I live in Dorset and it sickens me to think this happens on my doorstep. Earlier this year I was driving down a quiet country lane when a quad came at speed down the road with a driver and passenger who was wearing a riding hat, followed by a cantering dickhead in the garb they wear. I am assuming they had lost a horse. He got the usual hand signal from me. You just have to hope the horse was un harmed. They act with such arrogance and self entitlement and clearly have no regard for the law.
Surely a candidate for a CPN with behaviour like that. And the huntsmen by enticing the council worker to a fight should have been arrested for behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace. The BSV are nothing more than a bunch of wildlife abusing thugs
I hope my County Council (Dorset) takes this up! The BVS should be prosecuted by them! Of course, we will need to get past hunting councillors first! This type of 'riding' IS distressing for the horses. Look at their body language, ears etc, they do not understand what the rider wants from them, yanking them round and round in small spaces and not of their own accord!
