    Horse Election

    If they are not giving you the correct advice then they are not the right Solicitors for the job. I suggest that you look for a Solicitor who specialises in this field.

    Potential hay shortage

    And of course this is going to have a huuge knock on effect cost wise to everything. So not only big increases in horse feed but also the cost of living prices. I have noticed just lately that there has been little increases here and there and recently a £1 per jar on the coffee that I buy.
