fox hunter
Rider with hounds
A fox hunter is someone who participates in fox hunting—the traditional pursuit of foxes with hounds on horseback.
The sport has deep associations with British aristocracy and rural gentry: The fox hunters gathered at dawn in their red coats.
Fox hunter can also describe someone who hunts foxes by other means, though the mounted tradition dominates the term's connotations.
