The only way I would deal with horsey women is with cash up front. Not sure how you would make your business idea work?so maybe create a network of pay to use horse hacking routes ? sound like demand exists

I did that 40 years ago but that was Berkshire, ATM there are very few hackers, most people have their own land around hereso maybe create a network of pay to use horse hacking routes ? sound like demand exists

She’s become a trespasser, so you can use any reasonable and necessary means to stop her.Hi, We have a new person in our village, who has horses and is the only person with horses for many miles around. They had previously been told not ride on the Footpaths as they are not Bridleways. They have ignored the express wishes and says the marks are from other horses, which they are definitely not. They have now said that there is nowhere to ride, the Bridlepath being a 3/4 mile hack away and that they must use them. I feel her issue is probably due to her assumption it is the county and there will lots of hacking and it's easy to just go anywhere, other landowners have said no to hacking as well. What lengths of law can be used, there are may elderly dog walkers and simply not enough room for horse and rider and dog walker to walk or pass safely.
How do you police it?cash up front - we have a menage that people hat don't keep horse with us rent use of for £25/hr ........ cash up front
don't see why you couldn't do the same with hacking tracks - annual permit of PAYG ?
How do you police it?
Honesty and horses.people are generally honest
but you spot check now and again or give keys / combination locks to gates maybe -? i'm sure its possible given thought
Get them to drive and park trailer/lorry in your yard where the tracks could all start/end. No need for them to use the footpath then and they bring money direct to you rather than trust them to pay up.How do you police it?
Under no circumstances encourage any extra access onto any land you have control over , it’s the thin end of the wedge .
Get one of those gates-within-a-gate. Leave the smaller gate unlocked so pedestrians, dogs, etc can get through, but padlock the larger gate. Our RoW Officer provided the gates for us (and I think they installed them as well).Great idea - thank you, we need to be able to mow still, but a 4ft 6 pole would stop all but the most keen.
But I thought the OP wanted to be able to get machinery in ?Just put up few posts at the entrance as a "baffle" that walkers can negotiate but horses can't.
Not if you own the land that the foot path has a right of way over, you can even drive down or over it.It is against the law to ride or lead a horse along a Footpath.
Or you could just let the lady ride her horse about the locality, can’t really envisage one local being problem.
