The area of our property that we are fencing off for 2 horses that we are getting has a utility pole smack dab in the middle. We live in the country so the pole only has our lines from the house running to it and obviously the lines are to the top of the pole. Should we fence this small section off around the pole or do you think the horses would leave it alone by not chewing on the wood, rubbing against it, etc..etc..?
Good point Cat! I never even thought of what the pole itself is made of or coated with

Before I say my question I’ll give some background information:
I live in a large city, but my particular neighborhood is “rural” with half acre to three acre lots— some with horses/livestock. Theres a large trail that loops around the entire neighborhood, and goes into surrounding hills. On the side of the road, there’s a pretty wide ravine that is flat at the bottom and shaded by trees. I take this ravine as a short cut sometimes, it’s easy to get into because it slopes gently at both ends. There’s a lot of grass/weeds at the bottom of the ravine.
A month or so earlier, my neighbor had to give away his horse for free because he could not afford it.
Anyway, I was taking a walk to get some exercise, and I decided to walk through said ravine—- I hadn’t walked through it in quite a long while(like 2 months) and I find my neighbor’s old horse tied (by a very long rope) to a tree. He has a makeshift shelter that is just like a shade made out of wood, and also a big bucket of water that is full.i looked under a tarp that was there and i found a saddle and bridle, and extra buckets of water a hoof pic and a curry comb(no other grooming materials). I don’t see any hay around, but the grass(very plentiful) is cropped short in some places and the horse is grazing as i see him. He doesn’t have shoes, but this is normal for him because he has always gone barefoot. THere’s also one of those fly catchers attached to the tree. His mane and tail are long, as is his coat, but that’s just because of winter—-other than that, he is actually in very good condition, fine weight and no injuries. He’s just attached to this tree by a long rope halter, and can travel in like a 100 foot radius.
Thing is, I’ve no idea who my neighbor gave the horse to, and i havnet seen him being ridden(but the ravine itself is flat on the bottom, and in places where there is no grass is hard packed flat dirt, like an arena so i think he’s just being ridden there)
Thing is, although the horse seems to be faring well, I want to know is this actually safe for a horse to be living like this? Nobody owns the ravine, so it’s free use I guess, but not many people go down there. The previous owner(my neighbor) said he gave the horse to “some kid, seemed nice” but idk why someone nice would keep a horse away form their property(or at least a proper barn)
Should i be concerned and contact authorities, or let it be because the horse is healthy??? ive been giving the horse apples every day, because i know him well and used to ride him for my neighbor—love him dearl and dont want any harm to come of him
im REALLYYY sorry this is so darn long, i couldnt get al the info in there otherwise
horse property homes
When you decide to buy a property in France you may have many reasons for doing such a purchase. It could be a dream home to move the whole family to or maybe a holiday home for personal use or even for renting out for holidays there are lots of things to take into consideration.How to find the property you really dream of! They often say there’s no harm in dreaming especially when your dreams have the possibility of coming true. You can find many good English speaking estate agents on the internet who have many properties for sale. But I would like to tell you that there is an interesting way out, which will allow you not to pay any agents fees. You can for example go straight into the local Notaire`s office and you will normally find that there is a property sale board which offers properties for sale directly from the owners. Moreover you may find as we did that the same property is on sale in an estate agents window for a much higher price that in the Notaries` office, hence well worth a look.
Agencies do charge much for their work but frankly speaking we don`t think they do a lot of the paperwork etc. on your behalf. It is up to you to decide what kind of service to use. You can use an agent if you are a first time buyer, the choice is yours, we did just that for our first property purchase in Brittany.
Important advice and tips on choosing the right property in the right area
If you have made the decision to either move to France or at least buy a holiday home, it is wise to think about the right area for your future “castle” Should you look for an area which will gives you easy access to the UK, this might be very convenient if you have to return on a regular basis. So for people in this category it is advisable to look at the Airport and Ferry port distances from the place you want to buy.
You can still find many bargains in France and it is possible that you look for and find a great renovation project with a few acres of land and this could be ideal for you. But keep in mind that sometimes the first impressions unfortunately, are often hiding something, so research is a must.
A few acres of land, that sounds great, and brings to mind ideas of getting a few animals, horses, sheep, and chickens. Who knows you could even dig your own lake and fill it with fish and offer fishing holidays or if you have barns to convert to gites or holiday homes, maybe even a part of your home could be used as bed and breakfast.
So what`s it really like to take on a building or refurbishment project in France
We have been there and done it all and although it sounds fantastic it is not all plain sailing by any means. A property can be advertised as “livable with fishing lake”but frankly speaking it can be far from this, but you learn from your mistakes. When we were searching for a property to buy in Brittany we viewed properties all day with a property agent (not an estate agent). That day we didn` choose anything so we looked and kept looking and on the second day of house hunting in Brittany. At last fortune smiled upon us and we saw the last property of the day. That was it we saw it and said we wanted it, a bit rash you may think but we had made up our minds. A Bretagne Longere with out-buildings and a large unused part of the house and to top it off seven hectares of land all around the property.
Many different ideas occur and all sorts of thoughts start racing through your heads. You want to remake almost everything, this you will put here, and that thing should be moved there and on that place your wish is to create your own fishing lake and with over 10 acres what could be easier.
You buy the property and move there to do some work to create your dream. Now you have to find a well known registered builder or tradesman who can provide good references. When we bought the desired property found a great French registered English builder and a French electrician who speaks perfect English after getting several quotes for the work to be done we eventually chose and the works started.
Remember that employing anyone in France who is not registered is actually illegal and you do it would be liable to fines or worse if you get caught employing people on “the black”. In addition it is always best advice to check the persons or companies insurance certificate; we did and never looked back as the work was finished to a high quality and on time.

A friend gave me an Arabian gelding that had been left for five years on her property by the previous owner. She still has the registration papers, but I have been paying for horse’s care for five months. We have had a bit of a disagreement about an unrelated topic, so I am worried that she could take the horse away since she still has his registration papers. Is this possible? Do I have any legal options?

This seemed to be the favorite property, from all of you who answered (Thanks, by the way!), and it is in our price range. We’d have an extra $25,000 approximately to install fencing, if it is not already there, and possibly turn one of the outbuildings into a guest cottage, or add an additional stall to the barn, for boarding. If our budget is any higher, we’d like to add an additional bathroom, and bedroom and maybe expand one of the existing rooms. The barn seems in wonderful shape, from what I can tell. Also, we are huge L.L. Bean fans, and its right around the corner, so we are lucky! This is the property:

Whether it be a sweet new home, a swashing brand new car, or a classy wardrobe, most of us have this inclination to fall in love with these luxuries and latest fashion utilities. Until a few years back, it was not so easy for the common persons to get all these luxuries. But, today the scenario in the British financial market has completely changed. Nowadays, an individual can go for purchasing whatever strikes his/her mind; and all this is possible just because of the provisions of fast personal borrowings.
In fact, the word ‘personal loans’ is a generic term used to denote loans and other borrowings. This is in reality a lump sum amount of funds which is availed from any lending authority, loan society, financial institution or banking authorities. Apart from this, the term ‘fast’ means these borrowings are really fast and the process of application is quite easy. Whenever a person happens to be in need of any financial help, he/she just has to go for the fast personal loan and fulfill the monetary challenges put forward by that urgent situation.
One can categorise the fast personal loans in two parts: a) the unsecured fast personal loans; b) secured fast personal loans. If the loan seeker has his/her own property, which he/she is ready to put up as an item of security, then the secured category of fast personal loans are the right choice. But, if a person does not own any piece of property—or he or she is not willing to pledge any other item of property as security–then it is ideal to go for the unsecured types of fast personal loans.
Since the secured types of fast personal loans are almost insured against the property put up as collateral by the borrower, such clients can very easily get approval for a big loan amount with flexible repayment choice and small interest rates. However, the interest rate is a bit higher for the unsecured fast personal borrowings, because such funds are not secured against any type of asset. As far as the amount of loan is concerned, an individual can very easily get an amount ranging from £5000 to £250000 in the secured category of fast personal loans. But, in the case of unsecured fast personal borrowings, the loan amount varies from £5000 to £25000.
These borrowings are considered to be very fast because a person can get them very easily and quickly through the online method. The online procedure is also the best and secured process of applying for such borrowings. With the online process, the loan-seekers are now getting a chance to avoid the tedious paper work done by the banks and other lending organisations, which claim to provide better services but somehow fail to provide them.
HAYWOOD
He is wormed every 7 weeks (last one was Equimax, one before that quest plus) He is turned out alone…he is proud cut and rather aggressive…so he is only in contact with his own *****..and i clean his paddock and run in am and pm. all the other horses on the property are utd with worming
but.. he gets loose manure every now and then..it was terible for a few weeks during the summer, like liquid and my vet had me put him on a 30 day probiotic. the last 2 weeks ive noticed one out of every 3-4 piles are loose. i dont know if my worming program is not working properly, its the change in weather…or he just has a sensitive system
any ideas?
yes the probiotics worked
i have him on a skin/coat supplement now that also contains probiotic cultures in it
simi valley horse property
Back in November (Of 2005), a good friend left her Quarter/Arabian horse at my home to board. She has not contacted us since. I know posession is 9/10ths of the law, but is there a law that her horse can legally stay at my home (With no contact at all, or money from her, I have not even recieved a letter or a phone call) before it becomes my property and no longer hers? I have tried to contact her to no avail. I get either her answering machine or she answers and asks me to call her back at another time, because she is busy. When I do, I get the same two responses. So, really now. Is there a law that her horse can legally become mine without me purchasing it? She’s basically abanoned him here. I give him the love and affection he needs
Her and I did not sign a written paper contract on the boarding of the horse. I had two other horses from her in the past, recived one as a gift (And payment for working for her). When I was working for her, the horse in question was born, and I assisted in raising him from a foal. I do not plan on selling him (Ever, even if he does become mine).
