Conquer bin bag fears

I have to walk out to the field to take hay to my horses morning noon and night, due to the problems of getting a wheelbarrow through the mud, I started putting 4/5 slices in a big binbag - the kind with loops for handles. The handles slip onto your shoulder and you can carry the hay in a handbag type arrangement.

The main bonus is the now my horses see a bin bag and they think 'Great! - grubs up' rather than running away from the rustling. I even caught one of them sticking their heads right in to pinch a mouthful when my back was turned!

Well done binky is looks like you've thought up a brilliant way of over coming a horses fear of plastic bags there!
My pony crispin used to hate donkeys but then the lady in a stable near mine bought one as company for her ex-race horse and cos we ride past it so often Crispin has completly got over his fear - although the first time it brayed at him was a 'interesting' experience! but thats another story!
