You peasanty ****ing idiots!
Huntswoman who thrashed saboteur with riding crop caught on camera ranting at protesters weeks earlier
A WEALTHY huntswoman filmed whipping an activist with a riding crop had launched a foul-mouthed tirade at hunt saboteurs three weeks before.
Footage emerged earlier this week of Jane Miller, 56, screaming ‘get off my horse’ as she lashed out at a balaclavaclad protester clinging on to her bridle.
Her husband, whose family founded the UK’s oldest hotel dynasty, claimed she had been the victim and had resorted to violence only to defend herself.
But a new video has revealed that it was not the first time the horse rider from Sussex had clashed with anti-hunt activists.
It shows Mrs Miller, this time off her horse, shoving hunt saboteurs as she screams ‘peasanty stupid f***ing idiots’ at them.
Her husband Richard Goring, 79, can be seen trying to hold her back before the footage goes shaky as she tries to hit the camera to the floor.
The Hunt Saboteurs Association said the video painted a different picture to her previous portrayal as a frightened woman protecting her horse.
Accusing her of being the aggressor, spokesman Lee Moon said: ‘This earlier video clearly shows she is anything but scared.’
Police confirmed they will speak to a woman, believed to be Mrs Miller, about the riding crop incident at Pevensey Marshes, East Sussex, last weekend.
In the film of the incident three weeks before that, Mrs Miller is wearing a gilet bearing the emblem of the East Sussex and Romney Marsh hunt club, with which she often goes drag hunting.
Riders participating in the sport – seen as a legal alternative to fox hunting, which is banned – follow their hounds as they track a scent around a set course.
Earlier this week, Mr Goring, whose family founded the fivestar Goring Hotel in Belgravia, London, said his wife had been trying to protect a young boy surrounded by 20 masked men on Saturday’s hunt.
When she tried to disperse them, one apparently grabbed hold of her reins and would not let go, leaving her horse bleeding from the mouth.
He said: ‘The anti-hunt movement before the ban said, “Well, why don’t people go drag hunting rather than fox hunting?” And I agree and so does Jane.
‘Who wants to go fox hunting? I don’t want to and Jane doesn’t want to. To be honest, I far prefer drag hunting – it’s a brilliant
‘She’s just trying to have a nice life’
sport. We don’t need to go hunting foxes. The activists don’t even need to be there – no one’s doing anything illegal. I think that it is despicable.’
He added: ‘[Mrs Miller] just doesn’t want to be part of this. She’s just an ordinary person like you and me, trying to have a nice life, and go drag hunting and jump a few fences.’
But the recording from October 21 shows a woman thought to be Mrs Miller becoming aggressive and being pulled back from attacking a protester as she describes the hunt saboteurs as ‘terrorists’.
She then screams: ‘For hunting, drag hunting? You peasanty stupid f***ing, idiots’, before violently shoving the cameraman.
She becomes increasingly aggravated as the crowd of activists laugh at her, and she screams: ‘You’re all dressed like a bunch of f***ing terrorists.’
Mr Moon said: ‘The Countryside Alliance have been trying to spin the story this week and portray Jane Miller [also known as Jane Goring] as a scared woman who was just trying to protect herself and her horse from attack.’
The couple did not return calls seeking comment on the latest film to emerge.
Sussex Police said: ‘The woman on horseback has been identified and arrangements have been made to interview her. The investigation is continuing.’
