‘Horse Cam’ Creates Hunt Film

A daily newspaper in Bristol recently used a head camera to produce a video of the traditional Boxing Day hunts.

Staff at the Western Daily Press enlisted the help of a rider to carry the cam on her helmet to record her view of the Avon Vale Hunt in Wiltshire.

The resulting footage - labelled "through the ears" by the Daily Press team - provides a visual accompaniment to the online text report of the event.

According to the site, the video content offers online visitors "a taste of what it’s like to ride with a hunt".

Holdthefrontpage.co.uk reports that this is not the first outing for ‘Horse Cam’, the £300 device has previously been used by the Daily Press to record footage during a polo match and has also been worn by an event rider.
