I agreed to allow someone to use the land for grazing in return for making boundaries secure and removing rubbish from the field, the land has been used for approx 5 years, no money has been exchanged, I have asked the occupant to start paying £10 a week, they have refused and now will not remove the horses & other items – tractor, trailer and hay. I have sent two letters recorded delivery and posted these and notices on field gate and given deadline but he has not removed them. How do I get him to remove the horses, can this be done without the use of costly solicitors fees?

I'm afraid you have got yourself into a sticky situation. Unless there was a contract set up which allows you to terminate the arrangement, you will have difficulty in removing the horses. The fact that no money changed hands has complicated it because it will seem as if you have granted the person grazing rights which are protected by ancient bye-laws. You need a solicitor.
