The Fox Hunt (2012)
“She wanted to lay this part of her trail as quickly as possible, dropping her confetti “scent” often to confuse the huntsman and the hounds.
Stevie didn’t often have a chance to ride all by herself. Although she loved being with friends, it was kind of nice to be alone with Topside. It made her imagination churn, thinking what it might have been like for pioneers to ride through these woods alone hundreds of years ago, not knowing which tree might hide a predator or an enemy. That made her feel... a lot like a fox. It was a real inspiration.
“Now what are we going to do?” she asked Topside. His ears flicked around at the sound of her voice, but he didn’t seem to have an answer. Stevie was going to have to do this all by herself. She drew Topside to a halt, sprinkled some confetti on the ground, and thought.
She was near a hillside, not far from Willow Creek, and headed for farmland where they were not supposed to ride. The hillside seemed the most logical move. There were a lot of hiding places there, and years of riding horseback in the woods and playing hide-and-seek there with her riding friends had taught Stevie where every one of them was.MoreLess
