A little research throws up that whilst the other riders were hunt members the accident happened on private land and not at an official hunt event. This being the case the antis seem to be capitalising on a tragic accident at what may be regular family activity. It is noticeable that most of the non local press that have jumped on this a calling it a hunt are well known for their left wing and snowflake views.

Witnesses are saying the horse may have been spooked by the horn, as the two coincided. So not the sabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily Mail = snowflake The local paper where it happened said it was not a hunt, and round our way the Sabs regularly use the horn to confuse/call off hounds on a trail. We have had Sab interference (shouting /obstruction/flags/horns) when some hunt members were on a charity ride, cross country with no hounds, for local young riders. The paper local to where it happened state it was not an official hunt event so may have been something similar. I repeat that it is conjecture, particularly as police are investigating what happened as stated in most reports, and details are sparse. I am not a hunt follower but have acquaintances that are.

bavarianbrit Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 If it was called drag tracking as it actually is then the antis can go whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'm in no way defending rabid antis but as we all know part of the problem is the hunts that flout the law and continue to hunt foxes with hounds under the guise of drag hunting. They do the shooting community no favours at all as we all get lumped in together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always there will be bad apples, same as when a bop is found or filmed being removed etc. The few put us all in a bad light. But that does not justify the comments left on that article.
