OVER the years, I have noticed that there are two kinds of hunting couples; those who do it together and those who very specifically don’t. The “don’t” lot give each other a wide berth on the hunting field and keep extra vehicles so that they can travel separately. The more extreme examples subscribe to different packs. It is striking how much effort they put into being apart.
Meanwhile, couples that hunt together are a lesson in unity; travelling together, standing side by side at the meet and then proceeding to ride around knee-to-knee for the rest of the day. This is often due to their horses’ preferences rather than their own, but the effect is the same.
