I have a smallholding in Chelmsford, and my stables back on to some newly built houses.
My stables are literally about 3 metres from one of the houses back fence.
Well, last year, all hell broke loose when one of the neighbours, knowlng full well that we have horses here, let off what I can only describe as IRAQ WAR re-enactment.
They were letting off fireworks and firebombs straight over the top of my stables.
Well, as you can imagine, my three horses were petrified.
We went round and asked them to stop, which only resulted in a full blown slanging match and people threatening to kill each other
They just did not accept that letting fireworks off near horses is not only irresponsible but did not seem to accept that the horses were terrified and likely to do themselves injury, if not physically then mentally.
Anyway, after knowing full well that they had upset me, my family and my horses, they had the bare faced cheek to then ask if they could purchase some land off us. Well I think you know what our answer to that was
I have just had put in my letterbox a letter with attachments (9 pages long) which says "FIREWORKS EXTRAVAGANZA 7TH NOVEMBER 2009", "PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY NASA", to take place at their house.
I mean, are they taking the P**s of what!
They included legislation in their attachments which states "FIREWORKS MUST NOT BE SET OFF OR NEAR LIVESTOCK OR HORSES" etc etc.
Are they thick or what.
I have written to my solicitor not only due to the horses but due to the fact that their garden is just not legally big enough to let fireworks off near the people in it.
The family own a very well known waste company in Essex. I have a good mind to go to the papers about horse hating ba***rds
