Good to see a great turnout again. Thanks for sharing Richard.

It’s Thems wot haves proper tinned quality street😂😂. Was really holding out for a surf uprising!

brilliant, thank you so much for sharing .

I was out yesterday on this hunt, the crowds were fantastic and the tradition clearly alive and well! Thank you for the video!

Excellent video Thank you for posting.

Another great Boxing Day video Richard. Great to see that the loonies are getting tired of it. We didn't have any at my local hunt here in West Yorkshire either, just a lot of brilliantly turned out riders, some happy hounds a few hundred supporters.

always look foward to this video, thanks for uploading

As a Berkeley resident I can confirm we no longer see foxes in and around town since the banning of the hunt. There was once a healthy population that were feed and protected by the group, the local farmers were also paid not to shoot the foxes. The old weaker foxes were genuinely the ones caught by the hunt

Great traditional gathering, that we must keep alive, always supports a lot of local jobs. 👍👍

Great video showing boxing day festivities.

Thank you Richard for posting this, absolutely AWESOME !!!👍

Great vid... That triggered some childhood memories of going to see the Earls Colne (Essex) hunt on Boxing Day back in the 70s /80s.

Am all for controling fox population but not in this way .Ive seen enough to see that fox hunting still goes on ..

Excellent video Richard, thank you.

Great 👍 👌

Great stuff,tradition is wonderful.

Well done great to see mate great to see all the supporters

Awesome to see again Richard Keeping the old traditions alive do they go through your farm. Cute to see the litte kid on the pony

I'm guessing the children on their ponies won't be charging across fields and junping hedges.

Well done Richard, let keep the counrty side Traditions alive , may the sound of the hounds never die

Totally brilliant to see, thanks for putting the video up.

whats the reason for the different colour coats?

Well done to all the folks who support the Boxing Day hunt. Keep. This British. Tradition up people.

Should never of been banned fools governern us if you have rats in the house would you put up with them ? Keep up the real country side videos Richard love them 👍🏻

Amazing sight! Love going to a hunt meet when I visit family in the countryside! We need our own London hunt 😂

Next year, Richard, you need to git yerself a 'orse, mate!

Good turnout again, nice to see the hunt.The anti mob would be outnumbered . Very nice

Nice to see a horsebox that doesn't have road tax🤣🤣

Nice one Richard. Are you aware that the word Berk was a forshprtened version of Berkley Hunt which is Cockney Rhyming Slang for the "C" word? Sums up the antis perfectly.

Dear Funky Farmer I appreciate this this vidio . I use to love love wztching the fox and hounds . Not forvthe hunting but for the whole thing Watching horses go over jumps in a chase . So thankyou for posting this . I just watch it for fun . Love the tinsel on the horeses

Brilliant ! I look forward to this vlog every year!

Brilliant! thanks for sharing, never seen that before.

I've only seen these hunts in movies or on TV. I didn't realize the hounds were so big! I think I pictured them sort of like Beagles! The horses are beautiful and it is very exciting. I think it's a great tradition now that they don't allow them to kill anything any longer. After the 3 circles through the town, do they head for the countryside or is that it? I went to a steeplechase once and it was so exciting to see. Just love horses!!!!

I have no objections to Fox Hunting providing they stick to the law, and the Fox is not the Victim and is run raged and ripped to pieces or someones pet Dog or Cat receive the same treatment which begs the question what do they chase !

There’s no better site than watching a hunt it’s part of life in the countryside love seeing lovely turned out horses and riders

Good to see so many people. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice to see the boxing day hunt. We used to have a great one in Blandford, Dorset. But the few unwashed, unemployable, made enough noise to sadly get it stoped. Miss going down to see all the lovely horses, especially the young riders enjoying the day. Keep up the good work.

Great video! Thank you

Very enjoyable great to watch unable to go myself this year thank you

Wow love to see the dog's

Well done to all who are keeping our English/British traditions alive. Those who put their money towards such things deserve support and encouragement from true Brits.

Great to see this!

Lovely to see and long may it last

What do the Gold / yellow coats signify, whilst others were in the more usual red ? - sorry if this is obvious but I know little about hunting.

🙏🙏👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪

God bless them for keeping this tradition alive. What fun! I guess we are also blessed by the Internet here as the Antis can just troll your comment section and not bother showing up in person, hooray 🤣

Thanks Richard, you cheered me up! Yesterday on the news I saw three reports of Boxing Day Hunts from Tiverton, Lewes & another in Kent. I got very upset not only with the Anti's at the venues but the comments from more Anti's online with the various media stations. Even though there is the ban of killing foxes there will always be a few killed by hounds. No different from your beloved pet dog going after a bunny or squirrel or your cat you have to let outside that will also kill birds etc. I did make one comment that I think you will agree with that there are more foxes killed by traffic than anything else. I am sick of these townies, and I know of one that feeds their residential fox with cake every evening. Not very healthy! There were some anti's that were swearing something horrendous in front of little children and terrified them, the hounds, horses & ponies. Shame on them!!!!!!!!! Again, many thanks for this video.

Didn’t make it this year,but what an amazing turnout as usual.

Well done Richard this was one day in the year I miss most since moving to London family friend meet up with the horses and pony tradition where locals meet for fun day out .this is where horse racing came from, three day eventing ,point to points which is racing from a points in the a field which created race tracks ,all so watch how the hounds respected the master staying close when the whip is cracked they stud to attentions no matter where they were in a field an come back to there master the huntman who takes care of them,the respect they show for there master is astonishing and well controlled look in your video dog walking around so peacefully safe not herrasing anyone with no leads needed on their .I can,t walk park round London where cross breeding dog on leads not been safe as they could attack at any time when you see dog walker walk dogs instead of there owner as they don,t have time to even walk them ,then call themselves dog owner ,, it a shame ,plus the amount food wild in city's is unreal real now ..sorry went off in a rant there .Well done another video.

I see a good turn out 😊😊😊😊 ❤ keep the love coming

😄😁😆😅🤣😂🙂

Good video Richard looked like fun.

Sorry, but the whole thing just smacks of Fox-hunting.

P.S. Great scenes here - a real breath of country air. Humans. horses and hounds all enjoying the event in their own way. Takes me back to my younger days living on the Wiltshire/Somerset border, with a sister who kept her own pony and rode to hounds back then.

Well Richard sometimes they dig out the foxes and throw them out for the dogs to kill them!!!!!!!!

Yep, a complete Berkeley Hunt. Mind you, they're all Berkeley Hunts there of course.

The farmer is sick for posting fox hunting

Disgusting

KEEP BRITAN HUNTING

Should be fucking banned n ma uncle is a farmer

You never stop do you...this is a sick hobby and banned rightfully so. a fox is a part of our countryside also and heritage.those hunts have no respect for farmers or their fields,fences,gates etc load of snobs
