I found a trainer in Archies hay the other day!!
How random is that

Anyone else ever found anything odd in their horses hay or bed?
 
From one batch, a dead snake and numerous Tennis balls. Air side security luggage tags - the field is close to Gatwick flight path.

I won't be buying from there again, it was rubbish hay.
 
I once found a flattened and dried out chicken, it was completely flat and almost like a cardboard cut out. It wasn't actually in the hay bale but it had obviously been trapped in between two layers when the bales were being stacked in the barn
 
Golf balls! Obviously hay from next to golf course! Also one year my headcollar i'd lost bout 8 months previously! Totally unharmed!
 
The weirdest I've ever got is a stone (shocking I know!

). However one person on our yard found a rabbit's head in their net one morning.
 
A couple of dried frogs, and this lot has lots of brambles; which aren't that strange but really hurt my hands when i'm netting it up!
 
Horse was grazing huge hay field in winter with headcollar on and lost it. I couldn't find it! Survived being mowed, turned twice and baled then I found it in a bale at the end of the winter!

a bottle of used KY lubricant... very odd... found it in my net so dont know if it was in the bale or someone had put it there...

cue hysterics at yard!

I've never found anything odd in my hay, but I did lose a ring in the hay shed one day. At my yard haylage is included in the price of livery and we just collect as much as we want from the shed. I felt it fly off as I tried to pull some off a big round bale (those things are a nightmare!) so I know I lost it there. Although I had a quick look, it was only a cheap one so I wasn't too bothered and I knew I didn't have a hope in hell of finding it.

About 8 months later I was lifting the rubber mats in my stable and there in the crack between two of them, right at the back was my ring. I still can't work out how it got there! I can only assume it ended up in his haynet somehow (although I really don't think it was that day as it felt like it had gone in the other direction) and either dropped out in the stable, and got kicked around or he ate it and pooed it out! The chance of getting scooped up at all, and particularly by me must be hundreds to one!

Sure it wasn't from the same batch of hay that the other poster found a condom?!!
