** HIT REPORT **
22nd October 2022
Vale of the White Horse Hunt
Broughton Poggs, Lechlade, Glos
We arrived at the meet well before most of the hunt turned up, which was a really nice surprise for them. They met at 8.00 am so surely not long now until the first open meet of the season.
The field and hounds set off in the direction of the sewage works and we had positioned ourselves by Broadchurch bridge, which was in between the hounds and the works. We could hear the hounds speaking in the distance so stayed put until we felt it best to move on. We headed back into the direction of the meet and came across the hounds being taken through a field where they were possibly trying to pick up on their trail near Holly Farm. They disappeared from view for a while but we located them near Broughton Copse and then went on to Little Faringdon, which is one of their preferred areas.
We were really grateful to Cirencester Illegal Hunt Watch for joining us today and it meant for a very successful day. Our sab noticed terriermen off of the quad bikes and when they went to investigate they were soon encouraged to leave the area by the whipper in. As you will see from our video his horse was used to intimidate us out of the area.
The hunt went as far as Kencot and we stayed with them until 11.00 am. Today almost felt like a normal “trail hunting” day, so we packed up and went home for a well deserved cup of tea.
We understand this is a tough time for everybody at the moment, but if you can please spare a couple of quid as a donation this would mean a great deal to us. Our bank details are below along with links to purchasing prints by the amazing Kate Louise Powell. 50% of the profits are given to South West Sabs so not only will you be supporting us but you will also be supporting a talented animal rights artist at the same time.
