I think the problem is that a lot of city folks see any open area as a parkland. They don't understand the words "Private Property" in the same context as their homes and apartments.

The worse offenders are the riders of off road vehicles. No one wants their property torn up by those things. In some parts of the country, those ruts will be there for hundreds of years.

Not to mention the danger associated with driving those things pell mell through the desert. A couple of weeks ago, some people took their daughters out riding quads in the desert, and they rode into an old mine shaft. They fell about 400 foot down. One was killed and the other was severly injured. What were they thinking when they let little girls ride those things?

And now the law suits begin.

Do they even consider that they were trespassing? Everything in this world is owned by someone, be it an individual, a corporation, a government entity or tribe.

And as for letting people feed your animals, don't let them. Grass clippings and yard trimmings are not safe for animal consumption. One oleander leaf will kill a horse.

Sundance We live on 25 acres WAYYYYYYYYYYY back in the woods and come hunting season, its like its open property for hunters, we have private property and no trespassing signs out but guess they can't read.My dogs run free and I'm so afraid someone will shoot them and claim they thought it was a deer. they both wear orange collars but hunters are also blind i guess.

Please don't group all hunters together Most are respectful of property and not blind!!! You do get a few that have no regard for safety or property and those are the problem there not hunters just a pain to both other hunters for there bad behaviors and to the general public for accidents and trespassing!!! I don't go onto other peoples land UNLESS I have permission!!! I also hunt with dogs and would never shoot someones dog!!! Those hunters don't look before the shoot!!! just needed to vent hunters are getting a bad rap for a few idiots!!!!!!!!​

In this instance lizardz, i would have walked over to the kids, totaly ignoring thier dad and calmly explained to them how dangerous and unpredictable a horse can be and how impolite it is to enter someone elses private property without permission. Children would not have been insulted and they would have walked away form thier having learned a lesson.One that they themselves would be able to teach to thier dad.

I hear ya sundance. my land is in Pa and hunters don't ignore my signs, they tear 'em down. They use my tree stands, they pretty much do what they want and flat out have no respect for anothers property.I have taken portable tree stands off of my land (and sold 'em), i have taken down tree stands that people have built in my trees. I bought 21 acres to git away from these (*^%$'s and it only got worse.
I couldn't tell ya how many times i've had to climb down out of my tree stand and run some nitwit off that walks past my signs and then looks right at me and sets up shop right there in front of me.
I can't speak for other states, but Pa has got some seriously greedy and stupid people in the woods that claim to be "hunters".

My dad and uncle were hunting on land my elderly great uncle owned when they came across a couple of guys also hunting and when my dad asked who they were one of them said he was my great uncle! My dad told them he looked pretty good for a 85 year old man and told them to get the &%$* off the land. People can be so bold. We have also taken other peoples stands off our property, just the other day traced atv tracks to property 3 people over.

I used to board my horse in a pasture near my house. I was driving past the pasture one day, and there was a guy in the pasture with his small (maybe 5 year old) son, trying to put his son on the back of my Percheron/shire cross yearling! I stormed out there and asked him what the h*ll he thought he was doing? His reply? "Well we always see these horses out here and we figured they were rideable". Now, my yearling was not the typical yearling, he was HUGE, being the cross he is, he was already 1000 lbs and could have killed this man and his son in a heartbeat.(he wouldn't think of it, he is big and sweet, but this guy didn't know that) I asked him to leave and walked with him out of the pasture. When we got next to the road, I asked him for his car keys. He looked at me strange and said "What for?" I said I wanted to take his car for a ride, he said his car wasn't for sale and I told him "Neither is my horse, but that didn't stop you from trying to put your son on him".

I think he got the point. But it never ceases to amaze me how willing people are to kill their children.

"Asked him for his Keys",

I should of dumped all the horse manure of the fence & told him, "Well, you need to fertalize your lawn, So hear ya go"!
Or Send him the Vet bill when my horse got sick from eating crap they fed to them...It finally came down to one day my father was visiting & sitting on the back deck watching the horses & see's this man dumping his grass clippings over my fence & My dad is well, "A matter of fact" kinda man....lets just say No one comes & dumps anything anymore. Also we put up another privacy fence further back into the woods between my house & everyone elses. Its all good now..........I moved.:|

Eee - Just had to share this - I think it tops yours for stupidity!

A few years ago I was driving by a friend's farm, and I noticed a car pulled over by the side of the field where he keeps his in-foal mares. As I got closer, I see some guy taking videos, while his kids are inside the fence chasing the mares all over the place. He told me he sent the kids in there to chase the horses so he could get better pictures...

I could hardly speak, I was so amazed and appalled at the gall! Who would do that?

A fence is a fence. You could be liable for injuries because horses are an attractive nuisance. If it happens again, call the police because if your horse injured a child, you would probably beat yourself up about it for a long time.
