A woman on horseback appears to repeatedly whip a hunt saboteur with a riding crop after he tried to stop her “charging down” his fellow protesters in shocking footage.
In the video the furious rider screams “get off my horse ” and strikes out wildly at the masked man as he tries to grab onto the reins during an alleged clash with the East Sussex & Romney Marsh Hunt Club on Saturday.
Saboteurs claim she lashed him with her horse whip 17 times before charging at their group on marshland near the village of Pevensey.
But others commented that it looked as though the rider was protecting her horse after it was 'spooked' by protesters.
Footage of the ugly confrontation was later posted on the Brighton Hunt Saboteurs’ Facebook page and has been viewed more than 350,000 times.
