Status: In progress

Pansy hadn't been hunting since before Tommy's death so she was looking forward to the opportunity to go for a fox hunt with Steve. Her mother was watching the girls, so Pansy had the day off, as it were. She was dressed in a black split riding skirt (instead of the typical beige since she still considered herself in mourning) over her britches and boots, and in full hunt gear with her ivory shirt and dark hunt coat and top hat. While she knew how to ride side saddle and occasionally did for pleasure rides, for this she rode astride, wanting the better balance for riding and jumping. The benefit of not being pregnant was the ability to not hold back.

It was a rare pleasure for Pansy to be out riding with someone who could match her riding skill and she found herself enjoying the afternoon. After a relatively intense segment of jumping and cantering, Pansy and Stephen brought their horses back to a walk.

"I must thank you again - this has been a simply wonderful afternoon. I rarely have the opportunity such as this."
