Supporters poured into the National Trust village for the annual event, which attracted up to 50 riders of all ages.

Close to 1,000 people gathered in the High Street outside the Red Lion pub, before the trail hunt riders set off with 37 hounds across the Wiltshire countryside in wet and cloudy conditions.

Joint hunt master Stuart Radbourne was full of praise for all those who turned out to support the event (pictured).

Here is what you had to say on Facebook

Lorraine Quayle: Actually the best thing we ever went to watch on Boxing Day! Such a great atmosphere, friendly people and the hounds. So very friendly.

Barbara Gardner: As it's a trail hunt,surely no foxes involved?

Mark Loader: They absolutely do hunt foxes, the trail hunt is a complete scam. I know plenty of people involved and they love nothing better than to chase down a real fox. It's a joke.

Libby Bridewell: Moving forward for the future! It has been decided already by a majority people don’t want hunting with dogs. Even under the guide of trail hunting when they “accidentally" come across foxes in their habitat and often other domestic pets will get mauled along the way. Traditions shouldn’t always be kept if so there would still be witch hunts!

Chris Meakin: It is so barbaric and illegal. This is one of the few things which really gets me wound up.

Alexis Pavlou: It is a classiest abuse of animals and those partaking are those that want to take us back to 19th Century master-servant relationships. No thanks.

Nicole Wynne: I find it wrong how would they like it if we chased after them and killed them for fun.

Amy Wyatt: The thing about scent trails is that they are led where there are actual foxes living so obviously the dogs pick up that scent and go after a live fox. The farmers that I live next to use their land for hunts sometimes. I presume it's a legal scent drag rather than an illegal live fox hunt but there are foxes living in the field next to my house because I see them. Now I don't believe the dogs were chasing a dragged scent when they went through the brook over to my garden but they probably caught scent of a live fox.

Cathy Allgood: Is this illegal fox hunting? If so, I hope the police are doing their duty and arresting them for breaking the law.

Margaret Harrison: Animals should not be subjected to the human need to kill things they want to control - get a better psyche. This is the 21st century not the 5th.

Kevin Peters: Another excellent turnout for all the family. It's nice to see some traditions never die.

Darren Worrow: Fox hunting is an opportunity for the wealthy to shed their fake civilised personas and celebrate their vicious and brutal side. They feed on the thrill, it's an adrenaline rush. A scented drag hunt is quite simply not the same and in that notion I find it hard to imagine it's easy to suddenly stop at the sight of a real fox. Take the many moments we've seen videoed when a protester does intervene peacefully and is savagely beaten by a hunter. Normal people do not react like this, though far from labelling hunters as mentally unstable, rather their adrenaline is pumped to the maximum when the situation occurs and their outrage explodes, most likely at someone they consider less of a human due to their lower class status. This is indoctrinated at public school and really shows their true colours.

Makes you wonder why they hate the notion of helping less fortunate, in paying taxes and funding comprehensive schools and a national health service.

Kelly Birdy Giddings: I did hear half the time the dogs don’t get the foxes.

Tim Geddes: Just the poor animal being ripped apart screaming for entertainment.

Alice Lovell: I think we should have an official Purge on anyone found illegally hunting foxes or culling badgers and to make it ‘traditional’ we’ll hunt them down in packs.

Sonya Cooper: And that is why it is on Facebook, they were conducting a legal scent hunt not a fox hunt!
