[haflingerfriends] DYI toys for Camryn

Camryn has a Jolly ball she never plays with, just been laying in the paddock gathering snow.  As one of our click games I began dragging it about for her to chase after to touch.  Have been doing this with quite a few odd things, I'm sure my neighbors are thinking the snow is causing me to crack up LOL.  Anyway, Camryn enjoys the games and being on her own I figure it adds something to her day.  Ecspecially as other than seeing the neighbor horses she's on her own for the first time in her life.  Adjusting well but still I'm sure she gets bored.
After playing a few days ago, I took the jolly ball w/lead rope attached and hung it on the gate to play with later.  Saw Camryn happily playing with it as it hung, so looked around for more things to keep her occupied.  I'd been saving those plastic coffee containers for quite a while, don't know why but figured I'd find use for them some day!!!  Now the neighbors think I'm totally gone over as their hanging from tree branches at head level all over the paddock.  Camryn seems to appreciate her new toys, and is using her muzzle to banging them in the air and against the trees.
Any other inexpensive ideas?  My TWH was on older horse not interested in play like she appears to be.
