the 15ft rope isn't attached to anything

The horse may be tied to a rope 15 ft long but if the horse is the opposite side of a stake to the hay then the hay is 5 ft inside the maximum distance the horse can move.

The rope is tied to a pole, and the horse can walk in a circle with a 30 foot diameter.
Therefore the horse walks a semicircle and eats the hay. Roughly.

Maybe the rope is tied to a post in the middle of a field, and the horse can walk in a circle with a diameter of 30m. So even if the bale of hay is 25m away, the horse can reach it.

easy peasy. the horse is at the end of it's rope 25 foot away from the hay and the rope is fixed 15 foot away from the horse, therefore if it walks the diameter of the circle to get to the hay.

Douglas has the answer. If the rope is tied to a stake the horse can move in a circle with a diameter of 30 feet. If he is exactly opposite the bale of hay on the circumference of the circle, he can move up to 30 feet to reach it in a straight line.

The horse may be tied to a rope, but that doesn't mean the rope is tied to anything!!

The other end of the rope is not tied to anything. He just walks over and eats it.

The rope isn't attached to anything apart from the horse?

the rope is tied to nothing, so the horse walks over and eats the hay.
