Huntsman Haddock falls into water-filled rhyne whilst whipping fallen horse. The awful incident was captured on our sab drone on 19th Nov and Haddock has not been seen out since. We hope the horse was okay. Please watch and subscribe to our YouTube channel. Thanks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izla...

A moment of absolute chaos at the Mendip Farmers joint meet in Devon yesterday, as the hunt desperately tried to get hounds onto a fox seen minutes earlier. Sabs were driven into and kicked, and all because the hunt were denied a kill. Truly pathetic. (1/2) youtu.be/24yEmPQrHF0

All their field riders packed up and we left a very sad Pearson sat on a quad in a farmyard and zoomed off to the nearby Blackmore & Sparkford Vale Hunt. Fortunately, they also packed up shortly after we got there.
