only 200 pink flamingos?
2000 would still get lost on that parcel…[/QUOTE]
Arent we talking about a relatively short section of fence line?? I was thinking 1 flamingo every 10" for a distance of 200’. I wouldn’t want my neighbors to think it was payback or anything, just proofing the horses. 
His board is actually average or on the lower end for the Hamptons. Comparable barns are over $3000 for the month. It’s more expensive in the summer months because that’s when the majority of the people board out there while living at their summer homes. So most Hamptons barns charge more to make up the difference from the small amount of people boarding in the winter months, or just because they can because stalls are in high demand. Some barns completely close down their Hamptons location in the the winter, and just have a barn in Wellington for those months.

a pair is tacky, a thousand is ART! 
While I think that trees would just make the fence line spooky I am not sure why his neighbors care so much about viewing his property to sue.
I learn something new every day. There are rules about planting trees on an acreage that large…wow! I never imagined.
Add that someone is willing to sue over that rule makes it even more shocking.

Not abnormal for the area.
And, if I were Mr. Lauer, I would arrange voyeur parties of riders who can hack out, and check to watch the pool activity. Nothin like a two way view. Oh and when an affair is scheduled there , time to schedule lots of riders, and hope for dust.
what a beautiful property!
Yes it is a beautiful property and how dare he not continue to maintain it to their expectations.
Off to weed whack to I keep my property up to the neighbor’s standards.
O.M.G that is a lovely spot!! And I imagine there are plenty in Matt’s world who are able to fork over that kind of dough :).
That property is absolutely gorgeous. Ugh, I need to win the lottery. :yes:

I’m not sure winning the lottery would cover the costs of that place…:lol:
[QUOTE=HungarianHippo;8250136]
Build a fence or buy more land-- those are your choices. So freaking idiotic to think that you have a right to control what your neighbor does with their property (as long as they’re within legal bounds of zoning, HOA, etc.) [/QUOTE]

The article CLEARLY, UNAMBIGUOUSLY states that he is not allowed to plant trees according to zoning restrictions. Sorry to call you two out, but read before commenting for heaven’s sake. This isn’t a 22 page thread, and if you read the FIRST post and the link, you would have known this.
Honestly, I think his argument is ridiculous, and obviously his neighbors are in the right. After all, a horse isn’t going to spook and run TOWARDS the scary thing, so they aren’t falling into anyone’s pool. Trees will only block the horses’ vision and make a sudden noise MORE scary. Methinks Mr. Lauer doesn’t want to see his neighbors, while his HOA or zoning agreement says TFB, unobstructed views were guaranteed.
Sorry if I am being unnecessarily bitchy, but people who comment when they clearly haven’t bothered to figure out what’s going on grind my gears. :sigh:
Only one pool is even remotely close to the bridle path. So uber rich people actually use their pools for wild, diving, splashin’, screamin’ parties? Maybe he should by the adjoining properties and then lease/rent them to boarders!

Not even “that large” - friends looked at small acreage - 10ac - with a HOA that specified not only the kinds of trees they could plant. but the girth of said trees < had to be 3" diameter, so no saplings allowed, TYVM.
One more reason I will never be HOA material.
Do these HOA’s ever think through these rules? Trees have a lifespan. Planting young trees and harvesting older ones is good management. You can move mature trees but it is hard to replace that way but I guess if you are in a exclusive area you just keep trying until it works and don’t worry about the money…
And I thought he was petitioning to go against the contract. So I don’t think it is a given he will lose. I think it is a pi$$ing match.
I suspect this particular neighbor wants or wanted the acreage for himself.
I think I would choose to use the manure spreader over in that area…
Probably rules on that too! Probably have to fertilize with landscapers even though they have a plenty of fertilizer right there!

Since I see lessons are extra, I assume full board doesn’t include any training?

I would assume so. I think by “full board” they mean the stall, feeding, mucking, etc in contrast to “dry stall” where you get the stall and nothing else.
