Was hoping for a lesson from those who might know how things used to be done. There was an episode of All Creatures Great and Small in earlier tonight set in 1951 where a horse was put down by vet with a shot
But the huntsman turned up on horseback beforehand with the hounds and blew the horn - what does this mean, what was the purpose? How historically accurate was it? There was no form of transport for the carcass in the scene and the shot took place indoors which I was always told should never happen.
Really appreciate if anybody knows how this used to be done and what this scene meant
