Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | My neighbors, who were not awake at that time of night, called the cops on me. Saturday morning, before I left to deliver that colt, the police were knocking on my door. He was very rude to me and told me that my neighbor wanted to file charges on me because my horses tore up two of their yards. I proceeded to tell him that it wasn't my horses and that another deputy from his office was here with me that night (for 4 hours) trying to catch the horses and keep them off of the road. We, also, walked them about a mile down the road to the owner's house after we found out who they belonged. He pretty much acted like I was lying and kept telling me to do something to keep my horses in. I finally just stopped him and said for him to go check back with his other deputies and to check the 911 tapes for proof that it was not my horses. He even told me there were different ages of poop in the neighbors yard...smh. I wanted to pound my head into a brick wall by the time he left with "friendly advise" that I buy an electric charger to keep my horses on my property. I haven't had a chance to speak with my neighbors yet and I hope that I can maintain my cool when I tell them the next time they call the cops on me to make sure it's actually me that they should be calling the cops on.  ok, I feel better now lol.

He said the neighbor complained that his riding lawn mower ran over divits in his hard and that bothered him and, also, that his lawn mower tire ran over a pile of horse poop and it really stunk. All I could do was stare at him blankly...... |

Apparently, enough to call the cops over lol.
I can just hear that conversation, "um, yeah, I've got horse poop on my lawn mower tire and I'd like to file charges for that." |

Location: In Ky following Barrel Races & Walker hounds. | Had the same thing happen with animal control one time. An officer knocked on our door waking me up when I still lived with mom and dad, telling me my dogs had killed a bunch of chickens. I ask what dog.. They said a beagle and a lab. We didnt own a lab at the time, but did own a beagle. I told him we didn't have a lab, and pointed him in the way of the people near us who did, and that I was pretty sure our beagle wasn't gone, and that he was raised around chickens and never bothered them, but if he had a reason to think he was in on it to have the guy bring us a bill for half of the chickens. The officer went to the other house and come back about an hour later apologizing because when he pulled up in the people who owned the labs yard, they had packed some of the dead chickens home and they also had a hound cross dog that the chicken owner thought was a beagle.
Hopefully you get this cleared up, if they get out again I would take pics and/or video so you can show that it wasn't your horses, stuff like this is such a pain! |

It is irritating that the owner didn't go talk to my neighbor's. She saw they had tracked the yard up. I told the cop that one of them needed to go talk to my neighbors because I knew they'd say something....I just knew it. So, not only did the deputy not tell the neighbors, he, also, didn't tell his fellow officers either (I guess). I spent 4 hours in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, fighting with the one I caught who was in constant motion, trying to paw me, while I was throwing sticks at the stallion that was trying to fight my yearlings through the fence (he was insane, wild and mean). Then, I walked the pawer home (about a mile away) because her owner was too scared of her.
It's just irritating that I get the cops called on me. I want to throw rotten eggs at someone's house now.....give them a good reason to call the cops. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | My neighbors think I'm the only one around here with horses. I have one neighbor who lives back in the woods. He keeps a grade stud on a rope in his yard. This stud gets loose about once every three or four months. Every time he gets loose, I get someone knocking on my door telling me my horse is loose. Last time it happened I guess I either didn't answer the door because I was asleep or someone just thought they were bein helpful and put this grade stud in the back... with my cow bred mare. My husband got home from work and woke me up telling me the bad news. I'd rather have had the sheriff's office called on me!
I'm so sorry that happened to you and the guy was rude. Some people are just plain ignorant. |

You have a good point lol....I would have crapped my pants if I had woken up to find that little paint, welch, terrorist stallion in with my two year old filly! Fortunately, I am the only person that can actually catch a horse around there....and that includes the other owner of the horses......lol...I tried to hand her the lead rope of her horse and she put her hands up and said, "oh no, I can't take her. I'm scared of her." I'm like, "she's your best horse, sure she paws, but she's the only one you can actually catch." lol |

Location: North Dakota | I had a neighbor like that before I moved to Dallas. He called the police more than once on us. We had a tree removed from our front yard and the tree removal company backed up a little to close to his yard and barely edged it with the back tires of the truck. It didn't do much just maybe a few inchs of grass was dented in. He called the police to deliver us a bill to have a lawn service company come repair the dents. New Years eve we set off one pack of fireworks because it is also my daughters birthday, he called the cops. I rode my children on the 4-wheeler down the street to their friends house and he called the police that I was riding in the road. We had friends over to grill and my children brought the radio out to play music, he called the police. We never got in trouble but it was annoying so we avoided doing anything at home eventually. Thank God we moved! |

What a crap head! I can't believe people sometimes. Some people have nothing better to do than to look for stuff to complain about. I swear, if those horses get out again, I'm going knock on my neighbors door so he can see first hand who's horses they are. I'm sure he'll call the cops because I woke him up in the middle of the night.......but, I don't care now lol. |

When the cops show up, just say, "not mine, all of mine are present and accounted for." Then just let HIM deal with it.

Sadly, they have no halters or lead ropes, so I'd end up losing all my crap lol. The lady showed up with no halters, no lead ropes and no feed. I had to supply all of the above. I should send her a bill lol. |

If the strays owner has no feed, I bet those lil darlins would love it if you sprinkled a bag of cheap sweet feed all over the lawn next door, they may even spend the whole night pawing and pooping. I would keep a spare bag handy for the next time they get out, then sit back with your popcorn and watch, lol. |
