Many people have seen Pat Parelli and other natural horsemanship trainers working with their horses and large rubber balls. However those balls are very costly even on Ebay. Dennis Reis' large round ball costs over $200. Luckily, Parelli's is usually $75 but is currently on clearance for $65 plus $13 shipping expense. I'm getting one for myself and I reccommend you do too!
There are many things you can do with this ball. First of all it is great for desensitizing, both on the ground and in the saddle. It also opens up the door for new games and challenges. You could have a soccer match with other riders, or you could push the ball through an obstacle course. If you use your imagination there are infinite possibilities.
