Held at Llancayo Farm, the Usk Show is “One of the biggest One-Day Agricultural Shows in the UK, celebrating the very best of Monmouthshire farming and rural life.” Whenever we see that phrase ‘rural life’ we look for hunting with hounds…And, yes, while visitors may not know it from the website, Monmouthshire’s own Curre and Llangibby Hunt, a notoriously boorish hunt that we have featured on Protect the Wild in the past, had a stand to promote themselves and anyone downloading the schedule for the 2024 show looking under ‘Equine Events’ and ‘Local Hunter’ will find a “special rosette will be awarded to the highest placed exhibitors who hunts with the Curre and Llangibby Hunt”. Farming and fox hunting go together – well, like terriermen and wildlife crime…
