THIS is the shocking moment a huntswoman repeatedly whips a saboteur with a riding crop and screams "get off my horse".
The rider was caught on camera shouting at the man trying to disrupt the hunt as he grabbed for the reins of her horse.

Footage of the altercation shows the masked man being whipped as the furious rider tries to get him to away from her steed.
Saboteurs of the hunt carried out by the East Sussex and Romney Marsh Hunt Club on Saturday claim the huntswoman used her whip 17 times before charging at their group.
The video was posted on the Brighton Hunt Saboteurs' Facebook page and has been viewed thousands of times since.
It shows the moment during the hunt on Saturday where the woman seems to try and use her horse to move the protesting group on.

The rider then moved her horse towards one of the people filming the group
She shouts at them to "get back to the road" before a masked man grabs hold of her horse's bridle.
He clings on to the reins as she yells "get off my horse, get off my horse" while whipping him.
The increasingly riled up woman eventually moves away from the group as a hunt steward shouts "get off the f****** horse, don't grab f****** horses".
In response the saboteurs say: "Don't charge horses into people. You cannot ride people down."
Brighton Hunt Saboteurs said they were there to make sure no illegal hunting took place and claim they are victims of an unprovoked attack.
A spokeswoman for the East Sussex and Romney Marsh Hunt said: "The East Sussex and Romney Marsh Hunt does not condone any form of violence even when faced with extreme provocation, personal harassment and other offences.
"The hunt acts lawfully within the confines of the Hunting Act 2004 and takes every measure to ensure the law is adhered to."
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “A third party report of an assault has been made after a man was allegedly struck with a riding crop by a horse rider in Herstmonceux on Saturday (November 18).
“The incident happened in a field off Church Road around 12.30pm. The victim was reported to have received a bruise and bump to the head, but did not require medical treatment.
“The informant was not a witness to the incident, but police have now identified the alleged victim and an investigation is under way."
Earlier this year we reported on the moment anti-hunt protesters were pelted with horse poo by fox hunt supporters, sparking chaotic scenes in a town centre.
