A group of skilled riders, both men and women, mounted on majestic horses, charge through a picturesque landscape with their loyal hound dogs by their side. The hunters' determination is palpable as they engage in an exhilarating pursuit of the formidable boar. Every thread tells a story - from the intensity etched on each rider's face to the graceful movement captured within every horse's stride.
