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.
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.
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.
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.
This guy was an Englishmen, right? I thought that they paid big money to be whipped by a woman?
Too bad she didn’t have a saber.
If that POS laid a hand on my horse on my land I’d shoot him. And in Wyoming the only thing law enforcement would do about it is haul off the corpse and comment on my grouping.
Well, there are a lot of places where a "masked man" grabbing at a fella would get drilled for sure.... I say the guy's lucky a horse whipping was all he got....
Looks liked the “saboteurs” were intentionally provoking trouble in hopes of capturing a response on video they could use as propaganda.
D@mn busybodies. Stick their nose where it doesn’t belong, and are surprised when they get punched. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. The fox hunters NEVER kill their quarry.(To my knowledge). They want the foxes alive to be able to chase them another day. At least it’s that way here in the States.
I’m just here to steal a Pat Neal - Gary Cooper gif.
“I didn’t think it mattered...or did it, Miss Francon?”
Too bad she didn’t use her gun.
After all, being whipped is SO humiliating!
Good for her! They need to be beat down.
I’m reminded of the fox hunt scene from the 3rd, “Omen,” movie “The Final Conflict.”
