If the block is as you described they are usually leasehold. There is normally a maintenance fee - ground rent that is paid for the upkeep of the gardens. Contact them and also make a complaint as I am sure horses are not part of the lease agreement. Contact the management agency as well as the RSPCA or the horse protection line someone put a number up for earlier.

If they have broken the terms of the lease you could probably get a motion started to move them anyway even if they own the property if they do not get rid of the horse.

What news of the horse, Rose, have the rspca been to see it yet?
Lizx

Don't understand why you haven't tried the other emergency number I gave you for the Horse Welfare people, Rose.
Lizx

Rose,
Get that emergency local council number,,,,,,,,,infact you should be able to get a local counciller to act.,,,,,,,,get a spokesman,,,,,,,,,!

That horse pee can smell awful, fancy bringing a horse home.
We have someone round here, with two Shetland ponies in their garden. I have not seen them, but my pal has, and she says she is going to call RSPCA, as they dont seem to have much grass.

Cant understand some people.

I would get some more neighbours to complain, the RSPCA might come out quicker if there were lots of calls.

Thanks everyone.
Horsey still there and its piddling down here.
Photos have been taken but i cant see the horse from this end but my friend can and shes also called the RSPCA and was told the same lol
oh well looks like our estate will become the local stables .
rosex

If he is the kind of person you can talk too,ask him what he plans doing with it as it cannot stay there.
Keep on at the RSPCA and council too.

As MIldred say's take some photos, buy it a Sunday paper and take the photo of it reading it at least that way it's proof it was there by todays date lol, or a camera with dates on it.


Marion

Make sure you take some photos as evidence, and as back up should the horse be removed and brought back at a later date.

Make sure you have date imprint on the photos also.

I agree with everybody,but definately ring council and report this.
If this is elderly peoples residence,I would have thought that the last thing they want is a horse in their garden.
Although I can see the funny side,It might be distressing for some.

I think you've done all you can do hon for now.

I hope they take the horse somewhere more suitable ......poor little soul xx

I agree with kay
surely you want to establish it is actually there for more than a night before you worry.
i would whip down and ask them what there intentions are

all councils have an emergency numbers 24/7,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,keep your windows shut cause of the flies,,,,,,,!

the reason rspca is in their opinion the horse hasnt or isnt showing any signs of neglect,,,,,,,,,,,yet,,,,,,,,!

he may have brought it there just over night ?

Flicka is on this week, anyone remember that one?

Hope the horse gets looked after properly soon Rose, maybe one of the oaps will take out some water.
Lizx

ooh do you remember that 'on white horses let me ride away! and Champiion the wonder horse!! and that follyfoot la la ti da ooh!
OK I am not being very helpful - sorry Rose!

Kaz :o))

Rose,

Contact the local council/housing association, environmental health, rspca (again) and IHPL.

The horse should be ok eating grass so long as it doesn't get colic but it needs water, and shelter although it is now too warm to put a rug on it.
It will also need grooming and the manure removed.

From what you have said, this seems very unlikely so I would be taking photos and documenting what is going on.
Lets us know how you get on with the authorities and how the horse is doing.

Viv

Ring up your local newspaper, there will be reporters about, even on a Sunday and the publicity might make them move it somewhere or get rid of it.
Call the International Horse Protection League, now has a new name World Horse Welfare.
