As we are talking UK here with tartan, then British terminology, I think, would be appropriate and that is precisely why I posted my picture to illustrate my point.
The term "foxhunter" in your picture title is correct in a literal sense, but in terminology, quite incorrect! In Uk terms. Confusing, what?
In the US we call it fox chasing as the purpose is not to actually kill the animal but to enjoy the thrill of the chase.
