fox hunting
Equestrian predator pursuit
Fox hunting is the sport of pursuing foxes with trained hounds, traditionally on horseback.
The practice developed as aristocratic recreation in Britain, where riders in formal attire follow a pack of dogs tracking a fox's scent across open country.
The local fox hunting club meets every Saturday in autumn.
Animal welfare concerns have led to bans in some countries, though modified versions continue.
