Yes, Jake. We all know sabs are famous for their ability to telepathically redirect flying rocks mid-air. Nothing says irony quite like being taken out by your own side and immediately blaming the people you were trying to attack in the first place. 04/04

As blood streamed down his face - courtesy of his own teammate - Jake did the only logical thing: pointed at sabs and declared, โYou did this!โ 03/04

Enter his mate, Tom Bounsall, who apparently thought the solution was to pick up a rock and launch it at our windscreen. Unfortunately for Jake, Tomโs aim wasโฆ optimistic. The rock smacked Jake Crabb square in the face, splitting his eyebrow. 02/04

Karma hits terrierman Jake Crabb in the face When we say karma, what we really mean is: the universe has a spectacular sense of timing. While sabbing Eggesford Hunt today, terrierman Jake Crabb decided the best way to stop our Land Rover was to climb onto the bonnet. 01/04

If this is the culture and tradition you are trying to defend, then it needs to end now.

It's also worth pointing out how easy it can be to spook a fox. Just the whispering and movement of the sabs was enough to turn the fox away from them. Think what the cracking of whips, saddle slapping, shouting, and hollering can do to turn foxes back towards the hounds.

What happens when sabs can rate hounds off before a chase has a chance to begin. https://t.co/D59A6fBxHv

Fox escaped past sabs while their mate was chased over the A30 by @DorsetMonitor Supporters got agitated at the sight of a fox getting away and Ditchman started bullying a female sab. He then did an Oscar worthy dive Steve Paul style! Watch to the end to see it!

Let's see how many of those MPs who attended Boxing Day hunt meets yesterday, defending trail hunting, will have the guts to condemn the BSV hunt today, openly fox hunting across the busy A30. None of the supporters who saw the fox warned the hunt staff that hounds were on a fox

With the new year approaching, we'd also like to thank everyone who has supported us this season, whether with tipoffs, hunt gossip (it's quite the soap opera!), donations or boots on the ground. We're so incredibly grateful for your support. ๐ซถ๐ฆ 09/10

If your new year's resolution is to do more for wildlife, why not consider becoming a sab? We're always on the lookout for new foot sabs, drivers, navigators, drone pilots and spotters. Drop us a message to find out more. 08/10

Regardless of what happens with the hunting ban going forward, and whether the planned amendments make it more enforceable or not, sabs will continue sabbing for as long as it takes. 07/10

This video is very similar to one we filmed at another meet of the Eggesford Hunt, in this very same valley last year. Which can be seen below. 06/10 https://t.co/7POye3Ij1W
STOPPING HOUNDS IN THEIR TRACKS Sabs are the last line of defence between the hunt and the fox. This short video, filmed by sabs at a recent Eggesford Hunt meet at Ellmead Farm (near Okehampton), shows exactly what that looks like. ๐งต (1/4)
