The tree faces are a wonderful idea! I actually have one of those on a tree at my house... that just might go missing ; ) What other kinds of things do you think I could suspend from those arches? Would a pole set in the ground with a box on top to hold sand or bird seed be ok? To hide toys in? Then when they birds eat it we can just refill it...

Megan,
I would love to have a mail box to either open and see what's inside or have the kids deliver toy mail. If you have a box with bird seed or sand for a tactile activity-that's cool. You must know pretty well what your horses will tolerate. Where I work they have horses on the trails (not the hippo horses) that don't like new objects- so they don't allow activities like the ones you are looking for. I would look at suspending containers that the kids can insert objects into- maybe objects that they can bat at and make noise, or bat at to make leaves fall, depends on what your horses can tolerate. Suspend a groan stick and they can flip it over. Will think of more....

    Thank you so much for all of the great ideas! you can email me at mhorselover2007@hotmail.com if you dont want to keep filling up your blog space! I am keeping a running list of all of the things that I want to include on my trail. All of our horses can handle noises, the carwash things, walking over tarps and bridges, groundpoles, mailboxes, ect. So I really get a lot of lee way in what I choose to put out there... I will be back at the barn next thursday and I will snap some pictures of the uprights and the trail itself.
