In shocking video footage, the furious rider screamed “get off my horse” and struck out wildly at the masked man as he tried to grab onto the reins
A woman on horseback appears to repeatedly whip a hunt saboteur with a riding crop after he tried to stop her “charging down” his fellow protesters in shocking footage.
In the video the furious rider screams “get off my horse ” and strikes out wildly at the masked man as he tries to grab onto the reins during an alleged clash with the East Sussex & Romney Marsh Hunt Club on Saturday.
Saboteurs claim she lashed him with her horse whip 17 times before charging at their group on marshland near the village of Pevensey.
But others commented that it looked as though the rider was protecting her horse after it was 'spooked' by protesters.
Footage of the ugly confrontation was later posted on the Brighton Hunt Saboteurs’ Facebook page and has been viewed more than 350,000 times.
It shows the woman riding towards the sabs, telling them to “get back to the road”.
She then appears to spur her horse into a man holding up a video camera, pushing him back several feet.
Another masked man rushes in front of the horse and takes hold of the bridle.
But the huntswoman flies into a rage, yelling “get off my horse, get off my horse” as she is seen whipping the man again and again.
He desperately tries to shield his face while still holding on to the horse, shouting: “Stop using it as a weapon.”
A hunt steward pushes him away and blasts: “Get off the f***ing horse. Don’t grab f***ing horses.”

Exactly what is the big deal? An armed woman defended herself against a horsejacker?
She deserves a medal.
In the USA what he did would be called “felonious restraint.”
My only wish was that her crop could have been bigger and more effective.
Good on her!
“And elsewhere in the News: a left wing MP has demanded sensible riding crop control laws....”
The write up of this incident is ridiculousy sympathetic to the thugs they call the “saboteurs”. In the video they were clearly forcing a conflict in hopes of getting propaganda points. But they jumped the shark in Hugh Mungus fashion.
Too bad it wasn’t a RN Cat - o - nine tails she used on him.
He deserves to be horsewhipped.
Again.
To whom is that a “shocking” video?
Nice work, lady.
Works for me. Now had the horse kicked the crap out of these assclowns, that’d be even better.
The UK is also in its last days of their magnanimous personal arms armistice - Brits have only a few days remaining to turn in ALL GUNS.
Dear God help our Brit brothers and sisters.
APPEARS ?
In the USA she might have exercised her RKBA (this case fire arm not necessarily riding crop) and laid the attacker down..:for good and good riddance .
I love a good Hippie Beatdown! ;)
He started it, she ended it?
Perfect.
Question?
She is swinging with her left arm.
Would a rider typically control the horse with the dominant hand?
I’ve hunted a couple of times. Somebody grabs my horse, they’d get the same treatment.
Just amazing that they just happened to have it recorded.
Hey,Folks, listen up. This was completely staged.
