Most of my anger was and still is channeled at the morons who didn't do as we asked, I.e. Put your dog on a lead whilst you pass through approx- 300yards of our grounds. Sadly even today I requested that a mature man 50 ish put his dog on a lead. It was off the the track and running around the field, his response was, why should I. What happened next is between me and him.

I feel I must reply to the comment made above on the 14th January 2012 regarding the mature man 50 ish & the incident which occurred last Saturday afternoon. I am a close personal friend of the man involved & have walked with him & his dog on many occasions. He was walking along the Public right of way with his dog off the lead but not as stated by Mr Foy ‘off the track running around the field’. As a matter of fact there has been no livestock in these fields since late December. The gentleman in question has walked around this area most days for many years & has thankfully never had the misfortune to meet such an unpleasant man.

When challenged about the dog being off the lead he correctly pointed out that this is allowed on a PROW. He is fully conversant with the law with regard to this. Mr Foy became extremely agitated, shouting & even saying that ‘if he was to come back tomorrow he would set his dog’ on this placid family pet, ‘ripping it to shreds’. Obviously not the animal lover he portrays himself to be. This is also the same man who has the audacity to accuse others of owning dangerous dogs.
As the gentleman tried to walk away to avoid further confrontation Mr. Foy continued to shout & rant. My friend did suggest it might be a good idea for Mr. Foy ‘to go & lie down as he was in danger of suffering a heart attack’. Mr Foy retorted that ‘he was stressed out’ – he certainly appears to be just that!!!

I have also walked on this footpath on numerous occasions & have encountered 2 large dogs roaming loose. They obviously belong to RHFoy or visitors to his property, as when called, disappeared through the gate onto the drive of Spire Farm. Perhaps they are also the source of some of the dog mess!!!
I regret Mr. Foy that you may have conned other more gullible individuals into believing you are the ‘hard done to party’ when in reality you are a bully & a control freak.
