It's already been repeatedly pointed out that hunting is not the preserve of the rich, but a part of ordinary people's lives. You're free to be prejudiced and ignorant, but people will call you out on it.

Gee, I wonder where all these ordinary people hunting were when I was growing up in Herefordshire and Sussex, because I sure as hell didn't see anyone but wealthy middle-class tories doing it, personally. And by the way cupcake, my partner's father's a farmer and he gets on just fine without killing foxes, on horseback or otherwise.

And I'm free to express my distaste at a tradition that perpetuates the idea that being born into wealth and pissing about on a horse somehow makes you worthy of idolatry.
At least the tourists at Buckingham Palace are gawping at people who can actually control their horsies effectively
