*** sab grabs loose horse running down busy B-road ***

They were found drawing for a fox near the old railway line near Honeybourne, but started moving to Weston Sub Edge. As a sab’ drove around to see where they were off to next a very large grey horse came running full pelt through the village of Weston Sub Edge on the rather busy road the B4632. The hazards were put on, the car left and the sab stood in front of the horse with their arms held out, hoping that the horse would stop and he (being a very nice horse who did not want to hurt anyone), stopped and allowed the sab to grab his reins.

Hunt supporters then arrived and he went back to the hunt. A loose horse bolting on a main road is obviously a huge danger to themselves and others and the sab’ was relieved that it ended with no one getting harmed. The car cam died today so regrettably no footage of the incident, but the important thing is that horse and road users are safe.

It was then back to Top Farm to escape hunt stalkers and keep an eye on them as they drew near the Lynches. When they came over towards Top Farm the stalkers came in to seek out the sab so the hunt could go into an unnamed covert. The hounds went around some hedgerows as the stalkers played music loud to both head any fox and to drown out hunting noises. They then went back up the hill and drew the very covert the sab had been in.

A small brown animal thought to be a fox (but was a muntjac deer) from a distance was seen running to the footpath. Ollie Dale pulled the hounds out and it is thought that they packed up at 15.30.
