A man accused of seriously injuring a hunt saboteur near Sibbertoft has pleaded not guilty.
Chris Mardles, 25, is charged with causing grievous bodily harm, after a horse was ridden over a male activist during a meet in September 2020.
Police say the member of the Northants Hunt Saboteurs group suffered a collapsed lung and several broken bones.
Mardles, of Petworth, West Sussex, formerly a member of the Pytchley Woodland Hunt, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday and denied the charge.
He will go on trial next year.
I hope someone captured it on camera.
This piece of garbage should be held in custody till the trial, these evil scum are bare faced liars, did anybody catch it on camera I wonder?? The amount of damage this sab suffered this Mardles scum should go down for a very long time and while he is in prison??I hope someone beats the hell out of him.
