Jacky Allen, founder of the Countryside Sports Appeal for the Air Ambulance said: “The air ambulance is a life saving service and those involved in country sports have been supporting it through my appeal for several years.

“The Fernie is one of many hunts in the Midlands holding events to raise money and we are hugely grateful for their contribution.”

Several hundred people went to the hunt’s open day at its kennels in Great Bowden near Market Harborough.
