horses on land
someone has left some horses on this guys land, we got a process server to put notices up on the gates saying that they must be removed and he wants possession of his land within 14 days.
horses are still there, they don't look uncared for so the charities aren't bothered about coming to get them
any idea on the proper procedure to get rid of them?

Should the owner seek recompense, in Court or elsewhere you must pay. Only pay difference after exes, ie grazing/transport/staff (handling etc). Owner may find he owes field owner?

thanks terambulan. "14d" warning? would this have any specific content? I think we just kept it quite general i.e. remove these horses within 14 days as owner requires possession of land.
is there any legal basis for removal and sale of horses that we can rely on if an aggrieved owner turns up?
we were told that x who is "a pikey" and who may be violent from the sound of the nickname COULD be the owner of the horses. Our process server is making further enquiries at the moment but if he is the owner and if he refuses to remove them, then presumably the owner of the land should find someone brave to serve him with another warning and then could remove and sell the horses if no compliance?
thanks- any help would be appreciated.

ethel - LOL- seems a bit mean - although my suggestion was that they put up a notice saying that the gate would be removed in 14 days and then remove gate and inform the environmental health people that they were loose and a nuisance!
thing is, the owner of land wants to do it properly and not endanger the horses.

and then phone rspca as being abandoned - sounds like a plan - i don't get paid enough to chase ponies round a dirty field!
i just wondered if there was a possession/trespass action we could use for a court order that if the horses are not removed, then we could remove/sell them/get a charity to pick them up.

cheers terambulan
owner really wants a court order to give him proper authority if aggrieved owner come calling and am not quite sure how to phrase an application whether it be a possession action claim against persons unknown (the owners obviously not the horses!) or a claim for trespass on a normal claim form
