I live on a housing estate where there a number of issues arising out of the keeping of horses. I will be posting about these issues at a later time but have a more focused question with which I would appreciate AAM members' advice and opinions.
The estate is made up of semi-detached houses. In addition, a number of streets are back-to-back, i.e. the back garden of one house meets the back garden of another house.
One resident of a semi-detached house was keeping a horse in their back garden. (The horse is elsewhere at the moment but may be brought back).
I have a number of questions on this.
Is it legal to keep a horse in your back garden?
Is there specific legislation which applies to the care of domestic pets (cats, dogs, budgies etc).
Are horses considered under different legislation to domestic pets?
What grounds might a neighbour have to object to horses being kept in their neighbours garden?
Thanks in advance for your help.
