Crash Hamster Aug 2017 9:33am, 1 Aug 2017 897 posts	Quote Pin Crash Hamster Shout, wave your arms, stare 'em really hard in the eyes and whack 'em on the nose if they really won't back off. One of the most impressive things I've ever seen was my darling Squish (5 foot 1) sort out a 16hh+ horse which was getting too close and aggressive

Progress out of the field was made by literally one step forwards, two steps back. We have reported it as a footpath obstruction. I have no problem with horses being interested in humans but if it's to that extent, they ought not to be kept in that particular field.

I don't like cats, I'm not a fan of them and I'm steadily becoming very pissed 😡 ff with them. I don't see the point of owning one if it's out of the house 24/7.

ThorntonRunner Aug 2017 1:02pm, 1 Aug 2017 1,388 posts	Quote Pin ThorntonRunner At one time our next door neighbour but one had 16 cats - in a terraced house with a 6 foot front garden and a paved back yard. To be fair she fosters them for the cat defence league, and is down to about 6 now, but we no longer have birds visiting the garden and the amount of cat mess over the last few years. It's really pissed me off.
