Horses getting tethered and left loose on our livery yards land

[chapper]

Hi Guys
Anyone got any ideas how to stop people tethering and letting horses loose on private land? It's becoming dangerous as they are on our hay fields and are setting all our horses off 😔 2 colts were loose on there the other day and one had its legs stuck in our fencing!! Legally what can we do? They yard owner is not horsey and its trying to leave us to sort it out!!! 😖

Here, get them removed then the people responsible will hopefully not bother as they lose their horses

And it doesn't matter if the yard owner is not horsey or not, it is their responsibility to sort it out, not yours

That would drive me mad, so lucky we don't get any of that up here! Can you padlock the gate or does that not stop them? If they start cutting your fences to put their horses in then you can call the police as they're actually causing damage?

Catch them, put them in a stable and charge the owner livery. If they don't pay then sell them.

Catch them, load them up and move them somewhere completely different.

Let the scum who are leaving them there panic a bit.

Thanks guys, our hay fields back on to a housing estate and either dog walkers or these people tethering the horses keep pulling the fence down! Lucky we don't use it for grazing!!! Tried contacting the yard owner about it again today but he's now not answering �� Going to try world horse welfare xx
