We bought a piece of land 15 years ago to build a house on and the land is edged with other properties one of which is a small holding. The owner used to have ducks, chicken etc but now let's people graze their horses. The fence between, one he put up before we bought the land, is totally inadequate and over the years these horses have broken the flimsy fence and trampled all over our garden. When we inform the neighbour he tells us they are not his horses and it's their responsibility to stop them getting through the fence. I know that's not true, he rents the land to them so he's responsible for the upkeep but trying to get this over to him is impossible. He got his foul mouthed daughter in law involved today who would make Eddie Murphy blush. Her response was, we'll just let them roam for the day. Police don't want to know. It'll be down to us to pay out money to get solicitors involved which I really begrudge. They are a horrible family but the damage the horses do galloping roun costs us time to make right again plus I have young grandchildren who live playing in our large garden but I'm on edge incase these horses get through while they are here and they could get trampled if spooked. Can anyone make any suggestions.
