Sorry ycbm, Just saw the bottom of your post! Grazing licenses are commonly used for horses rather than tenancies these days, They typically are 364 days a year(you have too vacate the land for 1 day a year, too stop any rights transfering from the owner too the occupier, but I never have) The...

Firstly, Thanks everyone for all your responses and cute pictures! The trouble I have, if the land owner decides not too renew the license at the end of term, I will have too leave all the fencing behind if permanant and not electric. But I have discovered the 'Clipex Post' which is metal...

I've just managed to secure a grazing license on 7 acres of land and I'm keen on getting a couple of shetland ponies as a side hobby outside of my job, with intentions on breeding a foal here and there prehaps. But should I be aware of anything that differs from larger horses too shetlands apart...

Firstly, Thanks for all your replies, they have been very helpful. I've always prefered too send a letter, as I'm better typing a letter than speaking to a stranger! But from farmers I have spoken too, they see horses 'a waste of good land' due too being not profitable like sheep/cattle...

As the title says really! Been looking at a few disused fields in my area recently, and thought about how to approach the owner of them too ask if they would consider leasing them out. Finding out who the field belongs to is not a problem because I can use HM Land Registry and I would deal with...

Most of these neglected horses are on 'Local Authorities' land yet, when I e-mailed them, they said it's not there problem and told me to contact the RSPCA. These ponies are sadly not just an isolated situation, I took a picture of mare with foal at foot yesterday, Same family own them, but...

I have reported him, also many others too, Rspca have shot 4 horses of his and know about 2 others that have died in his fields over a 2 year peroid and they said they didn't know who the owner was, yet his name&adress is down on the rental argeement! They all work...

Hello Princess Rosie, I will post a couple of pictures of the group later as I am currently on my phone :) They still remain at the field as awaiting for the land to go through but should have her by the end of the week. They are doing well on the fast fibre they are on now, sadly, the owner...

Here is a picture of her a week ago, They currently don't have a bale. This picture doesn't show the true extent of how emaciated she is.

Thank you! :)

I won't upload any pictures of her until I have due to the owner might look on here, Don't want him finding out what I am doing! :) Luke

I do appercaite what you are saying but I have sorted everything out, present and future, including money wise. I put up the thread regarding the 6 ponies because I was intailly going to take all 6 ponies off the owner, but I decided just to take the 2 worst ones, Which are the 2 I am on about...

Thanks for the lovely comment, means a lot! :) I shall upload pictures and post regular updates as the days go on, Thanks again, Luke

Thanks for the nice comment :) I will write everything down that I need to ask the vet and I'll go and see him soon. I've been discussing the use of herbal wormers with my parents, what one would you recommend? I was thinking of giving it small feeds of A&P Fast Fibre as I've heard it is...

Thank you for the lovely comments, Much appercaited! :) They sadly do have rain scald, which is a shame, but it isn't that bad thankfully. They will probably have lice, but haven't checked as of yet. Also they may have mud fever due to them being in mud 24/7, because they never leave the...
