Thursday, 11.45am - Hundreds of people turned out on Boxing Day to meet the riders, horses and hounds from the Belvoir Hunt who met on St Peter's Hill in Grantham.
The annual spectacle attracts families from all over the area and this year's event was hosted by Mayor of Grantham Graham Wheat.
More than 380 was collected, with around 204 going to the Mayor's charities and the rest to hunt funds.
After they met the public, 50 riders took part in the traditional Boxing Day hunt around the Vale of Belvoir.
Master and huntsman Rupert Inglesant said it went well, although one horse died after having a heart attack near Stroxton.
He said: "It was a good turnout and we were delighted to have repaid the Mayor's hopsitality by raising money for his charities."
