[QUOTE="Commoner, post: 6974067, member: 49653"] Trail coursing does all that without the cruel finale, exercise one horse by dragging a scent bag across a set course, then exercise the dogs and the rest of the horses following the scent. This can also avoid killing farm livestock and trashing farmers fences and gates, as well as the bad feeling caused by trespass on to private land. As for the controlling vermin, it's been well established that hunting foxes on horseback with dogs is one of the least effective ways of controlling their numbers. Considering your last comment it seems to me you're primary reason for this 'sport' is the alcohol at the end of it, all the cruelty and general chaos it causes is clearly secondary to you enjoying feeling like the lord of the manor. well the days of the peasants tugging their forelock simply because people like you tell them they have to are long gone, accept it and stop trying to live in the past, it's only real in your drunken haze.
