I love watching my geldings dunk for watermelon rinds in the horse trough. I cut the rinds up into nice size pieces and toss them in. They float like apples. I am not sure if the horses are as entertained by this activity as I am, but that is the price they must pay for being my horses. LOL

5 Star Suggestion!!!
What a great suggestion, Jeanne! I put watermelon pieces, couple dozen or so, in my gelding's 70 gallon tank - it kept him entertained the whole afternoon, LOL!
He finally figured out how to kind of get them with some regularity - he pushes the piece to the wall of the tank, then noses it upwards.
You are right, its entertaining for the owner to watch too!

Thanks!
