Fox hunts involve a large pack of hunting dogs - hounds - followed by a large group of riders on horses. The dogs are bred and trained to smell, chase and kill foxes. If the pack smells a fox, they charge off at great speed after it, and the horse riders follow, leaping over fences in their stride (farms over which fox hunting occurs usually have low, wooden fences rather than wire ones, which horses cannot jump over). The hunt continues until a fox is found and killed by the hounds, or the riders give up.
