Sex therapist calls police over 'intimidating' horse

Lady Pea Ramshaw, who lives at the Old House in Ranworth, is locked in a bitter feud over the period property with its owners, the Cator family.

In the latest development, a number of trees have been felled close to its boundary and a horse has been placed in a neighbouring field.

Lady Pea, as she styles herself, said she believes this to have been a deliberate attempt to "intimidate" her two mares - Bea and Bebe - who she keeps on the adjacent land.

She has reported the incident to police.

In an official incident report sent to Norfolk Constabulary, she wrote: "This is harassment."

"The only trees that have been removed are the ones next to the field my horses are in - and the gelding suddenly appeared on the same day," she said.

"It can't be a coincidence and it puts the safety of my horses at risk.

"I think they are trying to make me leave."

She said the horse was constantly calling out to her mares and does so throughout the night.

It is not clear who is responsible for the clearance work, or who owns the animal in question.

The Cators have declined to comment.

Lady Pea has also raised concerns about the removal of the trees with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust and Broadland Council.

The extraordinary saga began in November 2021, when Lady Pea began renting the property from the Cator family.

But the tenancy has proven far from harmonious, with much of the disagreement centring around animals being kept on the land.

Lady Pea keeps four dogs, sheep, pigs, horses, ducks, hens and geese - with the parties at odds over how many animals she had permission to keep.

The sex therapist is also seeking a refund of more than £40,000 in rent a £10,000 electricity bill racked up due to the property lacking central heating.
