Nathan Sayer (pictured) and wife Catharine had been seen throwing food and crackers during the gathering of around 20 fellow equestrians, magistrates were told.
A wealthy couple attending a horse riding club Christmas dinner attacked the landlords of an upmarket country pub and three of their staff after being told they couldn't have another drink, a court heard.
During the disturbance Mr Sayer, 49, who runs a sales consultancy company, allegedly racially abused an employee he mistakenly thought was Muslim - but who just had a deep tan from a recent holiday to Australia. Prosecutor Ryan Seneviratne told the court that the Sayers were with a large group of people from a horse riding club at the Wedgewood livery yard.
Mrs Faulkner told the court that Mrs Sayer went to the bar and 'demanded' another drink while she waited for her husband. The court heard that Mr Sayer then told Mr Faulkner that the New Inn and another pub he owns were 'dog s***', causing Mrs Faulkner to tell the couple it was time for them to leave.
Mrs Faulkner told the court that Mr Sayer then, while doing a false laugh, came very close to her face. At this point, her husband stopped filming and pushed the company director out of the pub, believing that his wife was in danger. The court heard Mrs Faulkner's skin was broken in this incident, and the scabs from this stayed on her neck for four to five days.
