Hunt protester Nicola Rawson was injured when she was struck by a horse last August
A huntsman with the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale Hunt will face trial after denying a charge of causing grievous bodily harm to a protester.
It follows an incident a year ago when Nicola Rawson was trampled by a horse, causing seven broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
Peter Mark Doggrell, 46, appeared at Taunton Crown Court, where he pleaded not guilty to GBH.
Mr Doggrell, of Sherborne in Dorset, was released on bail.
He will appear again in December.
