What have you found in a bale of hay?

[The_snoopster]

I do not know wether to feel sad or happy but I have never found anything in my hay (bummer)

 

[Alexart]

Rocks, mice, crisp wrappers, half a pigeon, 3 leverets in one bale which was gross!!

 

[Rache]

ive had socks
dog lead
the odd small toy
rubbish
and a touch which still worked

 

[hellsbells881]

how does it all get there! I've found a sock before but thats it..

 

[Noodlebug]

Strongbow can in haylage once.

 

[catdragon]

Stones, dead rodents and a perfectly dessicated flat frog...
Apparently last year the farmer chopped a fox's back legs off (by accident, one of the lads came back for the gun to despatch it humanely)... haven't yet found the legs, hoping never to......

 

[jessamess]

A whole pheasant which freaked me out and I screamed alot HAHA

Also found a huge metal rod like a crow bar

lots of other dead animals

Someone found a dead deer in a bale of hay at my yard last year. It had been completely mangled and was towards the back of the bale so we had fed half of the hay to the horse before realising it was there. It smelt hideous!

From YOs fields we have found many things... bits of horse rugs/mobile phone (x2)/ fly masks/ the usual dead animals/electric fence battery. Pretty much anything anybody looses in the summer seems to turn up in our hay bales!

At my yard in the back field we dont use much at some point a fox jumped over the barb wire fench didnt make it and got stuck on its hind legs. Come the spring when checking the boundries we found dead fox face now eaten off, and still cant quite musker up enough courage to knock it down, so its still there. Although it looks more like a branch now thats been sun blenched.

What was that then, lagomorph in motion LOL, I shouldn't laugh either but I have to ask did it have a look of surprise on its face?

Lol it did, actually!

I once found a metre long bit of barbed wire as well ... that one was less funny.

 

[NELSON11]

A dead black and white cat. Looks like it had been really flattened

 

[mytwofriends]

Rusty barbed wire at one sketchy yard I was at ......

 

[Faro]

Apart from the usual dead animals, the worst I've found was a hacksaw blade.

 

[Ranyhyn]

dead animals make me sad, especially dog leg and fox parts! Oh my brothers!

 

[Ilovefoals]

Ahem, a magazine consisting of adult pictures if you get my drift!

 

[bexwarren24]

sheep body parts. my horse refused to eat his hay one night-we were feeding a whole yard from a round bale. he got quite agitated, striking out at it and snorting alot-it wasnt until we got further through the bale that we started finding bits of dead sheep!

Yep, have had this too!! The dear ex and his hay. Think DEFRA would have had a field day if they saw it.

 

[purplestar]

only found a couple of things
a velcro cleaner,
and a folded £10 note in one bale !!! that paid for it's self .

How the hell did that get there, surly the grass wasn't that long

 

[tangosmum]

Smiffy, the yards kitten....a flattend dried out cardboard cut out of him ...very sad.

Plus various items of litter, birds and mice.

 

[Katie__Connie]

Wow I've never found any of this stuff!!

 

[devilwoman]

I had a milk carton the other day, complete with lid, although crushed of course.

 

[Stelzar]

Reading through the responses! Would love the phone, ten pound note and bottle of vodka all in one bale lol ;-)

When I lived in Cyprus I worked as a groom at a military saddle club. I once found and overreach boot in a bale. Another time, I found a long strand of rusty barbed wire. Luckily it was me haying that morning, the young lad that worked with me, never ever shake out the hay, he would just throw a slice in the shelter!! He was told in no uncertain terms that he would shake hay out.

 

[GLEEK]

I worked on a racing yard that used paper and we found a pair of scissors,

 

[Bettyboo222]

Money I was doing a really deep bed for Beauty and inn one flake was a few pound coins, next flake a fiver, one after a wallet with 20 quid in. I was chuffed as livery is only £20 a month

 

[Toast]
