TRY LATERAL THINKING ON THESE - VI

Hope you got the solutions for the LTOT - V
If not then the solution to them ....
First - Her height is 3 foot.
Second - Minimum is two weighings. Weigh three coins against three coins. If they balance, the lighter coin is the seventh one, not on the scales. If they don't balance, take the lighter three coins, and weigh one against one. Again, if they balance, the lighter coin is the one off the scale, otherwise, it is the coin on the lighter side.
Another two more for you to LT.
First
A horse is tied to a five meter rope in front of an old saloon. Six meters behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking his rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses. How is this possible?
Second
Mrs. Sharma is lying dead on a bed, and on the floor beside it is a pair of scissors. The scissors were instrumental in her death, yet there is no trace of blood. Mrs. Sharma's body reveals no signs of any cuts or bruises. How could she have been murdered with the pair of scissors?
