I hope you're not meaning me, I find all this disgust quite funny to be honest, should be thankful the owner wasn't still attached to the inside of it, oh sorry, maybe he was, that's how they know it was used :D:D:D

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!!!

I think the shape of an unused condom vs. a used one is quite obvious no? ;)

I am assuming that the condom was unrolled therefore OP assumed it was used.

Personally I think it's funny and glad that horse spat it out rather than swallowed it

Really, so now it's gone from being used for sex, to having been swallowed by some drug mule, ***** out in a field being cut for haylage and still managed to reach the horses mouth so to speak, whole and full of fluid, get real people, I really don't believe it would still be whole after being cut, turned and baled, find something else to be moral about that might make you seem semi-normal!!!
 
It was just a joke because it contained the word "mule".....

Used or unused, its not horse food, so.....gross.....

I do agree to a certain point, it is gross but to get all moral and disgusted about it just makes it even more funny, I would have been more worried if I had found a piece of wire in my haylage!

I also don't believe for one minute that the op honestly believed it was the cause of the horses head shaking or if she did, scary stuff!

this forum has become a joke and a bad one at that :( Jeeeezuz, a lot of noise about nothing. Four pages re a rubber in a haynet, Im astounded!
 
No morals or disgust from me!! Takes a bit to shock me!

But definitely a bit yuk and a potential vet bill if horsey hadn't cleverly disposed of it!
 
Unfortunately hay and haylege is made in unsterile environments, on BSL level 4 labratories, so there is a risk of contamination.

Luckily, horses are very adapted at spiting out items they cannot chew.
 
It is disgusting, why do you think people who work around body fluids wear protective clothing ? Its nothing to do with the sex,is the clarty gits not cleaning up after themselves, absolute mingers .... Boak
 
Op - this is a disgrace, make sure you complain to the farmer who made it.

( oops meant the haylage, not the used condom)

I am over come with anger on you behalf:D

PS Glad the horse spit it out

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.

You would think so wouldnt you! Although one of mine tried to eat a tennis ball, you could see the look of confusion on his face "this apples ever so chewy!" :D

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!!!!

I have just been sick a little in my mouth... Poor horse and poor you I would get him to take the bale back and replace it...
 
There was one hanging on a bramble outside our fields recently, so obviously used as well, vom!

Its just not a welcome sight wherever it may be!
 
I thought finding a squashed plastic drinks bottle and a tennis ball was bad enough, lol

Sorry I also sniggered a little :o I am ashamed of myself :o
 
I'm confused as to how this is related to the horses head shaking :confused: unless the op thinks that all of her haylage had been contaminated with a multitude of stray condom.

If haylage it must have been in the field (not in the 'hay shed' as would have been wrapped) and am not sure if it is at all realistic to suggest that farmers should meticulously check every acre pre baling :rolleyes:


btw.. opened doesn't mean used :p
we've had condoms, sanitary wear, plastic bottles, and dead things in the past- just means we shake the hay out a bit before giving it to them...
 
SICK!

How awful, i am glad your horse didnt swallow it! (NO PUN INTENDED)

Worst thing I ever found in my small bail was a whole dried rabbit inbetween the flakes, weirdest think was a door number 47 which is acutally my house number!
 
That is just disgusting. I've had chewed up plastic balls, bones (of what I'm not entirely sure), and at one point I found a lot of wire fencing! luckily it was big enough to be noticed (was massive!), YO said it should've broken the baler (it was a small bale). Needless to say I don't use that hay anymore...
 
Re complaining, you try sitting in a tractor cab and spotting a condom, used or not in the grass when its mowed and then baled... Especially when u have crap weather conditions and are trying to make a whole seasons hay/haylage for picky equine customers in the space of two weeks!! Just be happy you got any, its hardly your suppliers fault. Id be more annoyed at finding ragwort. On the other hand its not pleasant and the people who left in there in the first place... Yuk! Could have been kids making balloons tho... ;-)

Two years ago i found a dead grass snake in a bale of hay.Bit scary and i knew what it was as soon as it tumbled out of the hay.:eek:

Well, now I'm going to have nightmares! My neighbour has 5' grass snakes in his field. I'm very glad that's not where I got my hay from...

On the other note...grim, but not as grim as someone who had a used condom thrown in their face when I was at school!
 
I also find it very funny, and it happened to me a few years ago. I could not complain to my "supplier/dealer.." as it was my dad, and we had had a young farmers shindig a few weeks earlier to traced it back to a few too many WKDs, so it was probably one of my scummy mates!

I suppose you could complain to your supplier, but horsey people are already mighty annoyed that their forage prices are going up - imagine how much it would cost per bale if you had to employ people to hand rummage through haylage before it were baled!
 
As a hay supplier:-

I've found people straying off the footpath to play ball and lose it / have nookie / leave other some such crap in your fields (delete as appropriate) tend to get a bit feisty when you say "get orfff my laand" whilst holding a shotgun and tends to get you in trouble with the local bobbies

Anyone of your wonderful people that are outraged and shocked that have a better idea of keeping these idjoits off my land so your fodder is at least litter free* would be appreciated

*dead animals are a natural hazard

:rolleyes:
