Very glad you managed to get things sorted in the end. There are some nasty characters about.

For anyone interested in n update or anyone who might be in the same situation that this may help!!

We issued an abandonment notice at the end of her notice period on the 1st April. We locked everything up, turned the water off to the property and logged it with the police. We made sure we took videos of our welfare checks and ensured the horses had water. There was a lot of moaning from her, threatening legal action that the RSPCA and BHS were going to have me etc. she then said she had somewhere to go but not until the 21st so we said in order to extend with a daily rate (we wanted to make sure it was not attractive to stay) but on the proviso we had proof of the agreement with the new yard etc. We never got this. At the end of the abandonment notice we moved all her property outside the gate and we then issued a possession and detention notice which apparently is the next step. This is what seemed to actually do something and after this was issued was the first time that she actually posted on local sites that she was looking for grazing to rent etc. Knowing her history of refusing to move we kept pushing hard and she was told at the end of this notice period the specialist horses bailiffs would be removing the horses. She finally broke nto the property yesterday and removed the horses with about 8 hours left to run on the notice. She had been told it would be unlocked for the horses removal at an agreed time when she paid the outstanding amount owed but hey ho! I am just thrilled to see her go. The poor horses are in an awful state she has 6 and it looks like none of them have had their feet done in a very long time (we did express our concerns about this and were told it was our fault because we locked her out, not sure that's 4 days growth ) , I would have loved the RSPCA or BHS to attend as threatened as maybe they'd have told her she needs to up her game as a responsible owner. Just feeling sorry for the people who end up with her next

Our best purchase was a camera from Guard My Farm so I have recordings of everything it was £124 runs on solar and a SIM and is absolutely fantastic if anyone needs security for their property!

Well done. A really useful update and I’m so glad you stood your ground.

Well done!

How awful for you. Glad you've got rid of her. This thread illustrates just why I'll never have liveries or let out my land to anyone.

Well done. Some people are parasites.
