Checklist of things to look out for and record at a
public Boxing Day or New Year’s Day Meet.

If you want to object to a meet, you will need evidence. Collect it THIS YEAR and spend the next year challenging the hunt – try to get it stopped for NEXT YEAR. We do support protests, but if you want to get good evidence it is best to stand back and just record and record and record…

What to look for:

This is about PUBLIC SAFETY

• Hunts break the law and take risks with public safety at their Christmas meets
• Collecting evidence of this is CRUCIAL
• Attend the meet, and take a camera with you. 

Look out for

• Obstruction of the highway
• Dangers posed by animals
• Illegal activity on the road 

Take video and photos of

• Horses and riders blocking the road 
• Hunt personnel directing the traffic
• Riders taking horses the wrong way up a one-way street
• Riders taking horses on pavement or on pedestrian only area

Look out for dangers to the public

Take video or photos of

• Horses with red ribbons in their tails. This means the horse is a kicker.
• Unleashed hounds running about among children
• Hounds running about in the road
• Spooked and unsettled horses/incompetent riders
• Faeces in the road

Also watch for and collect evidence of

• Bucket collections for the hunt
• The sale or consumption of alcohol in the street
• Any public disturbance
