Compound Al Ashmakh next to farm with Horses

Have you been to the famous Beverly Hill compound of Al Ashmakh, advertised in all newspapers and classifieds?
People looking for a villa or appartment for sure they passed from this compound and for sure they are very happy to book one.But nobody till now saw the farm with horses next to the compound at the end? The smell is terrible, and it will be worse during the hot season, starting from next month!!!!It is funny but the farm is attached to this famous compound and the agents of AL ASMAKH are hiding this in a very good way, since they have a sample villa or appartment, so you cannot realise what is happening.

Horses smell gorgeous! I'd love to next door to horses! Is this the Al Rayyan Beverley Hills, the new one?

Obviously the PERSON looking after the farm and horses is not doing what they SHOULD be doing if the smell is as terrible as you say.

It is certainly not the fault of the compound, or the horses for that matter. It's the fault of the owner of the farm that should be taught how to take care of his animals. Personally I do not find the smell of horses offensive in any way. They are herbivores, and therefore if kept clean there should be no 'bad' smell. Or maybe you are just too sensitive.

Sadly this attitude (both yours and the owners) are so common place here in qatar.............and guess what happens in the end? the poor animals suffer because of the sheer lack of human morality............. If it's not complaining about farms and horses, it complaining about the dog next door! Which ends up in the compound changing its rules, and dog owners facing eviction or having to abandon their animals! Do you think that is fair?

Why not bring it up with Al Asmakh, and have them talk to the farm owner?

In the west, there a ZONING laws to prevent these exact scenarios.
