Taking the two examples from XV277 it seems strange that in June 2005 the farm was a “sanctuary” and in June 2008 she’s a horse breeder with “pedigree black Arabian stallions”.
She viewed the farm back in 2000, brought it in spring 2001. So what was the place between 2001 and 2005? Surely she should have seen the risk in trying to set up the farm as a stud in those 4 years when she noticed the aircraft a few months after moving in.
In the later newspaper article she is quoted as saying “The only thing I have on my side is the truth.” So where are the repair bills for the premises because “Windows vibrated and masonry fell” and the hospital and vets bills for “she had been injured by a bolting or rearing horse, and the horses had also hurt themselves”.
To me this does not add up to anything but a grab for the taxpayers money.

I too have been injured by a frisky horse....I also have had a horse LIVING ON AN ACTIVE MILITARY STATION injured horrifically.... was nothing to do with planes though.....newsflash....that's horses! They are unpredictable flight animals and how on earth she could prove that 'a particular injury' was sustained solely due to FJ activity is questionable. Take all the jets away and cars and lorries and plastic bags ( loads of horses hate plastic bags!) and bird scarers and...and.... horses will still find something to spook at!

Compensation Lottery
It’s easy money.
Better odds than the national lottery.
If she loses the case, what has she lost? She’s representing herself, so not much.
If on the other hand she wins…. Kerching.
I'm just surprised, given there is nothing to lose:
a) Why it took her so long and
b) Why everyone else is having a go
As a dolphin breeder, based in Cornwall, I have had my fair share of troubles with the MoD. In fact Ms. Alyson King has inspired me…. I think I’ll have a go at the compensation lottery myself…. Fingers crossed for a sympathetic judge.
