When I went horse back riding in Vermont a few years ago the ranch, we were on had a herd or horses the owner knew roughly their location but not exactly, the only fence we saw was against the barns and the local gravel road, otherwise they went where they liked, as we rode round the property a few of the big houses in the woods had fenced to stop them coming on but that was it. Equally even when riding in the trees she knew exactly the line of her property boundary.McFarmer wrote:It's interesting over here. Every state has their own laws.
In Iowa on a boundary fence you have the right half, neighbor has the other half, livestock or not.
Many western states have "open range" where the owner has no responsibility. If you don't want them in your property, you fence them out.
If the state doesn't want them on the road, they fence them off.

It was quite amazing to ride out of the tree line and come across this massive herd of horses grazing in the grassland.
In Arizona a few years later the paddocks were all fenced and we just rode in the desert and hills.

Yes, I know, and with the outside tyre to the port main undercarriage no doubt. But then I am aware of the Norwegian MTB skipper in the 1960s who managed to demolish a cow with his boat. The cow was wading at the time. The boat remained operational, but in need of repair.Flintstone wrote:McFarmer wrote:In most western states if you hit a cow its your fault, no matter where.
Hitting them on the head is usually kindest.
