foxhunters
Mounted pursuit enthusiasts
Foxhunters are people who participate in foxhunting—the traditional sport of pursuing foxes on horseback with a pack of hounds.
The practice is associated with British rural aristocracy and landed gentry, though it exists elsewhere.
The foxhunters gathered at dawn for the Boxing Day hunt.
In Britain, where hunting live foxes with dogs was banned in 2005, foxhunters now often follow artificial scent trails.
