Neighbors Horse Destroying Fence

It is my fence. I have proof of maintenance and upkeep therefore based on legal advice I have been told in the past, it is my fence.

Electrified part of it today, his horses will get a ‘shock’ this evening if they try to lean on it to get to the grass on my side which they have been doing. The cribbing area I can’t electrify because of its location.[/QUOTE]

Proof of maintenance does not guarantee it is your fence, a survey of the land is what says if the fence is on your property or not. This is why sharing a fence line is generally not a good idea.

Anyway, solar powered hot wire, no reason you can’t do it all over. Good luck. And I’d suggest getting the deed or a survey done of your land.

Two surveys have been done since we have lived here (property next to us has been sold twice) and both times the fence was on our property, totally on our property. As per a lawyer, where I live that is enough, it is my fence. The maintenance records I just keep as a back up.

I had to run a hot wire on most of the fence and the small section that cannot be hot wired, we have changed the top rail so that it is no longer inviting for cribbing. So far so good.

Good update Bopper!
