I'm hoping someone has a doctor who style zapper to erase my memory of this morning......

So I was walking my dogs today around the horses field, doing a fence check etc. At the back of our field is a tiny single track road just leading to a couple of farms, you rarely see traffic up there. There was a couple of bits of litter, and a bag of dog poo chucked over the fence... nice.

THEN...

Then I found a big pink salami shaped dog toy! So I thought, I'll throw that over the fence so it's rightful owner can claim it.
So I picked it up. It nearly shot out of my hand it was so slimey.
"Goodness me", I thought. "The dog who's had this is rather slobbery."

On closer examination...

The "dog toy" had a "WRIGGLE" and a "VIBRATE" button!

AGHHHHHHHHHH! IT WAS NOT A DOG TOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm scarred for life!!!! I touched it!!!!!!!!!
I've bleached my hands, just about restrained myself from bleaching my eyes...

Has anyone else ever found anything properly weird or disgusting in their field???
 
Went to the yard one morning (it's private, not livery) and as I pulled in saw a few sheets of crumpled newspaper weighted down. Thought "I hope that's not what I think it is", it was, some disgusting lowlife had had a dump in my driveway and left it there :( Probably less vile than your find though Kate.
 
A pair of lacy underwear and a used condom...but still not quite so gross 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
 
Eeeeewwwww!!!

never found anything, but at my old livery yard my field backed onto a nature reserve. It was private land but some people walked their dogs through it. During the summer, it was used as a place where consenting adults would pitch tents and have grown up parties... You could hear them at it like rabbits from down on the yard!! The YO Had reported it to the owners of the land but the parties never stopped. We can only assume it was the land owner holding the parties. I never got an invite.
 
Oh...Oh my! :D Poor you! May I suggest acid baths for your temporal lobes? A mild lobotomy, perhaps? :D

The strangest things I've found are:

* A partial skeleton of a cow, including a crushed skull and horns. That field was used as cow pastures years and years ago, and, apparently, one cow was never missed.

* Somebody's ragged shirt, trousers, underwear and shoes, scattered across a rather big patch of land. That was a rather uncomfortable find - never understood who that might have been and what had he been doing in the field.

* A romantic couple who were having a picnic and acting rather annoyed that I'm asking them to leave. :D They had gotten through three strands of electric wire to "watch the cute, black pony" who was, in fact, an aggressive, 16.1hh stallion - luckily for them, he hadn't noticed them yet.
 
I had a message from my field landlord on Monday, to say there was a car in the field. They had also taken out the fence and the hedge, leaving my horses free access onto a major A-road. Whoopee.

The gross bit? Probably several litres of engine oil soaking into the ground. :(

Anyone know how long it is likely to take to be 'safe'?
 
Hahahahaha BeingKate I feel for you!!! But how funny! I bet you were not expecting that! I have yet to find anything "interesting" other than a lost horseshoe... think I'll count myself lucky :p

No idea, but I hope the occupants were OK?

I assume your horses were OK too?
 
The strangest thing we have found in our field, are blue claws, they look like lobster claws, they are in fact crayfish claws that the crows have picked up from the nearby stream and dropped en-route!

The worst, wasn't actually in our field, but the driveway to the yard one morning, some scumbag decided to dump a dead colt foal complete with half its cruddy bedding bagged up!
 
I think so. Obviously it's all confidential, but we got the impression from the Police that they just needed a check over.

Horses were a bit baffled, just standing at the top of the field, staring around. They are in the summer field now (trashing it!) and thoroughly enjoying themselves! No issues with traffic either. Apparently, they just looked up when the car came through and that was all!

Just glad I got there before they decided to amble over and investigate. :o

Goodness me, I am glad it ended as well as it could have!
 
Out for a walk round edge of farmers field next to a friends yard we came across a large pile of what looked like tripe but much bigger - white shiny tube like stuff in a heap about 6 feet across, by 2 feet wide, by 3 feet tall at the bottom of a telegraph pole. No particular smell although friends dog was very interested as were the flies, yuck! Light was going so couldn't get a decent picture on her phone and when she went back a few days later with a camera it was gone. To this day we don't know what it was but suggestions from others have been inside out animal hides (deer, cattle, something large), some kind of crop cover covered in fertilizer and a giant dead cuttlefish lol!

We frequently get cars coming into the summer fields (luckily in winter). It's right next to a sharp bend at the bottom of a hill. The slightest bit of ice and anyone going a bit too fast just doesn't stop or make it round the turn. YO pulled 3 out of the hedge in the space of 90 minutes the other day.

Part of the reason they get left for hay and only grazed in the summer - they're also very wet in winter.

Hope your horse are OK?

As to the engine oil, that will probably need to be removed - by digging out before it migrates through the ground to the groundwater and from there onto someone else's land, in which case your landowner by not clearing it up will be liable - I assume neither of you know who the car belonged to. Your local authority will be able to help, ask for the contaminated land officer. |If it's not soaked in too far you might be able to get some absorbent granules that will suck it up, they'll need disposing of at a hazardous waste landfill, as will the soil if it does need digging out. You'll need your landlord on side as well, it would be best in fact if he made contact. Oil/petrol in the ground, especially if it is several litres, is a potentially serious problem. Sorry to not be a bearer of good news - I work with a company that deals in contaminated land, and it can be very nasty and expensive if not dealt with properly.
 
Not at the yard but a road just around the corner - pages of a porn magazine. Reckon they must have been thrown out of a car as they were all along the road - didn't know where to look! Happened a couple of times. Just hope no kids saw them.
 
had to get an old man and a young girl to remove their selves from my gateway years ago when came back from a hack.they were having se* tapped on the window with riding crop.not a pretty site.but i wasnt going round the block again and turned down his invite to join them.
 
OP that is hilarious! just read it out to the non-horsey girls in the office!

At least you didn't throw it for the dog! ha ha!!!

Horses are fine. We do know who the car belongs to, but the field is seriously wet and most of the oil has already soaked in. It's probably around 2 to 3 litres and I bet it's spread down and out a fair bit. I don't think it will end up being removed, as access is very difficult at the moment, it's on a slope and very, very wet mud. Thankfully, there are no watercourses nearby and the only land it's likely to run onto is the ground the road is built on.

They may not have even removed the car yet. I will then have to pick out all the bits of glass and plastic trim, fence staples and wire from the mud. Nice. :(
 
At the first yard I was on, one of my fellow liveries told me she had seen the 40 something father of one of the teenage liveries being given ehem, oral relief, in his van outside the yard gate - by his daughters teenage best friend while they waited for her.
 
The farm I was on had a field which bordered a 90 degree road bend. So many cars got it wrong and ended up in the field that they took the fencing down completely to save repair bills. It didn't help that there was a really scummy council overspill estate 2 miles or less away so half the cars that crashed were either nicked or not insured. The bitter part of me says unfortunately they always walked away unscathed.

The wierd thing was that there was a huge amount of flytipping done along the verges around the area, ranging from packaging from the nearby Maccy D to furniture, matresses etc, with everything in between. There was a council tip only half a mile away though!
 
Of the more 'organic' gross objects, I've found a cow's hoof, various dismembered mice, a rabbit that had succumbed to an adder bite and a lamb's leg.

There was a piece of sh***y loo paper hanging from a tree at the new yard. Bleugh!
 
Yuck, poor you OP!

Not in the field, but my OH was helping fill haynets one day, and he pulled some hay off the bale that was a bit dense and difficult to pull apart. He started really yanking it to get it to seperate, only to realise that the reason why it was so clumpy was because it was actually a squashed dead rat that had been rolled up in the bale, and he was now pulling it apart. Ewwwww.... he hasn't been as keen to help since!
