Hunt saboteurs filmed the moment a horse rider collided with a woman.
A man has been arrested following an incident in which a horse "collided" with a hunt saboteur while jumping over a gate.
Leicestershire Police said the 34-year-old was arrested on suspicion of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and remains in custody.
The arrest comes after Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs posted footage online of the incident in Whissendine, Rutland.
They had been filming the Cottesmore Hunt when it happened.
Police said they were called to a field in Station Road shortly after 13:35 GMT on Saturday, after receiving "a report that a horse had collided with a woman".
They said the hunt saboteur, a woman in her 60s, did not suffer any serious injuries during the incident.
Police previously said the man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm but have since clarified that this was incorrect.
The hunt saboteur can be seen under the horse in this still from the video footage
