A huntswoman who repeatedly whipped a man with her riding crop after he grabbed the reins of her horse will not be charged by police.
Jane Miller, 56, was filmed having a furious clash with anti-hunt activists while out riding in Herstmonceux, East Sussex in November.
Footage captured her striking a man around the head and face 17 times with her whip, while screaming 'get off my horse'.
However, Ms Miller has avoided punishment after Sussex Police said they would not be proceeding with the investigation.
The hunstwoman is the wife of Richard Goring, whose family founded the five-star Goring Hotel in Belgravia, London.
She later told her husband she had been 'terrified' by the incident.
But since the clash, more footage has emerged of Ms Miller involved in a previous confrontation at an earlier hunt.
Mr Goring was shown trying to restrain his wife as she screamed at activists: 'F****** terrorists... You peasanty stupid f****** idiots!'
Last night South Coast Hunt Saboteurs said they had lodged a formal complaint with Sussex Police for their failure to proceed with the case.
A spokesman said: 'The prolonged assault was captured on four video recordings from different angles and five witnesses came forward to make statements. The reason Sussex Police dropped the case? ''Insufficient evidence''.
'Every week we experience threats, intimidation and often actual violence from the hunts and every week we read reports on social media of increasingly frequent and serious attacks on hunts sabs and monitors.

Whipping Hippies.
There’s my new job.
She must have trained “under” Huma & Cankles...
Sounds like the “activist”/sabateur was acting like a horse thief.
Horse thieves should be horse whipped.
In the old days they were hung.
The guy is lucky he didn’t try this in Texas. He’d be coyote bait.
Should have trampled him with her horse.
I must admit, I have no freaking clue as to what is going on in that video, but the beat-down only made me think she might benefit from adding a few ounces of lead in the end of that crop. It’s a shame they edited out the swearing, it looked epic.
If the horse bucked her off in panic over this man’s actions, she could have been seriously injured or killed. Self defense.
I like that. They are getting what they deserve!
Need to train the horses to paw and kick like the knights of old did.
Just remember that self defense is not a God given right in Great Britain.
It was self-defense.
Using hippies to draw in coyotes.
That’s what you call a Win/Win Situation.
Being from Wyoming and living in Utah now, I take the woman’s side of this. This was self-defense. Don’t want to get smacked? Don’t run up and start grabbing on somebody’s horse. That horse is big and strong and could really hurt somebody.
These ‘saboteur’ whiners are lucky they didn’t get frontier-justice, and I’d be playing the world’s smallest violin for that.
I like it!
Look like AntiFa, or AntiFa allies. And that just put a smile on my face.
All: DO NOT MISS the full video.
The cops made the same call, I’m satisfied with that.
Yes, I remember when this story came out - it’s despicable and dangerous to interfere with someone’s horse.
I don’t understand what these nuts are trying to accomplish. As far as I know hunting live quarry was outlawed a number of years ago. Now they lay a scent for the hounds to follow, no real foxes involved.
