In November 2024 North Dorset Hunt Sabs found the notoriously violent Blackmore & Sparkford Vale (BSV) Hunt meeting at the Lydford Agri Centre which is near the A37 and just a few miles/kms west of Castle Cary. The meet appeared to be in the yard of A R Gane & Sons, a local business supplying equestrian/farm animal feeds and products. A Google review of Gane & Sons from Jan 2024 notes “Allows illegal fox hunting. Avoid.” suggesting that this isn’t the first time that this ‘equestrian’ business has been involved with the BSV.
