Footage of Sarah Moulds shared online by Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs viewed by millions in November
A primary school teacher has been sacked after footage of a horse being kicked and slapped sparked outrage on social media.
The footage was shared online in November by the anti-hunt group Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs, who said it filmed the incident while observing the Cottesmore Hunt, based in Rutland, east Midlands. The trust has now said she has been dismissed. In a statement, Paul Maddox, the chief operating officer, said: “I can confirm that Sarah Moulds’ employment with the trust has been terminated.
Moulds was also removed from her volunteer leadership position at the Pony Club, which organises horse rides for children.He added: “I’ve seen the video but we don’t know what the horse had been doing and if it was out of control. But we know it ran out on to the road and she told it off. There was no malice intended.”
