Think I may have to. I’m going to just see if he shows some willingness to clear his shit off the land and my wife (a horsey person) is going to offer to help him rehome the horses which will give us a bit of an idea as to where we are. One of the main things is to basically remove and undo anything he’s done on my land and I’ll take some before and after pics too and in particular remove completely the gate he’s put on the access to my land and encourage him to do whatever he wishes to in order to secure his. lol forward to fencing his horses off my land and repairing the fence when they damage it!! Cheers for the advice

Just realised his ownership (well, technically his wife’s) has just ticked over to 8 years so it gives a little (well a lot) more leeway for us to show we are very much in possession of our own land and using it for our own purposes- my understanding is that 10 years is the minimum amount of time to be using land as your own essentially to make an adverse possession claim. That said I will still be smiling whilst remaining vigilant and record everything and - in a few months - tell him to put his front gate at the boundary of his own land, not mine
If I were you I would ensure your legal position is rock solid, keep smiling and accept that you will be paying for 130m of fencing. Document everything you do.
