A very long day with our pals from Pewsey and Southampton at the Tedworth Hunt who we thought could do with another visit after hospitalising a sab last week. it certainly wasn’t an isolated incident as some riders were showing signs of losing the plot completely due to our presence and the whole hunt acted feisty all day and even asked which sab wanted the air ambulance called for them today… charming. We had our vehicle navigator arrested for refusing to give details to the police but thankfully they saw how stupid they really are and released him a few hours later.
Still, we were there to sab and that’s exactly what we did. We were on foot for the majority of the day and glued to the hunt. Whenever hounds went in cry we were on hand to call them away and they responded to us well and we were able to pull them off multiple scents. We lost the scum for about an hour and finally caught up with them again as they looked like they were heading for home. We got out on foot and decided to follow and it’s a good job we did. Hounds started picking up and a fox bolted literally feet away from them. We leapt into action, rating the hounds and eventually pulled the entire pack away leaving the fox get away to safety. Amazing way to end the day. They boxed up soon after much to our delight.
