Stallion in next field

[Pearlsasinger]

Oh PaS, surely you know me well enough by now that being firm is not a problem for me?

You have neighbours who manage their walls with persuasion. I am happy for you. I, and many other people, have neighbours who don't. They don't do what the planners say. They don't do what the Peak Park say. And they most certainly don't do what I say. After years of persuasion and promises, we leant that he only way to keep their sheep off my land is to fence boundaries which they own.

The best bit about it is that the wall belongs to us!
Would you like me to come over and have a word?

Thanks everyone . It's not post and rail which would be ideal, but there are no gaps and there's a fantastic hedge on either side of stock wire, but with a stallion where there's a will (or Willy!) there's a way ��. Luckily my mare is more butch than slutty. I'm probably over reacting but it's great to get your feedback as I've never been out in this kind of situation before x

In that case everything should be ok. Tbf the stallion is no more entire than your mare.

That's not relevant, though. Your stock were secure. Because of the lie of the land, his were not. He was required to secure his stock, which he did. Not every farmer is as amenable, especially when you are running only horses, not sheep. And perhaps even worse, are a southerner incomer with the wrong accent.

Perhaps you could inform your neighbour, as a friendly gesture, that you will be starting to offer your horses a mineral lick / free choice minerals containing copper and as excess copper is toxic to sheep he should know this may be the reason for any sudden deaths that occur in straying sheep. Follow this with your sweetest smile and ask how his haymaking is going....

sounds like the fencing is suitable, the other owner could be just as annoyed that there's a mare next to their stallion as you are with a stallion next to your mare. Their both 'entire' after all

Years ago i hacked out on my gelding with a stallion.. no problems. Not so much as an ear laid back. we were both on a riding holiday. We turned them out in adjacent paddocks with very good fencing. after about 15 minutes there was a lot of horse screaming. We rushed out to see (to my horror) my boy tearing down the fencing to get at the stallion. I think in his defence the stallion must have said something very rude to my boy!

We repaired fence and put up electric fence to keep them apart.

Next day hacked out as if nothing had happened.
Horses are odd.
