Hello all,
My first post to the forum and I'm new to the garden world,
My wife and I have recently moved into our dream property after living
in a two bedroom flat for x amount of years, the whole plot stands on
about an acre, it's a 3 bedroom semi with a plot of land, the PO had
horses and I've inherited a nice mènage and set of 3 stables.
Over the winter there was a lot of rain and the ground became sodden, to
add to my troubles the land at the end of mine is used for horses.....13
of them 😏 who broke through the fence on several occasions over
the winter to eat my nice grass which was lush, as you can imagine I was
less than impressed and the garden now looks like a battle field
😡 The owner of the horses was unphased by the whole scenario and
blamed me for having an old fence 😄🤔.
How can I get my garden back to how it was, do I need to re-turf or use
some sort of machinery, do I get landscape gardeners in, I'm at a loss
guys, can you help please
I'd say it is up to the horse owner to keep them in, not for you to keep
them out. I would hold him liable for damages.

Frank I think you are right of course but speaking to the guy got me no where, leaving my gates open so the horses ventured out onto our private road did improve his attention though 😊, going down the legal road would've cost in time and money not to mention stress etc, anyway Ive put up a new fence now so now it's time to focus on the lawn
