A row over people using private land as a public right of way has led a concerned horse-owner to speak out.

Carole Wright, who has four ageing horses at her stable near Chigborough Lakes, Maldon, is calling for people to stop pulling her fence posts up.
Mrs Wright, 59, of Towers Road, Heybridge, claims people taking out their frustrations against the landowner, Ready Mix Concrete, could cause panic and distress to her animals.
The private land had been previously unfenced but the company, which allows anglers to use its lakes, recently restricted public use of areas surrounding them because two anglers died on a similar site it owns in Berkshire at Christmas.
