Uses for bailer twine

TBEventer2002, you just have to get a shortish piece of baler twine and thread it under the twine that's wrapped around the bale. Hold it at each end and pull backwards and forwards quickly under the same spot. The friction causes the baler twine on the bale to snap. Great for when there's no knife handy! (OK, that probably wasn't a very easy to understand explanation!):(

Could you explain how you tie the stirrups to the girth? I think I got it but Im not sure, I know osmeone this would be perfect for! But for jumper, it seems it'd be a little forward. But to steady the leg I guess it wouldnt matter much.

Thanks
 
OK, first off, can you buy bailer twine from garden centres or anywhere else for that matter or do you just have to get it from bales of hay/straw etc?

At my yard it's used as a daisy something or other (to stop them putting their heads down), the thing that stops the saddle sliding forwards (looped under tail and attatched to back of saddle), lead ropes, tying the horses up to fences etc, temporary repair jobs. Sorry about spelling and lack of names for things - I'm having a really bad mental blank!
 
Kerry Claire - you can get green gardener's twine from garden centres etc but in my experience it's not quite as strong as real baler twine.

Daisy rein , crupper .

Macha's Ember and Avid rider - tying your stirrups to the saddle with baler twine can be extremely dangerous as it doesn't always snap if you fall off. If your foot goes through the stirrup but there is not enough strain exherted on the twine as you fall you could easily end up getting dragged. Try two loops of velcro instead. ;)
 
TBEventer:
you take your lose bailing twine and then you put it under the other twine that is on your hay bale. then you pull back and for on the first rope and sooner or later the rope on the hay bale will break.

how long do the baling twine fence last? we r lookin for a cheap way to fence part of our yard. could we do it? would it work?

hehe, I was just wondering a day or two ago just how many things could be listed to do with baler (binder) twine. It's 3.30am and I have not slept yet so can't think of more to add right now although my husband uses it as trace carriers on his harness and I use it to tie back the feed shed door.
