I've used it as a temporary tie for rugs when my old geldings buckle got chewed off by a helpful companion.

At the moment I have a hell of a lot of it around my rubber mats as I am moving yards tommorrow. (rolled up so easier to carry)

I have used it plaited to re-string haynets.

When you're out hacking and the goon takes off with you and sticks his foot through the reigns, you can make a whole new bridle with baler twine (which we did for the 2 hour hack back home!) He looked very fetching in an orange "bridle"

A belt when my elastic suddenly went in my jodhpurs!

Threaded through my hoof pick to hang it up.

My OH uses it to hold the tape on the electric fence to put it back in the clips when it pops out.

I use it on my hay ring to hang the net off rather than tying it to the ring itself.

armed with duct tape , baler twine and WD40 you can mend anything!!
best use ever was as a temporary throttle cable on an old fiesta! ran it from under the bonnet through the drivers window and thats how we made it back to college from the beach at Brean!!

I've used it as a replacement shopping bag handle (just the fashion accessory in Waitrose!); plus spare stirrup leather when mine broke; used plaited bailer twine as a belt for baggy jods; dogs leads, measuring out the arena, most recent enterprise is to tie plastic bags on it and use it as a training aid for Le Trec!!
