Input: I live on a private lane with 5 houses, the one directly across from me just sold to a young couple with smaller (6 to 10 years old maybe) children. My property totals 10 acres split into 3 fields with a pond, a rather deep creek during the wet season, a dilapidated barn and a newer livestock barn. Also 6 horses and two giant breed dogs not accustomed to children. A kid's delight for a playground, a liability nightmare for me.

They are just in the process of moving in and so far they've been letting the kids just kinda run wild. They haven't made their way into my fields yet but I've seen them taunting another neighbor's dog and hanging on my fence so it's probably just a matter of time. I'm wanting to go over and introduce myself, do the whole polite welcome to the lane bit and ask them to please not allow their children to climb on my fence or enter my property. My boyfriend tells me this is rude and kind of a dick move and if I do that I'm not being very "neighborly" or "welcoming".

I see this as a safety issue. In addition to the pond, the creek and all the rusty old farm equipment in the barn I've got 2 horses that were late-gelded breeding stallions and can be aggressive if not handled properly plus with this being spring the mares are coming in season which escalates their behavior. Pasture squabbles break out, especially if the horses are competing for human attention or think treats are involved. A hoof to the head can be deadly for an adult let alone a child. In my state horses are considered an attractive nuisance same as a swimming pool. I am appropriately insured as are my animals, my fences are secure, my property is posted, my gates are locked. Fences are easily climbed though and signs have been known to be ignored.

With all that considered, I'd rather look like an asshole to these people than take a chance on their kids getting hurt or worse. My boyfriend thinks I should just trust them to be respectful of the fences and signage until they give us reason to believe otherwise. I'm rather apprehensive about this approach and of course would be very polite entering a discussion with them about this.

So, WIBTA if I went over to them, said her welcome to the neighborhood so glad to have you here and btw please don't allow your kids in my fields for their own safety? I'd find a better way to say it to them obviously.

asking my new neighbors to keep their kids out of my fields even though it hasn't been an issue yet
