We love a happy ending!
We also herewith award the random horse catcher with appropriate honors:
"For conspicuous jackassery and stupidity in a public place, by trespassing on private lands and interference with a hunt, Random Limey Jackass is herewith awarded the FAFO Medal (non-fatal class), for learning a lesson about jumping horses and gravity which could be learned in no better way. Well done, you stupid bastard. Hopefully next time, the dogs will attack you too."
Nothing like turning your back on someone who wants to jump the fence with a horse. And then being oblivious to the sound of galloping.
ReplyDeleteGlorious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Those hunt sabs are AWFUL. And LE won't do anything about them. One grabbed a bridle a few years ago, and the rider used her crop to beat the person away from her horse. And the law went after the rider, not the azzhole that assaulted and tried to capsize her horse. Some more trampling would be great.
ReplyDeleteThe video contained a "warning" that "some images may be disturbing"; didn't see anything remotely so. I did see " heartwarming" though.

Well done to the huntmaster. The only way to get the stupid jackasses to quit this shit is to teach them it's not safe to do this shit. Apologies to all the actual jackasses who serve a useful purpose in life.
ReplyDeleteThat there is a good demonstration for why cavalry existed for so long, despite the fact that horses are expensive, delicate, unpredictable, and require loads of maintenance and training to be useful on the battlefield.
ReplyDelete-Grey Fox
Traditional fox hunting was banned in England
ReplyDeleteand Wales in 2005, and was already illegal in Scotland, so unless the hunt is breaking the law; unlikely as penalties are stiff and public sentiment not for hunting, then they're chasing an artificial scent dragged earlier, and it is merely an opportunity to gallop over farmland with a pack of dogs.....so the hunt saboteurs really are in need of a good thrashing for interfering with someone else's harmless pastime.
Not for nothing, but repeatedly pressing the number 6 on your keyboard as the video is playing is quite entertaining.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's how you win at fox hunting. I have heard, though, that you can turn a dog into a fox. Typically takes about four drinks.
ReplyDeleteSo,”saboteur” is that stuff cleaned out of the horse’s hooves,apparently.
ReplyDeleteDiving into the place where the horse is going to land ain't cool. It looks like the horse didn't even see or notice the intruder. I was entertained by how the dogs that also ignored the human. Well trained. It was the wrong scent, so they ignored the pile of clothing.
ReplyDeleteSucks...lol
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the horse didn't hurt his foot from landing on that pile of ick!
ReplyDeletePoor horse has, having a good run about with rider (not like that's all that easy). For a couple hours, and some idiot gets in the way when Rider wants me to jump the fence.
Whelp... Try not to land on them, but O well... then again:
Horse thinking "Dude, I got some delicate stuff in these legs! I break one, I'm dead!
