Description

I really enjoyed painting this! It was so challenging though! The angle Val is at was so difficult to draw, plus so much tack and so many people o; but I am very very happy with how it has turned out!

-Story: 

Although it had been a hectic few weeks what with moving horses across to his new stables, Tristan had known that he intended to go across to take part in the Hubertus Hunt from when it had been announced. His poor mare, Val had been doing rather a lot of travelling of recent, having only lately arrived at the stables in Italy, to then be taken up to Denmark to take part in the famous hunt. 

The trip had already had it's fair number of interesting moments, for example the worrying moment of being directly behind Firelight's Izzy Payne when she had taken a surprise departure from the back of her horse Penny. He had managed to turn Val quickly enough, though it had taken a short while to calm the mare afterwards, they'd had a solid run of cantering, and being pulled off course so suddenly and pulled to a halt while the hunt regathered itself together again had made the baroque mare rather antsy, causing Tristan to become rather grateful for the pelham bit he rode her in, otherwise he feared he too would find his way to the ground, short of a horse, though it had meant he hadn't had much time for talking as he was having to continually keep his focus on the mare to stop her from bucking or rearing up in protest.

This however did not prevent Val from doing a rather impressive jump when it came to the hay wagons once the hunt had carried on, over-jumping by quite an impressive amount, he could hear the thunder of horse's hooves behind him as Val flicked her tail and pushed herself into the air with a disgruntled snort, pulling the reins through Tristan's fingers and nearly throwing him off with the huge jump she gave. Unfortunately, as far as she was concerned, her rider was a little too used to her antics to been thrown off, he righted his position before she landed, pulling the reins back a little so that she didn't get the opportunity to gallop off at full speed, after all they needed to stay amongst the hunt. Though the sound of a chuckle from behind them did catch Tristan's attention, along with the catcall of "someone's feeling a bit rebellious". Looking over his shoulder, Tristan was greeted by the grinning face of Firelight's Aisha Bond. He grinned back, "what can I say? Val's wanting to get back to her feed."
