What would you do if this company (PPS) 'took' your horse?

This is horrible and i would imagine, what this company has done is ilegle (sp) as they moved the horse without obtaining the passport, and as they don't have the passport, (or do they?) they can't take it to be slaughtered.

I would be camping out at the council offices, and demanding some answers!!

Surely you need to issue a warning before taking someones property??

I pay to graze my horses on land. I do not just put my horses on an empty field & freeload off the owners for year after year after year. 30 years of free grazing & then they have their horse seized & are billed around £1500...... that works out at less than £1 per week grazing for the time they've been there. I think they've had a really good deal. If someone offered grazing at that price they would be inundated with people wanting it.

I think there is possibly more to this than the story is actually saying. If the owners of the horse actually think anything of him they should pay & get their horse released back to them, or are they demanding this for free as well....freeloaders! I also wonder how long the horse had been taken for before they knew he was missing?

The thing is you me and the rest of the forum do not know how they came to be grazing this plot of land.
Sometimes years ago (not so much now) there would be a verball (sp) agreament between someone and a land owner allowing that person to use a piece of land for free, or a pepper corn rent, as the years go by the agreament would be lost in the mists of time, but the person or their family would still be using the land. Sometimes when the landowner dies or sells, the said land is,nt included in the sale (because they don't know it exsists) or it is and there follows a disspute like this.
Hope this makes sense:)
