The Snak-a-Ball is the ideal companion for conscientious owners as it stimulates natural grazing behaviour, which is beneficial to a horse’s digestion. Also encourages the horse to stretch forwards and down, which may help improve muscle tone and flexibility.

Some Snak-a-Ball Reviews
My pony loves his Snak-a-Ball and the Likit Snaks that go in the ball. I put the ball in his stable and it’s so lovely to watch him rolling it around the stable floor and it gives me peace of mind that he will be occupied for the whole night. I would highly recommend Snak-a-Ball and the Likit Snaks to anyone for their horse or pony. I have found you can even use the ball in the field as I have done with my pony if he is on his own.

My Haflinger Joe gets so so bored in his stable. He needs to be stabled in the winter due to him being fully clipped, in medium-hard work and the mud! In summer he also needs to be stabled just for a for hours due to our rich grass and the risk of laminitis. Without the Likit products I’m not sure how Joe would cope! They keep him occupied, content, happy and stress free. Thanks team Likit.

Absolutely love the Snak-a-Ball- it’s my (very spooky) geldings favourite. He always looks so excited to play with it and it’s fab for those days when you can’t give them as long grazing as you might like. As he’s prone to ulcers it’s also good for him to be able to enjoy something that also helps his digestive system!
Our entry level product, the Likit Holder has a low level of challenge so is ideal for horses that have never used Likits before as it gives them a gentle introduction to the product range, which is important particularly for horses that are not normally food motivated – Sometimes they can be put off if the challenge is too great initially.
Medium
The Medium Challenge Level features the Snak-a-Ball and the Tongue Twister. Firstly the Snak-a-Ball, this is suitable for all horses and ponies and can be used indoors or out. The challenge for this product increases as the horse uses the product. Simply fill with any dry feed, ideally pelleted, or our new Likit Snaks. As the horse nudges the ball it will roll and the feed will trickle out. The less feed left in the ball, the higher the level of challenge for the horse.
Red TT 2Secondly, the Tongue Twister, this product is designed to be fixed to a wall at wither height and is ideal for horses in smaller stables or for those that tend to ‘spook’ easily. Simply insert one or two Little Likits and as the horse uses the toy, the ball will spin making it harder for them to reach their reward. To increase the challenge insert just one Little Likit, gravity will pull the treat down. Studies have shown that environmental enrichment works best when animals are challenged with changes in their environment. Try regularly changing the flavour of the Little Likits and even more the location of the toy from time to time.
Difficult
The Boredom Breaker is one of our more challenging toys and is ideal for experienced Likit users or horses that are particularly motivated by food. Ensure the ball is hung at wither height, well away from any walls to encourage the horse to lick rather than bite. We would recommend using one of our salt based Likits on the top Likit Holder and using either 1 or 2 Little Likits in the ball. As with the Tongue Twister we would recommend alternating both the flavours and the location of the ball regularly to keep the horse’s interest.
