Royal Artillery Foxhounds
Hosted by: Lacock Dairy Ltd, 32 Reybridge, Lacock, SN15 2PF
And so it begins….. the mask begins to fall and getting back to business.
Todays “hound exercise” event was hosted by Lacock Dairy, owned by David Doel who was there to greet them as they arrived. David is well known in the world of fox hunting, an enthusiastic member the most vile of hunts, the now defunct Avonvale (AVH), and present at the sickening dig out of two foxes and the leaked video footage taken early 2023. So shocking was the footage, it went viral and made worldwide news, resulting in convictions and the collapse of the AVH. David can now be found hunting with the Tedworth Hunt, home to many ex Avonvale members. While we know times are hard for the RAH securing land to hunt on, this tainted host and location is a new low, for even them!
Lacock is of course, very close to the private home of Camilla, a regular hunter in her day around the area and due to her private residence.
A larger number of child riders today, perhaps due to the association of Reybridge Eventing and stables only next door to the dairy, and also owned by David Doel. The usual speeches were made and Major (retired) Johnny "Halfwit" Hatherway-White could be heard saying “we’ve got a very young pack out today, so will have three whips controlling” One has to ask, what has happened to last years hounds? We know the likelihood that if they are truly moving to drag hunting then last years hounds will not be able to be re-trained, and we very much doubt they have been rehomed. Other regular faces were in tow. New kid on the block, Lt Joe Gregg, gamefully employing his spare time chasing foxes; Pearl Earring also put in her ugly appearance and Johnathan Seed spotted lurking around but made a quick exit in his car away from the scene when he saw us.
Given the location and host, it came as no surprise, that a quad was in action today, complete with terrier box. No front number plates and driving on the public highway at high speed with little control nor any consideration for other vehicles, cyclists and walkers.
A thank you to the handful of locals we spoke to face to face and via messenger last week, who provided us with good information for the future and expressed their feelings about any “Trail” hunt liars arriving in their village. Your information will always remain confidential. Thank you to you all. Until the RA can demonstrate they are a true drag hunt, we will be with them.
Long Live the Fox
