Hunt saboteurs joined forces with huntsmen as they came together to rescue a horse which had become trapped in a deep bog.

Members of Surrey Hunt Monitors and Guildford Hunt Saboteurs were following a group of hunters from the Surrey Hunt Union near Hankley Common on Saturday.

They planned to track the hunt and document their activities, and intervene if any animals got hurt.

But after just 30 minutes one of the lead huntsman's horses got stuck in a deep bog - and the saboteurs stepped in to help their adversaries rescue the distressed animal.

A member of Guildford Hunt Saboteurs, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "When I arrived, they [the hunt] had started to take the saddle off the horse to reduce weight.

"I waited until they had done that to ask if they needed help but they said 'no' so I observed at the side and carried on taking footage."
