{{Main|Drag hunting}}
An established sport which dates back to the 19th century. Hounds follow an artificial scent, usually [[anise]]ed, laid along a set route which is already known to the huntsmen.<ref name=Goddard>Nicholas Goddard and John Martin, [https://books.google.com/books?id=NWu6sLJn7-kC&dq=hound+trailing&pg=PA104 "Drag hunting"], ''Encyclopedia of traditional British rural sports'', Tony Collins, John Martin and Wray Vamplew (eds), Routledge, Abingdon, 2005, {{ISBN|0-415-35224-X}}, p104.</ref> A drag hunt course is set in a similar manner to a [[Cross-country equestrianism|cross country]] course, following a route over jumps and obstacles. Because it is predetermined, the route can be tailored to keep hounds away from sensitive areas known to be populated by animals which could be confused for prey.<ref name="NE Cheshire Drag">{{cite web|title=What is drag hunting?|year=2008|publisher=North East Cheshire Drag Hunt|url=http://www.necdh.co.uk/WhatIsDragHunting.htm|access-date=11 February 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080110041921/http://www.necdh.co.uk/WhatIsDragHunting.htm|archive-date=10 January 2008}}</ref>
