It's their land, they have been aggressive with other family members since their arrival, I was hoping that if I approached them in a friendly manner as they don't know me it was better than their usual method. But I am anticipating the husband to get involved and start shouting at me, in which...

Advice needed please. The owner of 5 horses in the neighbouring field has been poo picking and throwing it in the adjoining hedge bottom, some has come through to our field. We are the owners of the hedge. We have indoor stables to which the back is approx. 1 yard away from the boundary. There...

yes it was a prelim - at a livery yard holding a venue - with a total of 30 entries for 4 classes!

My smile was even biger when I read this!LOL

I'm sorry - I had to smile as I pictured this ! it conjured up a multitude of images that I didn't out to think too much about. There are some seriously strange people out there aren't there?
