I took my dog for a lovely walk yesterday to the country park, opposite my house. We go over there every day, sometimes twice a day.
There are lots of bridleways as well as footpaths. We often come across horse riders as there are a few livery yards and a riding school around the area.
Living opposite the park is lovely, it's the main reason we chose our house. However, we have had anti social behaviour in the past. Mainly underage drinking, fireworks at 2am, fires being lit and the worst being dirt bikes! The council and local police have been really good at virtually eradicated they problems. The have replaced fencing to secure the park to prevent access with motorbikes and other vehicles.
Some of the bridle paths have old railway sleepers at the entrances to make steps that are ok for horses but not vehicles.
One of these bridleways is next to a large field belonging to a livery yard. The field is mainly grazed by the horses in the Winter. It's surrounded by barbed wire with another run of electrified wire fence inside it. I discovered on my walk yesterday that some idiots have managed to pick up one of the huge sleepers from where it was wedged in as a step and throw it onto the fencing, thus bringing it all down!
Luckily there were no horses in the field. If there were any in that field, they could well have escaped or been very injured on the barbed wire!
I just don't understand why someone would do that! The area isn't even near any roads. It must have been a group as there's no way that one person alone could have lifted a sleeper and thrown it that far!
What the hell were they thinking?
Just makes my blood boil!
