libs Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have heard of ****** turning out their horses on anyone's land as and when they feel like it. Not sure if this is just hearsay but keep a close eye. Give the police a call too, they may be stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 A mate was telling me there is a huge increase in this he works for a council and thinks the only way to stop it is to destroy every illegally grazed animal.....

stokie Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 This has just happened on one of our permissions . The farmer took legal advise . He then put up a sign at the gated entrance that these horses are grazing here illegally and I give 7 days notice that if they are not removed then they will be taken away and destroyed . They didn't come to collect so he got another local gypsy to come take them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) It's a sad state of affairs but if found wondering the highway they arethe landowners problem.... As in highways or local council Edited August 4, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Though naughty the best option is simply to let them out. But difficult now you've told a few people they are there. The issues you have are they will belong to ****** who won't like them going missing. Personally I'd leave them be if you can and stick a trail cam up to see if they are coming back to them.

CharlieT Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 As they are not yours you are not responsible for their keep or welfare. However, if you intentionally open the gate and let them out onto the highway you will be liable for any damages caused to or by the horses. You also leave yourself open to a welfare prosecution by the RSPCA. If they are Gypsy horses they will, at some stage remove them. Your big problem is if they have been dumped by someone who no longer wants them. The police should treat them as lost/stolen property. Get back onto the police and insist that the horses are treated as such and that they take responsibility and remove them forthwith. You may need to speak with someone of inspector rank or above. Do not be fobbed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
