Horse is a 40‑inch anti‑burst giant soccer‑style toy engineered specifically for equine play. Constructed from a high‑visibility composite material that is up to 0.09 inches thick, the ball resists punctures and can endure the vigorous kicking, nudging, and tossing that horses naturally perform during exercise sessions. Its exterior features a textured weave that offers a secure grip, allowing horses to manipulate the ball with their noses, foreheads, and hooves without slipping. The ball’s bright blue color is chosen for optimal visibility in outdoor arenas, ensuring that both the animal and handler can easily track its movement even in bright sunlight.
Measuring 40 inches in diameter and weighing approximately 4.4 pounds, the ball strikes a balance between size and manageability. It is large enough to encourage group play among multiple horses, yet light enough for a single animal to move it across a paddock or arena. The product includes a portable inflation kit with a foot pump, long hose, and ball plug accessories, allowing owners to inflate the ball from a deflated state in roughly 25‑35 minutes. For those with an air compressor, inflation time can be reduced dramatically, making the ball ready for use in a matter of minutes.

Usage
Ideal for open pastures, indoor arenas, and training fields, the SWYIVY herding ball serves as a versatile tool for daily exercise routines. Horses naturally gravitate toward the ball’s bright color and tactile surface, using it to satisfy their innate curiosity and herd instincts. Trainers can incorporate the ball into obstacle courses, encouraging horses to navigate around, push, and chase the ball as part of a broader conditioning program. The ball also works well during turnout, providing a focal point that reduces boredom and promotes social interaction among herd members.
Because the ball is designed with an explosion‑proof composite core, it can safely withstand high internal pressure without the risk of sudden rupture. This makes it suitable for use in environments where horses may apply significant force, such as during competitive training drills or therapeutic sessions aimed at building confidence in shy or anxious animals. The included pump kit ensures that owners can quickly re‑inflate the ball after a session, maintaining consistent availability for daily use.

FAQ
How long does it take to inflate the ball?
Using the included foot pump, most users can fully inflate the 40‑inch ball in 25‑35 minutes. If you have an air compressor, the time can be reduced to under five minutes.
Is the ball safe for horses of all sizes?
Yes. The 40‑inch size is suitable for most adult horses, while the 25‑inch version (available with a cover) works well for younger or smaller equines. The lightweight design ensures that even larger horses can move the ball without excessive effort.
Can the ball be used indoors?
The ball’s soft composite material makes it safe for indoor arenas, provided the surface is non‑slippery. Its low weight reduces the risk of damage to flooring, and the anti‑burst construction prevents sudden breakage.
What maintenance is required?
After each use, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. The inflation valve should be checked periodically for wear, and the pump kit can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
What is the warranty period?
SWYIVY offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in the ball and the inflation kit. Contact customer service with your purchase details for assistance.
