    Hmmm, after a little digging-
    ''It is an offence to bury dead animals on-farm, except in accordance with a licence issued by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.''

    &

    The burial of animals that die on farm regardless of age is precluded unless the farmer has a burial licence issued by the local District Veterinary Office. Such licences can only be issued in respect of fallen animals in remote areas i.e. listed islands, boglands and mountains

    Hope that's of some use!

    Hi there
    Just moved to country and we have 1.5 acres. Farmer asked would we be interested in letting his horses on our land .
    Would love to see horses on field plus they would keep grass down if imagine.
    So, do I charge ? How much? Any precautions need to know about before I agree to it , thanks !
    N.

    I would think it's to small for horses. Whatever you decide to do, get an agreement drawn up stating clearly who is responsible for what. eg. Farmer responsible for fences, restoring field to its original state before returning it to you, rent and when it's payable, insurance, etc.
    Personally, I'd go for sheep!

    Reading that piece of legislation I suspect it relates to farm animals, not pets.

    Horses, donkeys etc are not classified as pets, they are farm animals. The premises that they are kept on must be registered with the Dept of Agri, even on a temporary basis - equine herd number. Individual animals must also registered (& now microchipped) with an approved Stud Book. You can no longer register a foal without an equine (herd) number.

    Stay miles away from horses, will destroy it.

    1 and a half acres is feck all, you'd be as well doing something with it that like planting vegetables or apple trees or something. It would be grazed off in no time if you let someone in. If you've moved to the country then give it a try working the land a bit and see how you go.

    Good idea, fill it with good quality fruit trees. Not those crap trees outta lid/supermarkets.

    And hens maybe.
