Huntswoman Faces RSPCA Probe After Being Caught on Camera Kicking And Slapping a Horse
Horse rider repeatedly kicks and slaps horse (Video)
Sarah Moulds, 37 from Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire is being investigated by the RSPCA after the shocking video sparked outrage online and was viewed more than two million times. The female foxhunter who was filmed appearing to punch and kick a horse is a married primary school teacher who is a team leader of her local Pony Club.
The video shows a horse apparently reluctant to get into a trailer, before a woman grabs the reins, kicks the animal, and slaps and punches it several times. Sarah Moulds, a mother of two, is a teacher at Somerby Primary School and a director of the Knossington & Somerby Pre-School, Leicestershire. Social media listings show that she is a team leader of the Cottesmore branch of the Pony Club in Leicestershire. The video of her allegedly attacking a horse was shared by Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs, an anti-hunting campaign group.
She slaps the horse repeatedly in the face
In the footage, the woman dressed in cream breeches and a navy jacket grabs the reins of the horse before she kicks its torso and slaps it repeatedly in the face as it tries to pull away. Sarah Moulds has since deleted her social media and is not staying at home ‘terrified’ by the abuse and threats she has received via social media. Watch the video showing her being aggressive towards the animal after it ran into a road.
