Well you'll know what to ask the horsey clients next time you have old tyres...

Been there. The secret is to put it on its back beside the hole, remove chain from legs, & roll it in. Feet end up underneath & no sprouty legs to saw off. Come to think of it, a tree shear could have saved some hassle too.

Now why didn't we think of that before? Bolt some ply board to one side of a big tyre, lay it on its side and curl the horse up in it, board the second side up, finally get some strong mates to stand it up and roll the bugger out!

There was a tale about an old farmer buried his dead donkey upside down with its legs sticking up and grew runner beans up the legs - just recycling really I suppose

Years ago did a favour for dear old lady who lived in large house locally and sorted out burial of Buster, her aged donkey who had brayed his last bray.
Sadly she died a few months later, house was put on the market and bought by a London couple as a weekend home and one of the first things they did was to set about putting in a swimming pool - quess where!

A local knackerman at home (now gone) was said to have had the same trouble when he buried one of his horses (bought for fattening) in his own field. Apparently a chainsaw fetches the protruding legs off just fine.
Leave them protruding and you've got plenty of boot scrapers

Reminds me of a story, on trucknet I think. about a driver having to hacksaw the legs of a dead donkey on the top of a load, because it was setting of the over height sensor at Dartford tunnelA local knackerman at home (now gone) was said to have had the same trouble when he buried one of his horses (bought for fattening) in his own field.

I was just thinking about this tale as I was catching up, it came from an author of countryside/farming books by the name of Fred Archer. All of his books were based around Bredon Hill not far from Evesham

That thread really deserves to sink into obscurity. Aka the "let's fall out with folk we've never met before" thread. It's still rumbling on...
