Incident with land owner - WWYD?

I think some took what the OP had said in face value. Had we known the full story then our replies would have been very different. I did not agree with her trespassing, but I did not agree with what the farmer had done either. Unfortunately that's forums for you, people are given the benefit of the doubt. I know think she has got off lightly, and should be grateful to the LO and should be very apologetic.
 
He has assaulted you to, however it goes I wish you well, press charges to, he could have been trying to over power you and pull you of you horse and do anything, you defended your self
 
Its a good job when he grabbed the rein her horse didn't go up and over on her otherwise he might have ended up with an air ambulance on his field too.
 
Guido, the op has a reputation for riding on people's land, grass verges, etc etc, & appears to be proud of this; she has also admitted that she swears at anyone who catches her but continues to do it because she wants to.

The LO that she whipped is known to be a nice & reasonable man, who is old enough to be a grandfather.

JB , thanks
 
OH Hessy. You silly girl. You have most definitely been had. Bl**dy hilarious!

FWIW, hitting anyone for any reason is unjustifiable in my book. But you sound like a real *delight*

Glad you don't live in my village.

I have seen people combining at night, they are worse than travellers, out there with their John Deere coveralls, and their wellies bought from a CountryStore, headlamps set to "dazzle", I believe they have GPS and in-cab radio as standard.

The motto of our local young farmers is 'if the moisture is right, we'll drill all night' - well I assume they were meaning this in an agricultural sense...

But IF the land or bridleways are not clearly marked then sometimes it is very hard to tell if you have strayed from a designated right of way. There are numerous bridleways where I live that are not all signed - or at least not from both ends! Some are because old signs have fallen, others just never had signs but are noted on maps as bridleways. It isn't always clear cut and therefore could be quite easy to trespass withou knowing it.

Thats where a map comes in!!!

Just because this woman was wrong does not mean the LO was right.

Yes she sounds like a total idiot, but what if it had been someone else.

Would you think he was right if it had been another girl or woman who had made a genuine mistake.

If someone did that to my daughter while out riding our warmblood I would be bloody furious.

Even I would have felt threatened and I am well used to abusing behaviour at work. Difference there is there are people around.

Sorry but I still think his behaviour was very wrong

Don't you think it would be completely strange for someone to just grab a horse and get aggressive just like that?? Even without the whole story, it was obvious that there was more to it. We used to have a man walk his dog around/across our hayfield regularly, despite us telling him he was off the path etc. He used to arrogantly ignore me, quoting "right to roam". One day I got really fed up and asked where he lived, so I could come for a "right to roam" through his flowerbeds. He refused to give me his details, and I got hold of his dog and took it away! Finally he apologised and said he would look up right to roam. I let the dog go. To be fair, he looked it up, came and apologised, and we actually get on very well now. My point is, for me to get to the stage where I grabbed his dog took a lot of ignoring and winding up, which I suspected had happened in this case too.

Funny thing is why in the world did she post about this incident? If there is one thing we all know about forums it's there is always at least one super sleuth that will pull up your history! I mean come on!

Because she is probably an arrogant idiot who can only see things from her own side..

Quite a read this thread!
 
A few years ago I was hacking out of our yard on a private track and out of nowhere 2 loose dogs appeared. My mare spooked and I was totally unprepared and came out the side door onto nice soft mud. The owners came rushing over, very concerned.

But I was shocked and a bit peed off and somehow managed to shriek, in a comedy posh voice that I had no idea I possessed, "This is NOT a f**ing footpath!" and flounced off. To this day I regret being such a rude idiot and am mortified. I must've looked and sounded a complete tit.
 
OP deserves everything she gets then. Disgusting behaviour, deliberately trespassing and swearing at landowners. Absolutely disgusting. Hope Karma catches up with them.

Loving the replies!

Mine - feed polos to my lad daily.
Smack him (NOT beat) if he's naughty. (same as kids really, but I believe that I now banned, so should I be in prison?)
Change rugs looses in field.
Dismount the wrong way (swing leg over withers)
Trot or canter on people's lawns in front of their houses. (the bit between the wall and the road).
Trespass all over private land (catch me if you can)
Swear (politely) at farmers who tell me to get off their land.
The rest are MUCH too wicked to say in public.

Planet Hacking, good one!

I always love when I accidentally get caught out by my mouth before my brain can catch up! It happens to all of us but it's not a pattern. OP, has a history of being plain rude so it seems.

The really annoying thing is that having followed this thread through 16 pages it seems unlikely that we'll find out if she did go and eat humble pie or not! :o
