hlh_shortcuts have been revealed! Yay!
This year I wrote a gen Rebecca & Methos story. The idea mostly centered around having Rebecca and Methos at a horse show. Honestly thought including horse jumping in a story would be a dead give away that I wrote it lol. Anyway, the rest of the story grew out of that kernel.
I truly love writing Highlander, and it was a delight to discover more about Rebecca and Methos. I love them! I'm also certain this is the first HL story I've ever written that doesn't even mention Duncan at all. Not sure how I pulled that off, hah.
If anyone is curious about the Puissance, here is one video of one of the record setting jumps which always makes me laugh because of the french commentators. Here is another more modern one with several riders competing. eta: I should note the major difference between the 2 videos is that the first one is done on turf and the second one is done in an indoors arena on dirt.
Special thank you toraine for helping with a last minute beta!

Summary:
She placed her hand on his chest. “The difficulty in jumping a brick wall is not the height. It’s that you can’t see the other side. You must have faith.”
