Sorry, but this is going to be a pretty doggone long answer. Instinct, my dear. Wolves, in the wild, would roll around in the grass - or poop of the animal or creature they are hunting - to partially cover their scent, making it easier for them to approach the prey that they are after, and for them to get closer to them or it before it or them notices. True, dogs today don't have to do this, but the bloodlines of their dear cousins still run through their veins, and this cannot really be stopped, other than training. But generally, it cannot be stopped. Another reason is to itch a hard to reach spot, one that the doggie is just dying to have scratched. Another logical answer would be because it feels good. The good green grass is usually, for the most part, cool and slick. Another concluding answer is because they are expressing their joy, happiness, and playfulness.
no
Sand rolls are a natural behavior for horses that helps them scratch an itch, loosen shedding hair, and massage their muscles. Providing a designated sand roll area can be beneficial for horses' physical and mental well-being. However, it's important to monitor the sand to avoid ingestion, as too much sand consumption can lead to health issues like sand colic.
A ball typically rolls better on grass compared to dirt because grass provides a smoother and more even surface for the ball to roll on. Dirt surfaces may have more irregularities and bumps that can hinder the ball's movement.
Neither. The ball rolls faster on cement, not grass, or dirt.
If they feel like it, sure.
Wild horses typically do not bathe in water like domestic horses do. They can often roll in dirt or mud to help keep bugs at bay and maintain their skin health. Their natural grooming behavior helps keep their coats clean and healthy.
My answer is dirt I'd say dirt because the dirt is more flat than the dirt.Also,the grass has the leaves poped out so the ball will be faster on dirt......

they don't so shutup
A ball will typically roll faster on dirt compared to grass, as dirt provides less resistance and friction than grass. Grass can create more friction which can slow down the ball's movement.
Wild and ferel horse live differently than our domestic horses. They get what they need in their environment. Although is doesn't seem like it, wild horses 'keep clean' by rolling in dust and dirt. Domestic horses live in unnatural habitats where we must try to find a balance to keep them healthy. Most of our horses never have a chance to roll in good old dirt or stand belly-deep in water. So we have to be vigilant about their care. Sheath cleaning is just one of the many things we must do for our domestic equine friends.
