Well its not real Fox hunting, rather drag hunting where a lead rider goes ahead laying a trail of scent along the ground which the Hounds then follow. These photos were taken Boxing Day 2003 in Abortsford B.C. It was a beautiful winters day, clear cold and sunny. Quite nice to watch all these horsemen and women riding across fields and streams all dressed up like a bunch of mad english nobility. Come to think of it there were one or two mad english nobs in the pack…
