Steeped in tradition, the Horses & Hounds demonstrate a unique relationship between human, animal and nature. Most Maryland "fox hunts" are fox chases, not hunts to kill. If the hounds do manage to chase a fox to ground, the huntsman calls off the hounds, congratulates them, and then moves on, leaving the fox safely in its den.
