Apart from the horse abuse. I wonder if this is another hunt that is now actually trail hunting, or one of those hunts that does trail hunting when being viewed. I was only aware of a handful that actually trail hunted but I'm wondering if more are going to go over to it this season.

I think it’s when they are constantly monitored they have to trail or at least try too now. Many police forces around the country have spoken to the hunts and warned that no proven trails as in filmed and documented leaves them without a leg to stand on if they kill.

Interesting a hunt was ordered back to kennels yesterday as the police believed it was illegal hunting when they observed them….but then you get the Eggsford Hunt dragging a dead fox from a quad to “lay” a trail, revolting.

We have one trailing, another for last few outings attempting to trail it’s a work in progres.

trail hunting does indeed seem to be on the rise. I'm still scratching my head wondering why you'd buy legal fees insurance for the hunting act if you were legally hunting and I really want to know if drag hunts have that insurance

This is horrible. A man taking lessons where I kept my horse fell off when the horse stopped at a jump. He stood up and punched the horse in the head. He was told in no uncertain terms to leave and never come back.
