Not all horse riders support bloodthirsty hunting
MY father-in-law was William Falkner who worked from Falkners shoe shop in the High Street (now featured in the Harborough Museum).
His father and grandfather made hunting boots for local gentry at some time.
One of these exceptional pairs is now in the Northampton Museum.
From their shop I have a mounted fox’s head and brush (tail) which I carefully clean.
I applaud the League Against Cruel Sports and their triumphant outcome at the trial of the Fernie pair who presumed they could do as they liked to our wild animals in broad daylight.
I love horses and used to ride, please do not think that all riders take part in this abhorrent bloodthirsty pastime.
Maureen Falkner,
Mowsley Lane,
