Daffy had one of these:http://www.rideaway.co.uk/distraction-aidAdmittedly he's destroyed it in a fit of rage with his neighbour, but he enjoyed it when I used to put chopped veg in it.Try using a vegetable peeler on carrots, parsnips, suedes, apples, anything like that, and mixing the peelings into hay.One of Daffy's favourite toys is a leadrope - I took the clip off and then fixed it to one of the bars on his stable, or to a tie ring. I put knots (quick release) in it, then he pulls them out. It was a habit he already had but not a good one to teach unless you're careful when tying up. To be honest, the best thing for them will be more time outside of the stable, not least for their physical well being with them all being older. I know it's hard with the ground being so wet, is there not an arena that they can have a leg stretch in?
Since its good to have hay in front of them all the time and they certainly don't look underfed, you can try doubling up the hay nets. My horses are not interested in toys at all. I have tried buckets(laundry detergent containers work well) filled with rocks and bells with the lids glued on and hanging down with a rope through the rafters but they may hit it once or twice and not interested. Same with the lickits. But hay keeps them from being destructive and bored. My dogs have stolen the Jolly balls!
