I actually agree but it's a little trickier to do with 3.3 acres of land and a shared access. I've given no indication I'll be hanging about for him and have told him we need to and will get going even if he makes no effort to secure his horses. It isn't ideal but we could be waiting for months so it's better financially to spend £500 on a hot-wire to keep his horses off my land. I'll also be putting CCTV - nothing to do with him - at the entrance to my land and other spots, very strictly not in view of any of his land though.

I know this sounds OTT. But you should always secure your boarders as soon as you move somewhere. No one ever seems to, but day 1 is absolutely the easiest point to do it - "I just want to get everything sorted properly. I'm sure you understand."
Never assume you're dealing with people in good faith. Spend the money, get your shit locked down so you don't have to worry about it in the future.
