For the hay string hack you have to actually put some force into it. I’ve gotten to where I can pop the twine with just two or three pulls back and forth. It definitely works once you get used to it!

[sarahmiller]

I have another hack that works well and I’ve used it as long as I’ve had horses. And that is to put your feed bucket in the inside of a tire so your horse can not flip your feed bucket, dumping all the feed. My horse, Babe used to do that and then would not eat the dumped feed! Hope someone finds this useful!!😊❤

Syringe your horse with fruit juice! or blended fruit in an applesauce consistency, (whichever works for the size syringe you're using) giving them something tasty sometimes can help ease the process.

For the hay net, you could have an old large tall bucket, place your hay net in it with the rings outside of the rim of the bucket, then stuff all your hay into it. Much easier and quicker then the old grain bag! ❤

I used the fly spray hack for my ottb mare when I first got her because she hated the spray bottle. After working with her for a month or two she got desensitized to being sprayed. At the beginning, I just sprayed onto the sponge in sight of her so she got used to the look and sound of it and slowly got closer to her each time until I was able to spray it directly on her.

Hosing out your feed bucket after each feed will keep your bucket clean, I like the hay bag tip, great idea,
Yushi and Tucker are amazing

What would also work, is you can use pads and some vet wrap as a makeshift band-aid

The diaper hack is exactly what we did with my mare when she had a hoof abscess. It actually worked really well and you could leave it on under a boot for multiple days with no problems. I definitely recommend that hack!

A great way to avoid pulling the tail hairs out is to twist the tail tightly and start brushing at the bottom, letting the twist out as you work your way up!

We use a large round plastic garbage can to load our hay nets. I put the top of the net over the rim of the can. That holds it in place while I stuff the net. It also holds it in place while I tie the bag.

when i saw the braided rein hack i was like "hey those reins are exactly like the ones i use!" and then pull out the tooth brush and im like "hey thats my tooth brush!" lol

[anasworldofminis]

Can you do a part 2 this was so much fun

[donnahentschel]

For the braided reins, my farrier recommended soaking them in a ziplock bag with Neatsfoot Oil. Leave it on the top of your truck (or car) hood in the sun for several hours. Then wipe them down with a rag, may be useful to use a brush if there is a lot of dirt mine were mostly dried out as I hadn't used them for years.

About the spraying: pat your horse close to the area you spray, the vibration kinda makes them feel the spray less or something like that, works for mine!

[angela_tarantulas]

I do the thumb thing with the syringe 👍🏼 and use olive oil for old, dry leather, you can let it soak in, it really helps. I clean brushes with warm water, a cleaning brush and dish soap. I wouldn’t recommend the surgical gloves, if you sweat it’s really bad for your skin. I wash the feed bucket after every use 😅 but maybe it’s my inner Monk. The diapers for hoof problems is great, we used these too!

Here is how we put hay in a hay net...Empty barrel or large bucket, put hay net inside the bucket and open it up and put the edges over the edges of the bucket, lean on one side or hold with your knees (if low to the ground), now you can easily put your flecks of hay inside. Easy Peasy! BTW, love your videos!

There's actually another method that works super well!! Get a medium sized bucket, large enough that a flak with fit inside and short enough that the ends of the net can touch the floor or almost can. Then you just put the net in, curl the edges over the lip of the bucket (kinda like a trash bag), then you just put the flak in and pull the net up!

6:43 after I use feeding buckets I rinse them and use the water that get in the bucket when rinsing to swoosh it around the bucket. Then I repeat if needed. I just pour the water out after and let it dry.

8:58 if you stand on the strings or make it tighter it works really well and very fast. I use it almost everyday
