I have a very beautiful mare on loan who even my geldings think is hot stuff and who has shown hussy like behaviour at most times.
I moved my three back to my yard from their Summer grazing last week and today when I got there I had gained an extra 7 horses, one of which was an Andalusian stallion who was chasing my mare and her favourite gelding (who has been unwell with unexplained weight loss!). Basically he had broken through very sturdy post and rail fencing as he is in love. The others were up for fun and more grass. I have a bad habit of collecting horses but this is most unwelcome!
I have phoned the owner who is abroad. He says he will "deal with it" but can't do anything for a few days. A friend says we can borrow a field for a couple of weeks so I can remove her in the short term.
I am not sure if she is in season. Do you reckon she could have been covered? Her rug was undamaged and she was running away when I got there but wanted to get back to him when I took her away.
Can I insist he removes his stallion? He does have other facilities elsewhere.
Presumably he is liable for the fencing.
Thoughts please...
