Horsemans Pride 40' Jolly Mega Ball Green

Instructions from the manufacturer need to be improved. This ball would have received a 5 star rating if it had better directions. Had I been able to review it on the day I blew it up, I would have given it a one-star rating. In order to ensure the ball lasts long, the manufacturer suggests that you buy a cover for it. You should read all the reviews so that you will be emotionally prepared for this test of your nerves when preparing to use the ball. It would be a good idea to take a nerve pill if you have any. Having a drink. I'm not feeling so well. It will take two hours. Bring snacks, chairs, and a shaded area. Using the manual pump included with the ball will help you inflate the ball if you have a large family. Each person takes a turn. As if you were performing The hour long session. You need an electric air pump to blow up the ball inside the cover. You need to put the ball inside the cover before the pump blows The small cover hole needs to be made sure to stay in the small ball air hole. The first inquiry you will have about your purchase will come here. Your task can be accomplished if you manage it well. I love it. You face the biggest challenge when it comes to knowing when to stop pumping air. It is not possible to contact the manufacturer for help. The ball needs to be measured over and over again. It's hard to gauge the height of a gigantic ball that's round and gigantic. A horse measuring stick with a sliding right angle at the top is ideal for measuring horses. It would be greatly helpful if you did that. If you are not alone, one person can hold a stick across the top of the ball, and the other person can measure down to the A 40-inch screen. You're told to check "the bounce" by the manufacturer. He does not mention how high she is. Even though the pictures on the box make it appear that the cover is Even so, there is a lot of suspense as the ball gets very tight while the cover still has six inches of loose fabric. If the ball is hanging with fabric, you know that it will not roll. Stepping on it will result in injury for the horse. It is at this point that you will begin to wonder if the cover should have been washed first to give it a chance to An option not to be considered. A ball that is so small had a hard time getting It must be nearly impossible to get it out. cover, roll it up so it has the shape of a snake. The task is not It unrolls once it is inside the cover. $75 is the last thing you will ever see. In the following moments, I measured the ball several times, stopping every time I came across one. In the end, I did not have the guts to blow the cover all the way. When I turned forty, I was 40 years old. It seems like my cover is a little loose (same as I could figure out). In the instructions, the cover is to be washed immediately after use That's all. My word is my bond. The cover will never be washed. You don't have to violate any instructions unless you're a masochist. Or if the instructions mean There is no need to wash it. There is no visible dirt to be found. It does not matter what the surface is. I like the look of it. When you introduce your horse to the ball for the first time, instructions recommend keeping him on a lead. Having my gut tell me not to do that was difficult. Having a loose horse running with an attached lead hitting him on the rump is a disaster waiting to happen. It is best to hold onto a freaked horse if you are very sure you can. There's no problem at all. Whenever I ride my horse, he walks like this The horse is turned out of the barn into a pasture that is 2 acres in size. She is allowed to investigate the ball on her own after I have put it in the pasture. After beginning with her stall door close enough to run inside if she needed to, she then moved closer to the door & ran in I wish you a safe trip. As he accepted the ball, he did so slowly. During our first meeting, I stayed with the ball and rolled it slowly around for her to see that it wouldn't When she joined me to catch the ball, I gave her some mints. 'Boys' will be the ones to jump on the ball and make things happen -- I feel that way Hell will rise with that. My guess is that. There is a possibility that a feisty filly will play hard as well. I just push the hay with my horse's nose & her mouth A lip. When it takes off with the wind, she gallops along beside it. There are six years between her and her birthday. It is a team of sixteen There is an instruction not to leave the ball outside. Does not help in bringing in the light It has something to do with the sun, I believe. It will be interesting to see what I come up with. You'll enjoy it!.

It has been over 12 years since I purchased one. Those who have been practicing to figure out how to make the things last longer have discovered that the 40 inch size is best. Trial and error is the best method. In addition to using a compressor to blow them up, you will need to cover them or they won't last long at all. I have bought all the covers out there and the pink camo is the most durable due to the lesser incidence of seams tearing. It is also the largest and is able to withstand the most pressure. It must be blown up to the point where it is tight as possible and yet be able to be Velcroed shut, as they tend to pop Two hours of play a day in a heavy duty round pen with a ball is all he gets from me as a two year old stallion. You are liable to have your fence torn down if you have a young horse and a flimsy fence. The pain in my son's ear is so bad he bites, lays on them, and treats them with the intent to pop them, but with practice I have been able to get them to last up to five Adding an update This ball as well as the camo cover is a great value, my last one lasted 7 months, keep it inflated until the cover is completely snug, no room for it to pinch. You can find me on Instagram.

The ball has been the source of complaints, which is unfortunate. Clearly, the air isn't being aired up all the way. To air it out completely and with an air compressor, you will need an air It works great for me to have a small portable compressor. I can tell that my ball is inflated since I get a cover and you need to fully inflate it to make sure the cover covers my ball. It's a big pasture with plenty of sticks, stumps, pine cones, trees, etc. , and my horse can't manage to stay on his feet very easily. When I leave it with him in the pasture, he kicks it, kicks me, falls on it, etc. I’m not leaving it that way. Having such a knucklehead as he is, he needs supervision when he plays with his ball. He loves this ball, and I love watching him play with.

In a nutshell, Keep away from the soccer style if you need a cover since they are difficult to resew when your horse tears them. It is good to get a cover though, since it really does protect the ball from debris during play. It is easy and quick to fix the beach ball style. The pump is worthless, as mentioned in the other review. Instead of me writing a review, here is my horse's take on the event. Clearly, he is in love with This year, we will get a new ball because last year's was slowly leaking and we haven't found it so we need to order a new one. When compared to other balls in the same price range, this one holds up pretty well. Though I'm aware there are more expensive balls out there, I haven't tried one yet to determine if it is of comparable.

Two days after his thing lost air, it started to swell. It's possible that I received a defective item. Followed the directions, used a cover, but it didn't seem to work? The price of these is so much lower than other brands. It may be worth ordering again to see if that was just a dud to begin with since I know they are a bunch of fun to use. As an example, I have a yoga ball I use with my dog, and that thing has been outside without a problem for two years. So I would not expect this ball to lose air over Thus, I returned the first one and bought the second. That was my first mistake. . . and it should have been in the cover as well before you blew it up. Your supposed to put snaps on his stupid thing because you have to squeeze the tiny ball into a tiny hole after rolling it up. Anyhow, I'm on my third one right now. There's no way I can stay on my horse all the time. It's fun but the air comes out too easy. I blew up yesterday and in the past three days I have already blown this setup A real pain in the rear.

You will definitely want a protective halter. Two reasons make this the perfect protective cover to get, it is loved by our burro and it is very easy to clean. In order to ensure that it is not damaged by the sun, rocks, etc. A plug is hidden in order to avoid detection. Despite the fact that several burros have pulled the plug already, our burro just keeps on going. The duct tape was still there, despite my efforts to hide it. Replaceables are nowhere to be found. Although the ball I bought had two plugs, there was no foot pump included. To fill it, I used my air compressor, but if I didn't have one I would not have been able to do so.
