Dappled Horse Has The Time Of His Life Playing With Perfectly Sized Ball

Flynn is a beautiful, dappled Appaloosa yearling horse who might actually be a dog trapped in a horse body. Specifically, a golden retriever. He is full of youthful energy and stuck on a farm with a bunch of old, fuddy-duddy horses. The other horses don’t want to play and sometimes barely tolerate Flynn’s existence in their realm. Flynn’s owners knew he needed some enrichment activity, so they got the horse a ball to play with.

Flynn likes any type of ball, but his favorite is the big blue and yellow one he just got recently. From the second they put the ball in the corral, Flynn took off with it. The ball is big enough for him to push with his nose and chase. It is sturdy enough that when he drops onto it, it doesn’t burst.

Alas, even with the new ball, Flynn still annoys the older horses. Maybe not as much, and it’s only been a week since he got it.

Keeping an exuberant yearling engaged is a lot of work. To watch the horse play with the big ball so enthusiastically is heartwarming. Horse owner Heather provides plenty of additional enrichment for her horses, too. As a yearling, it will be another year or two before Flynn is saddle-ready.

While he continues growing, he has plenty of dog friends to chase around the yard. Once he starts calming down his golden retriever spirit, the older horses might accept him. But his spunk is a part of his personality, so he may never outgrow that.

To watch Flynn the horse play with his ball as he grows, please follow Heather. Find out if the big horses ever accept him into the herd.
