#1 FOXHUNTING was a major way for civilian Gentlemen - read, Commissioned Officers present + future - to maintain the skills and elite prestige of the [obsolescent]Horse Cavalry. Not unlike the Navy's dedication to big-gun Battleships/Dreadnoughts versus the Airplane-Aircraft Carrier, for the Army the Horse Cavalry had 00's = 000's of years of PROVEN land warfare tradition behind it.
