"Foxhunters: Celebrating Tradition and Adventure in the Countryside" Fox Hunters toast a day on the hunt at their local, raising their glasses high with exhilaration after an exciting chase through fields and forests. The Master of Fox Hounds leads the way, guiding the pack with unwavering expertise. Hunt Meet at Hever Castle brings together riders from far and wide, as they gather to embark on a thrilling pursuit. The grandeur of the castle adds an air of elegance to this age-old tradition. The Melton Hunt, renowned for its rich history and esteemed reputation, attracts enthusiasts who appreciate both the thrill of the chase and the camaraderie among fellow riders. The Mendip Hunt Meet offers picturesque landscapes as a backdrop for this beloved pastime. In Double Silk & Final Pride, foxhunters proudly display their attire - meticulously tailored coats adorned with double silk lining - symbolizing their dedication to preserving tradition while embracing modernity. However, not everyone shares in their enthusiasm. A disgruntled parson curses foxhunters as hounds trample his once-pristine garden, leaving chaos in their wake. A dinner party is ruined by the arrival of a stinking game dish brought by these passionate hunters who fail to consider others' sensitivities. Yet amidst controversy lies moments of connection; two Regency men stop in freezing winds to engage in lively conversation about recent hunts. Their shared passion warms them against nature's harsh elements. A tired and drunken man finds himself amidst raucous laughter at a dinner party filled with boisterous foxhunters regaling tales from present "degenerate" days. Despite exhaustion, he can't help but be captivated by their infectious spirit. Through centuries-old engravings capturing scenes of joyous celebration or heated debates over hunting practices, we glimpse into a world where foxhunters revel in both nostalgia and progress – forever bound by love for adventure on horseback and the thrill of the chase.
