The drizzle alternates with steady rain. On hand today is the executive director of the national organization that sanctions fog hunting in America, the master of the Fox Hound Association. This is a contest really between the fox and the hounds. The emphasis in America is to chase the fox, or the coyote in this case, so we get on these horses, these wonderful creatures, and we watch two animals that have been chasing each other since the beginning of their existence, the fox and the coyote, and we get to watch it in this beautiful countryside you got here. There is a dress code.
Participants protect and defend the event's distinctive look.
The trademark red coat worn by men is considered an honor. Women can earn an identical coat in black. The colors on the collar identify each hunt club. Old gold and royal blue is the North Hills. Even the ascot scarf called a stock tie has a purpose.
