Baling Twine Recycling
This message is from: Michele Noonan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well in Montana, I think every good outbuilding, horse trailer and fence is put together with Baling Twine My old horse trailer was notorious for several pieces being tied together, It never broke. You would be AMAZED at what I have used that stuff for. I should write a book. BUT, I do however have a SERIOUS issue with it being left laying around and my children will tell you, it is a sure fire way to get mom hopping mad and a big lecture about safety and some grounding (at the least) if I see it anywhere floating around the property. It is extremely dangerous when partially frozen into the ground or eaten. On another note. We do have a weanling filly for sale WHR Fiona. Sire: WHR Elsker and Dam: Tone. We always have a hard time emotionally, selling anything out of Tone. They are the nicest fillies (yep, all fillies) 1st place Weanling Fillies at Libby, Sweet and Nicely built. Does everything a weanling should. The 3 year old grandaughter can safely lead her around. (with supervision of course!) She stood tied at the trailer for hours at Libby while her mom was in 7 classes one day. Her price is $2200.00 She will make a nice show pony and should be very fast like her mom! ( Tone usually only gets beat by Dusty in fast classes) We hauled to a local barn today, We took WHR Elsker and also rode our young guy Knutsen Fjord's Soren, who is doing awesome at the trainers I don't ride much. Mandy, my daughter is the main rider here, however, she encouraged me to get on Elsker and ride and I did. He was wonderful and It was great for me to ride someone other than my mare Tone. It was a great day! Michele Noonan Stevensville, Mt The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
RE: Baling Twine Recycling
This message is from: Jeanne [EMAIL PROTECTED] I love this topic of hay twine recycling. How true it is! We have an old bit hanging in the barn alley, which has become our twine holder. Got twine in the tack room, horse trailer, lots of it on hand. We use it for hanging water buckets at shows. Another great use is for tying horses to hitching rails or horsetrailers, who might have tendencies to dangerously fly back (of course I'm not talking about fjord horses) ;-) We use a single strand of hay twine, to loop the lead ropes through... if they want to pull... they'll at least 'feel' the twine, and if they feel the need to fly back 90mph... at least they won't break their necks, only the hay twine. We use it on our cross-ties, as well, to keep the barn in tact, if the horse (still not speaking about fjords!) decides they 'need to leave'. My kids have even braided hay twine together to make little ropes, to use as ties in the barn. Jeanne - Berthoud, CO ~ Fall is officially here and my ponies are fuzzy and FAT.

My grain sacks (the woven plastic kind) and baling twine (also plastic) eventually end up in the landfill, although much of it has a second career before getting there. I use baling twine in the garden for my green beans to climb, to support young tomato starts within their cages, to restrain the asperagus ferns within their fences, etc. Of course, it gets used in all manner of places around the ranch, to temporarily patch this, close that, and hold the other up, down, in, out, etc. Baling twine, plus a good pocket knife, can also qualify as the minimalist spares kit for carriage driving. ;-) Grain sacks (well, alfalfa pellets, as my fat Fjords and donkey don't get any grain) are actually in short supply around here. I had to beg some from a neighbor, for my next project---cleaning up under our black walnut tree. The woven plastic sacks are strong enough, but not too big---when filled with walnuts, they're still movable from ground to pickup to dump. And, of course, they get tied closed with baling twine However, talk to your local recycling center. Ours recently said they'd take any kind of plastic, but I haven't checked to see if that includes twine and bags.

This message is from: Carol Makosky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey! My saying for twine is Don't leave home without it I always carry a plastic bag of it in my truck and it has come in handy more than once. I have to confess that I do toss most of it when the twine hook gets too full. -- Built Fjord Tough Carol M. On Golden Pond N.

Aren't they the good ones to eat? Cheryl G. Beck Nope---English walnuts are the good ones. Black walnuts come in a shell so tough that, by the time you've whacked it hard enough to crack the shell, you've pulverized the nutmeat. When we were building our house, numerous loaded concrete transit mixers ran over nuts on the driveway, and all they did was push the whole nuts down into the packed gravel. We call them organic rocks! If we dump them somewhere else on the property, we get fat digger squirrels (don't need to encourage them!) and/or black walnut tree sprouts (ditto). Plus, black walnuts come in a thick wrapper that quickly rots into a disgusting, staining goo, so I want them gone out of my yard, ASAP. The gleaners for the local food pantry won't touch them. In the summer, it's a huge, lovely shade tree, or it would have been long-gone Marsha Jo HannahMurphy must have been a horseman-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] anything that can go wrong, will! 15 mi SW of Roseburg, Oregon The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
