Hey guys, it’s Krista with SaddleBox and in today’s video I’m going to be giving you a few tips on opening hay bales.

So I think we’ve all been in this position, whether you’re opening a wire hay bale or a straw hay bale, where you either forget your pliers or you may forget scissors or a knife or something and you need to get the bale open.

Here's a Cool Trick for Opening Hay Bales for Horses!

Okay, so if you have a string bale, you can actually use another piece of hay string to open the bale. So what you’re going to do is loop the other piece of string under where you would like to open, and the goal here is to create friction to break the string with the other string.

So basically you’re just going to rub back and forth really fast and it breaks, just like that.

Alright y’all, that’s it for this one. I hope you enjoyed it and I’ll see you in the next video. Bye guys!
