Carrot Snuffle Mat (coming soon)

QHP Carrot Fabric Snuffle Mat: a soft, sensory-based enrichment tool designed to mimic natural grazing and foraging behaviors—ideal for horses who eat too quickly or need a mental boost during stall time, turnout, or recovery.

• Encourages slow, mindful eating to reduce gulping and digestive stress
• Promotes natural foraging behavior through nose-driven exploration and lip dexterity
• Provides greater difficulty than our other snuffle mats due to the multiple fabric textures
• The carrot design is both adorable and highly-visible to the equine eye
• Stimulates the olfactory and tactile senses for cognitive enrichment
• Works with grain, pellets, treats, or chopped hay
• Great for stall rest, trailer travel, training breaks, or general boredom buster
• Sized for horses and ponies of all types
• Almost 30 inches in length!
• Safe for shod horses

WHY WE LOVE IT

1. 🧠 Mental stimulation with every sniff and nudge—satisfies the horse’s need to search, sort, and engage
2. 🐴 Supports calming behaviors by simulating grazing patterns
3. 💡 Highly visible design crafted with a horse’s color vision in mind
