Trail Hunt Demonstration Against Government's Proposed Ban
Hundreds of people gathered at Lopshill Farm in Fordingbridge to watch a trail hunt demonstration by the Wilton Hunt on Friday, October 10.
The event was attended by MPs Caroline Nokes and Sir Julian Lewis, and was held in response to the UK Government's proposed ban on the sport.
- The hunt is run by a group of masters, including Hugo Mann and Ollie Coward.
- Instead of using a fox, the hunt uses a trail with a scent for the hounds to follow.
- The scent is sourced from roadkill and placed in a bag for the hounds to track.
The event was part of the ongoing fight against the government's proposed ban, despite claims of broad support for trail hunting in the south of England.
