Farewell to… Cattistock field master Fiona Vigar

Fiona Vigar has died in hospital, following a hunting fall last month.

Mrs Vigar, 43, described as a “mainstay of the hunt” by Cattistock joint-master and huntsman Will Bryer, passed away on Sunday (10 February).

She had suffered a head injury when her horse slipped on the road in Loders, Dorset, on 24 January.

Mrs Vigar was a popular and respected former joint-master of the Cattistock and worked for the grain marketing company, Frontier Agriculture.

“It is just a terrific loss for hunting and farming in this area,” said Mr Bryer.
