I have been surprised that this topic has not come up. I am now no longer furious and settled down to just angry so that I can comment here. The unbelievably stupid, out of control woman slapping and kicking her horse at the hunt. When she eventually comes out of hiding, I hope her life is as ruined as the horse has been. That horse will no longer be any good and only suitable for an isolated retirement away from humans. What sentence is best suited for her? Certainly to never own animals again and receive anger management training.

I for one have no idea what you're referring to, so if you can post a link to something, that might help.

Awful to watch the video, she's been suspended from her teaching job and removed from various hunt groups I believe, the RSPCA have requested a meeting with her, but the last I heard was she had gone into hiding so this has not happened yet.....

Pretty vile treatment, unjustifiable.

Seems that some humans are intellectually inferior to their animals. At least in this case. Shame the horse didn't kick her back.

I suppose that no one here has ever lost their rag.

With hunt saboteurs everywhere, lots of similar instances are posted. There is another circulating out of North Wales currently but I cannot find the actual video.
Not difficult to find the woman - there cannot be many mother of two (pity them...) teachers in the Melton area who hunts and holds a position with The Pony Club...
Edit - I meant to add that she maybe epitomises the saying (I cannot remember by whom) - ...the unspeakable chasing after the uneatable...

I presume the two girls in back protectors looking on helplessly are her two daughters. What a shocking example she just set for them. She thoroughly deserves whatever vitriol is directed her way for that display of appalling abuse. But the girls will also take a mass of criticism for their mother's disproportionate bullying of the horse.

Sadly, I can almost bet the daughters have seen it all before. My experience is that these hunt sort are very matter-of-fact with their horses. They are just tools to enable the riders be part of that unenviable crowd. There are many instances of unseated riders abusing horses when they balk at a jump.
I can quite agree with 'everyone has lost their rag' - but my gripe is that the 'woman' waited until she had the horse under control before she cowardly kicked/hit it. There are two things, in my book anyway: you never discipline a pet in its refuge/bed and you never admonish the pet whilst under ones control. But as I said, to these people, the hunting hac is not a pet.

I was as saddened as the next person to witness the treatment the horse recieved but having seen the emaciated & crippled animals that the RSPCA seize from owners and looking at the general good condition of the horse there clearly is a lot worse goes on that is not in the public eye, I think peoples dislike of hunting, myself included may influence their reaction.
Regarding the physical and mental abuse, I am not a horsey person and would value the opinion of those on the forum that are, I have always considered horses to be very hardy animals based on how they heal from horrific wounds in nature when wild or simply neglected by their owners, can it really be true that after what we saw, as unjustified and cruel that it was that "That horse will no longer be any good and only suitable for an isolated retirement away from humans"?
I hope some of the horse owners can answer that, I was exposed to worse abuse than that repeatedly in my childhood and teenage years from family, school teachers and bullys which frankly was nothing compared to the horrific cases I read about on a daily basis, I don't doubt that many carry mental scars but the majority go on to lead fullfilling and worthy lives, perhaps horses are indeed less resiliant but I cannot equate the treatment we saw with that particular horse needing to live out its life in sanctuary.

Um, I'm in no way defending her behaviour, but I'd dispute the statement that horses are defenceless animals! IIRC, they bite, kick and if all else fails, chuck their rider over the top after every single ***** jump  |
