Following on from Eaglestones post about pocket contents....

what is the most nasty thing you have put your hand on while at the yard? I will never forget putting my hand into a feedbin straight on to a warm & wriggly rat

I think all of Cheltenham heard me scream!

Can anyone beat this?

Nope, but did see my friend lift a double handful of chaff out the bag. complete with a rat sat on the top!!!! She screamed quite loudly too, in fact so loudly my JRT ran the other way in terror.

Ewwww, that is pretty gross! Naughty JRT not running to the rescue!

Not in my pocket but once, when staying away at a show the bucket was covered in straw in the morning. I put my hand in to clear it out and got a handful of slimy toad!

I went to put my hand on a leccy socket to unplug it and saw a HUGE hairy spider spreadeagled across it .... I ran a mile

Does it have to be a hand - I pulled a bale of straw from the top of the stack and had a dead cat fall on my head!

What other hobby could introduce us to such interesting ways of passing the time? My neighbour kindly brought her tack box round to show me the other saturday, complete with a dead rat sitting in it. She hadn't noticed at first, and wondered what the wire in the box was (it was its tail!!!!!!!!!) eugh

Clearing leaves from round the mounting block.... i got a big dollop of dog poo too

In pocket, it would have to be a snotty tissue that my highly allergic, snot monster of a child had put there

I went to scoop out what I thought was hay strands at the bottom of a water bucket only to discover it was the tail of a dead rat.
