As a Finnish horse rider, hunting has been an absolute black hole for me for 22 years. The first time, I had even heard of it, was in NZ, where every horse rider had been on a hunt field and knows exactly what it is all about.
For us, not so educated - Fox hunting is an activity involving the tracking, chase, and sometimes killing of a fox, traditionally a red fox (we were hunting rare), by trained foxhounds and a group of unarmed followers led by a master of foxhounds.
