My boy has been headshaking for some time. Vet/dentist has attended twice over last two weeks, and months before that, hopefully got to the bottom of the problem.

I went to yard this am to find huge chunk of feed spit out by my boy and thinking, here we go again!

On further investigation he has spat out a used condom!!!!
 
Oh how revolting and highly dangerous to your horse! I would let your supplier know, even though they can't do anything about people getting up to stuff in their fields ;)
 
Gross :eek::mad: i'd be pissed off at that, thing is was it chucked into a field and rolled into the bale, or some clarty git in the hayshed that cant clean up after themselves .....mingers
 
Yuck... I suppose your horse is lucky that it didn't cause his gut to twist, could have been very dangerous. I wonder where in his system it was for the past few weeks if he only spat it out today?
 
Ew. I did snigger though!

I found a hospital baby wristband in mine the other week. Dated 1979. Keep meaning to try and find the person who's name is on it.
 
wow...and ive always been worried about finding small dead things..... thank god he spat it out!!!! may have resulted in nasty concequences otherwise (interesting discussion around the vets op table :D)

the...umm...participants must have been having a good forage in the forage to get it in a bale :O - hopefully you'll never find another one!
 
Aw thats horrible! We found lengths of barbed wire in our hay last month. And I am talking about 8 pieces of 3" lengths of it. I was terrified! Needless to say we switched supplier and we now spend about 1/2 hour filling one bloody hay net cos we are so paranoid we have to shed it to pieces!

It must have only been in the mouthful he was eating right then. If he had swallowed it it would not have come back up and out through his mouth, horses cannot be sick, that is why they get colic. If he had swallowed it, and it had not caused a blockage, he would have just passed it in his poop.
 
Would like to know how you know it was used??? I don't think there would be one in every bale of haylage, so don't think that is the cause of your head shaking problems tbh!
 
Gross! Realistically seems a bit hard for the haylage makers to know what went on in their field :o
Doubt that's anything to do with head shaking unfortunatly.
 
Filth, I'd make everyone at the haylage place aware as pound to a penny, It was someone that works their, on their luch break with GF or BF

The haylage place? Could you explain please? What haylage place are you talking of? You do know how haylage is made don't you?
 
I can only assume that all you disgusted people are virgins and planning on staying that way! Get a life, the horse didn't swallow it, it spat it out. I hope this horse is never for sale, I can see it now 'Only head shakes when has contact with condom'.

There are a lot more things out there to be disgusted at, much worse than a bit of rubber a horse spat right out and would still love to know how op knew it was used???
 
Gosh, that's very funny! Lots of things end up in hay and haylage, horses are quite used to sorting through what they eat as they graze and eat their hay. Whilst you might wish that they didn't come across random plastic/bottles/sticks/dessicated frogs, etc., I wouldn't get too hysterical about it as they can quite easily distinguish between dross and the good stuff.

Im not surprised Most folks are disgusted at it, tbh im surprised your not, and its got naff all to do with being virginal or even sex, its the leaving a used condom with its contents which could be disease ridden for all you know lying about thats whats disgusting.

I would still love to know how it was ascertained that it was a USED condom, after the haylage had been cut, baled, wrapped and then chewed, just a lot of crap about nothing!!!
