In my village a posh, stuck up woman has two horses. She grazes them on our adjoining neighbours land occasionally and each time, they escape onto the road. This morning I got to work to receive a phone call that her horses were loose and drivers were trying to herd them into my field again!! This happens regularly.
I broke every driving law and got home to find her walking her horses back to the field they had just escaped. I wound down the window and said are you ok, she just grined and carried on.
Last year, to the day, the local hunt went by and her horses got out, one was impailed on the fencing and was put to sleep, she was abroad at the time and did'nt have insurance or the money, so a good horse died.
Since last year her horses have escaped twice. The owner of the field her horses are currently in and have escaped from are aware the fencing is not adequate and I have spoken to them at length about this, their reply is that they are doing her a favour and it is her responsibility to ensure the horses are kept in. The field owners are lovely, kind, non-horsey folks who dont seem to understand they could be held responsible and this woman could loose them their house in a court case should anything happen.
Now today is the final straw and I want to tackle this, as I am very angrey about the situation.
The horse owner is horrible and everyone in the village hates her.
Please could you give me some advice as I have to do something. I am directly affected because in a previous escape I came home to find her horses in my field. And again today people were trying to herd them onto my land. If the police are called they call bolt crop your fencing to get them off the road. I have my own land and horses to be responsible for and do not wish to be taking on stray horses.
Sorry this is a long post, I thought you would need good background so that you can help give me advice, which I am desperate for.
