Harrison and her handful of hanger-on horseriders humourlessly hacked the highways with half-a-pack o’ hunting hounds!
This morning we showed up to the Stevenstone hunt, who were parked on a narrow country lane at Berry Cross, near Peters Marland. Huntswoman Jessica Harrison insisted they were out for hound exercise, and they did indeed go for an easy hack around the roads and bridleways. We followed on foot and in vehicles to ensure they didn’t hunt. Last season they were fixated on killing foxes, and we will be keeping a close eye on the Stevenstone hunt again this season.
Bringing the hounds to the meet in a trailer rather than a hound van, and managing to muster only 4 field riders this close to the main season, we hope that our relentless sabbing of this hunt last season has paid off.
After this we found Eggesford hunting around Newbuildings, near Copplestone. There were vehicles unboxed on the roadsides between Sutton Farm and Frostland. Between our drone teams and vehicles, we caught up to the hunt near Swannaton Wood.
The hunt packed up on our arrival around 1pm, but unfortunately they had a few hours of hunting before we arrived.
