Video at the source. The article doesn't make the point, but the "protestor" was grabbing the horse by the bridle. Not a horse person, but I'd consider that an attack on me and my horse, and react accordingly. The "protestor" should be arrested for assault.
Most states in the US have laws about harassing hunters. And wildlife. And domestic animals, like horses.
Looks like the hunt protester assaulted her by grabbing the horse’s bridle. Very dangerous for all concerned.
I think the charges should be against the protester.

Agree completely.
Is this another version of those tiny boats that block the gigantic Japanese whaling ships from entering the whale’s domain? If so, the ‘saboteur’ got what was coming to him.
You lay down on the tracks, you’re going to get run over!
This moron endangered the life of the rider by pulling this stunt. Horses are easily startled if not trained for such and the hunt environment is fraught with hazards. If the horse had reared, the rider could very easily have been killed or permanently disabled.
They deserve to be shot.
You ride a horse and get to whip on liberals?
Where can I sign up for that?
Dress and act like a creepy rapist/stalker, and then the predictable happens.
Auditioning for a Darwin award.
it’s really all about them just plain hating the class of people who participate in these hunts. It’s no mystery that Lenin evolved in England.
But the rider kept excellent control of the horse through all of that.
Absolutely.
That was my first thought, too.
You are correct, here in there are laws. In any case a masked person grabs my horses bridle they will at the very least get a firm smack down. Since it is the UK who knows.
And at that point, deserved everything he got and more. Cut down with a saber would have been fine with me.
I hope this story about the “hunting saboteur” lashing is true. I thought the vegan deserved more, but that’s just me.

The hunters should have long hence “double subcontracted” individuals to ‘interfere’ with the “protesters”.
This means that they “hire someone who hires someone”.
It is all carefully orchestrated. Once the protesters cross the line, the bully boys launch into them, quickly injuring them then leaving the area with some haste before the constabulary arrive.
Do that a few, random times, putting the protesters in hospital for a month or two, and a lot of this nonsense will go away.
Too bad she was not riding a trained Lipizzaner.
She could have had the horse kick him to death.
That sounds like a new fad!..................
