Just off out the house this afternoon when I noticed what looked like a person at the top of the field ponio is in. Looked like they were floating as their feet werent on the ground

. So i walked up to the gate, person spots me and turns out to be a cyclist (in full lycra) freewheeling down the hill

. Just misses ponio (who's galloping about wondering what the hell is going on) and tells me he's looking for the next village. So I told him going via private fields on a bike wasnt the wisest way to find it, and pointed him in the right direction (obviously after telling him he really should NOT be cycling across fields with animals in, let alone private property). It might not have been so bad but he'd have had to come THROUGH the hedge to get where he was in the first place.

I really do wonder if the world is just full of eejits or do the minority just live round here???

(actually, don't answer that one)

I hate people walking in our fields, it worries me they may get kicked when the horses are charging about like idiots, some even take there dogs in!. Our ten acres at the back of the farm has a footpath from top to bottom which is used reguarly and we used to get a lot of complaints from walkers as a shetland we had insisted in terrorising them by stalking them across the field and nipping there bums as they were climbing the style. We had to remove her in the end.
I know its not the same thing but still annoying just the same.
 
when i lived in northants, the teenage kids next door decided to camp in the field next to mine. fine. until they took the tent down and decided to run around the field with it, like a big kite... i think you can imagine what my youngster did. i managed to rugby tackle her head as she came through the p&r fence at me. they did it for about 3 seconds (i didn't have time to yell at them to stop, she was already bolting). she speared her leg with a slither of p&r which went between her suspensory and her ddft...
their dad told me to eff off when i asked him to pay the vets bills... as far as he was concerned, even though we'd seen it happen, it was my word against the kids', and they denied having done anything at all...
so, yes, i'll believe anything about the stupidity of people around horses.

The world is full of arseholes, we get people in our fields, one pillock actually "sends" his spaniel into the field with the horses in, it's all very well but if the dog gets hurt it'll be moan moan and litigation wont it, pisses me off
mad.gif
same as people walking through with their kid)s and clambering over the fence causing damage, if they get hurt it's "bound" to be anyone elses fault but theirs, what would be interesting is how they would feel if I wandered through their back garden letting my dog shite on the grass and then scramble over the fence possibly damaging it, then I could come out with the right to roam crap when they moan

No. They would have no claim there.
 
Some years ago I was in one of our paddocks checking the horses when I heard a voice shout 'Catch' coming from the other side of the hedge. In fact the road was the other side of the hedge and then another hedge and then our hay-field. I ran down to the gate onto the road, hearing 'Oh, well done' and 'run, now' as I ran up the road towards where the sounds were coming from.

In the gateway was a parked car, further in the field was another parked car, and there, in the middle of the 2' long June grass were a couple of families playing rounders. They had had their picnic with blankets spread and flattened and were now enjoying a bit of 'sport'. I'm afraid I lost it completely and told them to clear off. They gave me a lot of lip and said that if this is what the people in the countryside were like then they would rather stay in the town!!! I shan't tell you what my reply was!!
 
Yeah we had a picnic party once too and all the kids were using our jumps as a climbing frame! I often thought what their reaction would be if the situation was reversed and we marched onto their back garden.
