horse pooping out piece of hay net

JJ RANCH · 07-03-2009, 02:48 PM

duke has done this before, no matter how i try to get it off bale, he eats a piece. just a very fine net string. horse hair thickness, usually just one strand that i know of..

went to get them put up and there he is standing.. eating and booty puckered with a piece poking out. i do not pull on it just in case it cuts into something vise versa. what do you do??? anyone else do this or pass wierd stuff??

Dodge ate a sponge once.

I took it in to scrub his water bucket and he grabbed it as I was walking by, chewed it up, and swallowed it. The little stinker even ran from me when I tried to get it back! I fed a couple meals of really wet bran mashes to help it move along and a couple days later we had a sponge again!

As far as the string, I'm not really sure. How long do you think the string is? I definitely dont think I would pull it out, but it would be very tempting!

Do you see your horse as just a piece of property, or does it mean more to you?	Stormyheart6160	Horse Chat	44	02-13-2007 09:49 AM
