Unika Ball Gastro – Horse Enrichment Ball for Sensitive Stomachs

The Unika Ball Gastro by Linea Unika is an innovative horse enrichment ball that combines entertainment, enrichment, and complementary nutrition in one unique product. Thanks to its sturdy natural fibre rope, the ball can easily be hung in the stable, paddock, or horse trailer, allowing your horse to interact with it whenever it chooses throughout the day. Unika Balls completely rethink the way complementary feed is offered to horses. Instead of mixing powdered or liquid supplements into the daily feed ration, Linea Unika introduces a completely new concept: a hanging complementary feed. While your horse enjoys interacting with the ball, it gradually receives valuable nutrients tailored to the selected formula. Depending on the chosen variant, Unika Balls enrich the daily diet with ingredients such as herbs, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals.

Support for horses with sensitive stomachs

Unika Ball Gastro has been conceived for horses with sensitive stomachs. It contains important phytotherapic ingredients, such as charcoal and liquorice, which are useful to maintain gastric well-being. Unika Ball Gastro is a valuable ally for horses that somatise anxiety as gastric distress. Licking the ball stimulates the production of saliva, which is alkaline and therefore naturally helps counteract gastric acidity. Always ensure your horse has unlimited access to fresh drinking water while using this product.

Healthy enrichment for every horse

Unika Balls are much more than just a source of entertainment. They encourage natural behaviour, provide long-lasting enrichment, and help reduce boredom in the stable or horse trailer. This makes the Unika Ball Gastro ideal for everyday use, during box rest, transport, clipping, or whenever your horse could benefit from additional mental stimulation. Because the ball hangs freely, it encourages horses to actively interact with it throughout the day. This combines mental enrichment with the gradual intake of complementary nutrients.

Handcrafted in Italy

Every Unika Ball is handcrafted in Italy and made with approximately 93% plant-based ingredients. The recipe is based on premium raw materials such as rice and soy and contains no added sugars, cereals, or artificial colourings. This makes Unika Balls suitable for horses with cereal intolerance, horses on a diet with limited sugar intake, and sport horses performing intensive muscular work. Because added sugars can increase lactic acid production, limiting sugar intake is often desirable for performance horses. That is why Unika Balls contain no added sugars or cereals.
