Abstract: A securing device that secures an animal chew to prevent animal choking. A chew with one or more boreholes may be inserted into the cavity. A pin is inserted, through the body until it passes through the borehole. A latch obstructs the head of the pin so that the animal cannot work the pin free while enjoying the chew. To remove the pin, the animal's caretaker can apply force to the end of the pin to push it free past the latch.

Abstract: A device used to pacify horses contained in an enclosed area which, out of boredom, chew on anything within reach. The device preferably consists of a series of elastomer rubber pieces that may rotate on a shaft. Horses are enticed to bite or chew the rubber pieces in the device through scent and their natural curiosity. When a horse plays with the device by chewing or biting, the rubber pieces rotate. The rotation of the rubber pieces plus the associated noise created by movement of the shaft in a supporting slot entertains or amuses the horse, serving as a pacifier to relieve horse boredom and reduce the penchant of horses to chew other objects.
