A foxhunt is the old sport — most famous in Britain — of riding horses across the country while a pack of dogs chases a fox. As a noun it can mean one day’s meet, or the sport in general. As a verb, to foxhunt is to take part. The picture that comes with it is very English: countryside, horses, a horn, sometimes red coats, and a certain class of people. Though actually, many people now call it cruel, and in England and Wales hunting a wild fox with dogs was banned in 2004. What still happens is often called “trail hunting,” and people argue about whether that is the same thing in disguise. Outside Britain you mostly meet the word in stories, films, and history, not as something neighbours do at the weekend.
