Question

The largest instances of this activity in America were named after the first American horse to win the Epson Derby, Iroquois. This activity grew in popularity after Robert Bakewell met with Hugo Meynell at Quorn Hall. If participants in this activity become distressed or lost, the “clean boot” technique is used to guide them back to safety. The leader of this activity is assisted by “Whippers-in” during so-called “runs.” Punch magazine cartoons criticizing this activity depicted Mr. Briggs. (-5[1])This activity was the focus of the Jack Straw-led Burns Inquiry that led to bans on this activity under Tony Blair. During World War II, RAF pilots used a phrase from this activity before engaging a target. Paintings of this activity often depict a man on horseback with a black cap and red coat leading a group tracking urine. For 10 points, name this cruel activity once popular in the UK, in which dogs are used to catch vulpines. (10[1]) ■END■

ANSWER: fox hunting [accept hunting vulpines until “vulpines” is read; accept red foxes, vixens, tods, or reynards in place of “fox”; prompt on hunting or equivalents; prompt on trail hunting or hunting with dogs or equivalents by asking “the dogs are used to hunt what type of animal?”; prompt on equestrianism or riding horses or similar answers by asking “what activity that often takes place on horseback?”] (The phrase RAF pilots used was “tally-ho.”)
