Hi
Can i have some advice please?
I have acquired some land around 6 acres. I've been negotiating with the land owners for months and I have never had my horses on my own land before now and dont really know where to start.
My questions are:
1) The ground isn't fantastic although horses have been grazing on it until lately. Should i have it harrowed, rolled, or checked for ragwort etc?
2) they are going to fence and post the land but it runs along side a public footpath, i don't want people giving my horses titbits so should i have it fenced a few metres from the edge so they cant be touched?
3) There is no running water or electricity, any tips on how to obtain this IE: generators for electricity? large water barrels for water?
3) Can anyone recommend a CCTV type security camera?
I really do not know where to start. Can anyone who has experience with land owning give me any tips, ideas as to what to do to make this go as smoothly as possible??
Thanks
