Pulling the bridle causes the horse pain, damaging its teeth & mouth. The horse might now need 'trust' training. The man deserved whipping.

Agree Baz.
Terrorist s . OK. :-)
as one that was arrested for disrupting a hunt many years ago, I would never have grabbed at the horse's reins, anyone who does so is not aware of the damage a spooked horse can cause, and the damage it would also do to the horse's mouth. They were not fox hunting either but trailing I think it is called. Had the sab had a bit more savvy then none of this would have happened. Badly organised by the sabs who assumed wrongly it was a hunt. I don't think either party is likey to be charged as there was fault on both sides for the ensuing meleé. I think she used what would considered reasonable force to try and get him to release her mount although charging was not really clever
One thing puzzles me. Why on earth did the saboteur continue to hold the reins after the first and subsequent blows?
cos he was a plonker !
It makes me so angry to see some of you hay-making about a perceived 'type of person' that you want to bash. This was drag hunting, as legal as country rambling, has nothing to with foxes. Saboteurs should not even have been there but some of you stick up for them - ignoring the facts, ignoring that he was grabbing on to the horse and would not let go - because you don't like those you assume to be better off than you.
It is possible to bring a horse to the ground Danny using such a technique, perhaps that was his intent.

//....because you don't like those you assume to be better off than you...//

That's a bit of an patronising assumption on your part , isn't it ?
Mikey and the rest of the holier than thou, read Prudie at 15.05.
Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing but Jane Miller having been met and surrounded by balaclava wearing hooligans she describes as 'terrorists' would have been well advised to ride away with her group, especially if there were children present and called the police.

As I've said more than once , ugly scenes.

Poor animals.
Naomi, not only horses wear blinkers.
I don't get the patronising part - it is an assumption formed by reading a lot of posters over the years and having a fair guess of where their views and sympathies might lie. I didn't call her hoity-toity did I.
poor horse came off the worst
Danny, indeed not.
I form opinions because "I don't like those I assume to be better off than me".....??

Honestly, Prudie....that's one of the daftest and most pompous sentences I've read on here in a long while......but you've made me laugh..... :-)
gness, Prudie said "some of you". This thread isn't about 'you'.
horse riding and such an activity as this one is now within the reach of many these days, stable boys and girls are invited to join in for grooming and riding out these days. It is no longer elitist as it was
