[JustForKicks81]

How do you get your horses to play like that? I give mine a ball and the eat it and get bored with it.

[kssage]

@OmaHorse: Thank you for asking, but.. NO.

Of course if you are really interested you can send me a message detailing exactly what you are creating so I could make a more informed decision.

[OmaHorse]

I seriously watched that horse do more than three flying lead changes! Great Video and I saw some others...

[ritakaplann]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Wonder how old is Atomic - he looks about 4 in this clip... Really makes me wanna try some soccer with my 3 year old stallion - Zinger, seems like it's not only great fun and play but also an excellent balance exercise for young horses.

[sbmileypenguin761]

cool!

[LovesHerNevermind]

My horse would be a great soccer palyer! :-D

[asbkeepsakes]

What fun, Karen!!--this horse has a very high PLAY drive, huh? I think my horses might be scared of this--but what a great way to get their brains working!

[lemonlovinggirl]

I've forgotten to ask. How big is this soccer ball?

[lemonlovinggirl]

The ball is great. But the hp doesn't exist anymore. Do you by any chance have a phone number od emailadress or something like that to contact the store? I've been searching for such a ball desperately for years. The plastic balls tend to burst and that's far too dangerous.

[SatinReign]

Wow, how do you get him to chase the ball? My horse hates it when I try to play those games with her.

[HeraPokusaHorseLover]

Wow , I ... I want a horse like that xD

[babybummie15]

That horse is GORGEOUS! Very well groomed coat I will tell you that:)

[XxsandraNeoxX]

That's... endearing

[EquineCrazy67]

[jenrenloveshorses]

That is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

[flyingcaballitos8]

that is so cute!!! I want to play with him lol

[buckskincob]

Wow! Amazing! He appears to actually be playing soccer WITH you...bringing the ball back so you can kick it again. Absolutely UNREAL!

[horsessence]

that's so awesome! she's an incredible rider and her horse is so cute!!!

[ulnapro]

He dribbles good...I first saw Karen five years ago, wept, and this is fifty times better than that.

[jubbiss]

that was the best of all! i laughed my ass of!

[crazyparellilover94]

[auntiepretty]

How did you get him to play with the ball?! My horse just bites it and stares at it! I have the neon smiley face one!

[purpleponystudios]

[qryste]

How does one get the ball away from him? Seems rather attached to his toy!

[gogolucky23]

aww he looks so happy!

[BluePonyProductions]

this has got to be the happiest horse in the world

[pumpkinbell]

[tremblayn1967]

Vive LE JEU ...

Merci pour ces beaux moments passés en votre compagnie .

Vos Montages sont Magnifiques .

Ils Font RÊVÉS ...

[nala135]

OMG so cute - horse looked like he was having a ball (Im sorry couldnt resist the pun) I want to go get one for my mare now :)

Is it just a gym ball you are using?

[applebottumsxoxo1]

thats so cool. thanks for commenting back. my horse sonny so far knows how to follow me at a trot. stop. back. bow. spin. and run away and come back on cue.

[applebottumsxoxo1]

that is amazing. u have a beautiful horse. he is a great mover. if u dont mind me asking howd u teach him to do that.

[eu78]

applebottumsxoxo1,

it's easy and difficult too, because at first you must teach your horse to trust in you. so many people said horse is not a dog or cat and don't like to play. it's true, horse is not a dog or cat but when your relationship with your horse is enough good you will have hard work to figure out newer and newer games because horses love to play.

[lucyk1985]

What a fantastic way to exercise your horse!

[savvyprincess]

If left to her own devices, my mare would rip around with her big green ball all day! Gotta LOVE the play drive and enthusiasm! Great video!

[loneplainsman]

So... how many of those balls do you go through in a month?! : )

Great video!

[parelligal541]

WOW what a play drive!!!!! So funny! Can't wait to get one of my own for my horses... :) That was a really enjoyable 5:00!

[zirtavia]

This is so adorable, it's ridiculous =D Look how bucky and bouncy he got at the beginning! He obviously really loves that game. And it's a pleasure to watch a video of a horse with such incredible movement.

[PrzewalskiFilly]

Look at that trot! Just look at it! Did you edit out the springs strapped to his hooves, and the wings protruding from his shoulders?! I have to go watch that again!

[triangle44]

what a beautiful and healthy horse... you obviously have a gorgeous relationship.

[lenus1988]

I love the enthousiasm of your horse. In my team he should be "the Attacker", because he follow the ball by its self.

Get on this horse and play it in a team of 4-5horses. This sport is called "pushball (on horseback)". It exist in Europe already since 1902. We play it with official rules. Are you interested? I also have a Blog on internet for the pushball lover.

[lusitanoxisto]

Hello from Switzerland, our young lusitano also likes to play daily with a ball - he already killed about 8 of them in half a year.

(If anybody wants to see him on youtube fill in Lusitano Xisto).....

We are very interested in this big ball. Can you please please give me a hint where we could buy such a soccer ball - even if we must buy it in the USA.

Atomic is a wunderful horse!!

Thanks if you can help me

[SpottyPony]

How did you begin to train your horse to nudge/kick the ball? Your horse seems to really enjoy it! Haha!

[breakingthehabit2008]

WOW

[lockhorse3]

you'd think he was half dog!!! That's too stinkin' cute!!!

[elizaalmabuena]

wow that was great.

[mad4mypony]

I just ordered my playball last nite - I hope we have as much fun!

[savvygirl19]

Thats fantastic!! Awesome job Karen. My Level 3 Arab "Lorenzo" is just learning to play with the ball.He's not quite as enthusiastic as this but i don't think it will take long. I love your boy's play drive!!

[amoramorena]

Again! A whole new meaning to HorseBall!

[SundaySilenceFilms]

Just like a puppy! That's too cute! :D

[tragicallyrandom]

I saw one too many handballs :)

[Orreos]

Hi Karen, I love this clip. I'm trying to imagine the creativity and energy the owner would need to 'stay' with this horse! Amazing free play. Thank you so much. Hope to see you when you visit the pacific north west area.

Lyse

[2494170]

awesome

[fantotangos]

Hi Karen

I loved your video - Atomic looked like he was having great fun.  Great way of getting him exercised without getting on him. Sure beats lunging - lol.

[OzPetArtist]

Awesome video, beautiful horse, it is wonderful to see a horse enjoying himself and having so much fun!

[bgsquiggy]

Horse looks well LOVED!

Beautiful animal!!

[Gentlegladur]

Hi, I'm from Germany. It's a nice video. My horse Sandokan plays as your Atomic with the ball. He love's it. It's a nice thing to employ horses.

[TrippleCombination]

awe lol

[Joeman280]

That looks like the forge Soccerball from halo 3! ^.^

[JackieLL]

Karen, this video put a big grin on my face. A NSH filled to the brim with left-brain exuberance -- who'da thunk it possible?! It's such a difference from what I'm used to thinking of with a NSH (i.e., "The sky is falling! Run!!") You have the best job in the world. :)

[halfemptysmile]

wow my horses would love to have a big soccer ball in their feild

[Pfinn582]

He's gorgeous!! I love his play drive.

I am going to have to get one of those balls since my horses just popped their 3rd green ball.

Thanks for the video Karen!

[annetat]

It just goes to show you all creatures love to play and have fun.

[SavvyShowgirl]

Thats so great! Hmm Now I am going to have to get a ball too.....

[fatboyjeanne]

Fantastic job Karen. I cannot think of a better way to get every muscle exercised in such a short amount of time, not to mention the development of that magnificent mind. Bravo.

[savvydanee]

WOW!!!!! And I thought Carol Coppinger's Ranger loved balls!!!

And Linda Parelli thinks Allure is left brained extrovert!

And we must give credit where credit is due- not only to Karen, but to the ball manufacturer..who makes a ball that can withstand that much abuse??? Karen, you must send them this video! And maybe carry them on your web shop as well!

Geez- now I have to save for the book and another ball- Gladly!

[horseaholic2007]

Atomic is fabulous playing with the ball....what a connection you have with your horses!!...they are all so exuberant!...

[morpho222]

Look like he thinks soccer is a lot of fun! Now he needs another horse to compete with.
