Merry If they are resposible horse owners then they should have some form of Equine Insuance.....Which in my long ago day when working with horses....Included an element of Public Liability Insurance. So maybe you could claim of their insurance? Chris

Anyway, any saved money went today..................When we got back from our last holiday on Wednesday there was a new foal (born on Wednesday) in the field next to our house. On Wed evening the foal came over to our horse-proof fence and came right through between the horizontal bars!! (the fence is only proofed for full sized horses! No one told us there was going to be a new arrival!) So, the mother and another horse got all agitated and we ended up with one very broken fence and the OK Corral in our back garden!!! It was quite scarey! So, donations please.....it cost us £300 almost! The horse owners say they will contribute, but I'm not holding my breath! Merry
