Horses have been used by humans throughout the ages, from pulling carts to carriages, and generally doing the heavy lifting until motorcars were invented. They are still used for pulling carriages in ceremonial events. Up until the ban they were used for fox hunting, the act of tracking, chasing and sometimes killing a fox with bloodhounds. The sport originated in England but has spread all over the world to countries such as Italy, Australia, America, Canada, France, and even Russia. Unfortunately it was banned in Britain in 2004, but oddly shooting foxes as vermin with a firearm remains to be legal.
I personally don’t understand this, as a bloodhound will kill a fox instantly whereas a farmer shooting from a distance might just clip the animal, leaving it maimed and in agony. People often misunderstand the act of fox hunting as cruelty and elitist, but it is merely a game to both hound and fox.
People seem to have no qualms with fishing, which is far more cruel as it involves pulling the thing out of the water by its lip and then leaving it to down in air, slowly but surely. There seems to be a relationship between the size of the animal and the idea of cruelty. Aside from fox hunting, horses are used in polo, racing, dressage and of course, for a leisurely ride across the countryside.
