The new and chavvy neighbours. having had a mare they could not cope with, have now imported a fresian stallion from Belgium. Their land is next to our four mares and across the road from a herd of mares and foals. They have already caused huge problems with excaping sheep, possibly stealing stone from our dry stone wall. If they can't cope with a mare there is no chance of them managing with a stallion. Now if people want horses they can't ride etc. that is up to them, however having an entire that you can't deal with close to mares is something else. Does any one else have experience of this situation? Sorry for ranting a bit, but worry about the girls, particularly the old ladies.
 
I can completely sympathise as I have chavy towny idiot neighbours as well (only two houses down our drive so its us and them). Me thinks they have been watching "escape to the country" a bit too much.

Sounds bad but I guess you just have to live with it like I do despite the fact they wind you up intensely!
 
I can usually manage to ignore their stupidity, but the removal of bits of dry stone wall and then the introduction of this entire, with their history of not keeping livestock in their own land worries the heck out of me! They are also really rude and seem to think that having bought their plot they have the right to everyone elses as well!
 
That's what I'm frightend of, especially as one of our mares is in her thirties and another is in her late twenties, in with two eleven year olds, that he may well fancy!
 
You have my deepest sympathies, as the whole situation sounds like a complete nightmare scenario!

I'm not sure if there is any legislation that requires people to keep entires in a securely fenced area but somebody like henryhorn would probably know? That's all I can suggest I'm afraid!

Poor you!

Yeah we have spend much of the day researching legislation on entirs, and there does not seem to be much. There is stuff about redress if there is damage, but that is unfortunately after the event, rather than stopping the damage from happening.
 
I guess your best hope will be that the novelty of owning a stallion will probably wear off very quickly & he won't be around long enough to cause you or your mares any major stress!

Yes JAK that's what I'm hoping for, they do seem to flit from fad to fad, they have only been her about eight months have had a variety of creatures, none of which have remained long! They have kept the stallion in so far, but I doubt if that will last as he will become more unhandleable (sp) as they go on.
 
I would go and talk to them as soon as possible and tell them of your concerns and ask politely what there intentions are about turning it out or exercising it.Show that you are really worried about what could happen.
They will need stallion fencing errected if they want to turn out as it is their responsiblity to keep their animals in. You will need to get this sorted before there is an accident
 
Oh dear. That doesn't sound good at all. I wonder if it would be worthwhile for you to electric fence your field? Just incase theirs escapes? I know it isn't your responsibility but better than your old girls getting up the duff.
 
Yes, good thinking Tia, speaking to them is a complete non starter, as they are rude and believe that they have the right to do what they want where and when they want. They have already missappropriated stone from our wall, allowed their sheep into our other neighbours hay field and allowed their dogs to roam the district.
