\"\"<\/a>Or so they would have said in the Regency period. Then again, very few \u2018jobs\u2019 were deemed appropriate for women; let alone the impoverished daughter of a baron.<\/p>\n

My heroine in my latest Regency romance, Invitation to Scandal<\/em><\/strong>, Rheda Kerrich, has been helping the townspeople of Deal and trying to hold on to the family home for her younger brother, Baron de Winter, in her own unconventional way, as local smuggler \u201cDark Shadow.\u201d She wants to retire and put her illegal deeds behind her. But she will need money to support herself. She refuses to take the dishonorable option of marrying her wealthy neighbor, a man she does not love. Instead, she prefers to maintain her independence by any means necessary. She\u2019s at the point where she only needs one last shipment before she can retire and instigate her second plan\u2014to breed cavalry horses.<\/p>\n

Why cavalry horses? Well, Rheda being a Baron\u2019s daughter knows there is good money in breeding quality race horses. Unfortunately, women are not allowed to enter horses into the General Stud Book at Weatherby\u2019s. Thankfully there is nothing to stop her breeding cavalry horses which are sold privately. The ongoing war with Napoleon has seen an increase in the number of men signing on as cavalry officers. Each man has to buy his own mount and mounts can only be black. This means there is big demand for well bred light and heavy cavalry horse stock.<\/p>\n

Cavalry<\/em><\/strong> (from French cavalerie<\/em>, cf. cheval<\/em> ‘horse’) or horsemen<\/em><\/strong> were soldiers or warriors who fought mounted on horseback. Cavalry were historically the third oldest and the most mobile of the combat arms. A soldier in the cavalry is known by a number of designations such as cavalryman, horseman or trooper. [CLUE NINETEEN: NOTORIOUS]<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Regency period, the cavalry played an important role on the battlefields of France. The 1st and 2nd Life Guards formed the front charging line of the Household Cavalry Brigade at Waterloo. The famous charge against the French Cuirassiers took place at the height of the battle and saved the British centre from being overrun.<\/p>\n

Most horses are purchased when between 3 and 4 years of age, so Rheda smuggles in order to save enough money to see her through the first few years of breeding. Ideally, the horses should be between 15 and 15.2 hands high, hence why breeding Irish draught horses with Arabian\u2019s produces strong yet fast steeds.<\/p>\n

Rheda almost loses one of her two breeding mares to colic. Rufus, the hero in Invitation to Scandal, of course comes to the rescue\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"It was close to midnight when Rufus decided to pay an unannounced and secret visit to Tumsbury Cliff Manor. The baron could not afford a full complement of staff, and that, in all likelihood, would allow him to poke around the estate and outbuildings at his leisure. If he could only find illegal contraband, he\u2019d have the proof he needed to arrest Daniel.<\/p>\n

Part of him welcomed the chance to be caught snooping. He could do with a good fight to burn off his frustration\u2014frustration at their limited progress in uncovering a simple smuggling network, and frustration at knowing the most beautiful woman he\u2019d met in a long time was sleeping in the house he was about to visit. He\u2019d love to instigate a personal search of her room, of her bed, of her person. He gave a silent curse.<\/p>\n

He tethered Caesar a mile from the house\u2014with mares in heat he couldn\u2019t afford to let Caesar come any closer\u2014and began the walk to the manor pondering what he was going to do about Rheda. Stephen had suggested he talk with her about his mission. Explain to her why it was so important they find Dark Shadow. But he\u2019d trusted a woman once before, and it had cost him his mission and his friend\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

No. Until he found evidence of Rheda\u2019s innocence he could not afford to trust her.<\/p>\n

He sidled into the stable and came to an abrupt halt, freezing in the shadows. From somewhere within came the sounds of whimpering. He stood frozen against the wall. Who was up at this hour and why? He continued forward until he reached the first empty stall and stopped at the sight of a shape\u2014a small shape. It couldn\u2019t be the baron. One of Meg\u2019s boys perhaps? The eldest helped with the horses. But surely they would be tucked up in bed by now.<\/p>\n

He crept farther into the dimly lit stable, and as his eyes grew accustomed to the lack of light he recognized the shape\u2014Rheda. She was leaning against the stable wall, her head buried within her arms\u2014sobbing. He tried to stop his heart from lurching in his chest; he was helpless when it came to women\u2019s tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s happened?\u201d he asked with barely concealed panic.<\/p>\n

At the sound of his voice she swung round. \u201cRufus! Oh, Rufus!\u201d She flew at him, grabbed his hand, and dragged him toward the stall at the rear of the building. \u201cIt\u2019s White Lily\u2014please\u2014you have to help me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As they drew nearer Rufus could hear the mare\u2019s snorts of distress.<\/p>\n

Rheda\u2019s tears continued to flow although her sobs had quieted. The sticky trails of tears on her cheeks testified to her anguish.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel is still not home, and Jamieson and Penny have been called into Seaton. Penny daughter\u2019s gone into labor.\u201d She gestured to White Lily who lay groaning on her side, legs thrashing, stomach heaving, froth covering her nose and mouth. \u201cI can\u2019t get her to stand up. She\u2019s been lying down and standing up all day, but now she simply lies there panting and groaning. She\u2019s been fretting since early afternoon.\u201d Rheda\u2019s hands clenched and unclenched. \u201cCaesar\u2019s mating hasn\u2019t hurt her\u2014has he? He seemed so large . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

He shook his head grimly and began to take off his heavy overcoat. \u201cShe\u2019s got colic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs the condition dangerous?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be.\u201d Trying not to show his anxiety, he ripped off his jacket and began rolling up his sleeves. \u201cHow long has she been down?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time? Not long.\u201d She started to cry again. \u201cI tried to get her up, but I\u2019m not strong enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

He bent down and stroked the mare\u2019s nose. \u201cEasy girl, we\u2019ll make you feel better, but you have to get up for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you going to do?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to make her stand up. She could die if we don\u2019t get her back up and walking to ease the blockage in her gut.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWill we have enough strength between us?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need strength\u2014I hope.\u201d He crouched next to White Lily\u2019s head. \u201cYou might want to stand clear. She may kick out.\u201d Then he took a deep breath and prayed this would work. If it didn\u2019t he was not sure he\u2019d have the strength to pull the mare to her feet, even with rope. Besides, that method often hurt the horse even more. \u201cHave you any cod liver oil in the house?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll go see. I\u2019m sure we do.\u201d Rheda turned, and, lifting her skirts, she raced toward the house. He could hear her hurried footsteps on the cobblestones.<\/p>\n

Quickly he bent to his task. He covered White Lily\u2019s nose with his hand and forced her mouth closed so she could not breathe. Immediately her legs started thrashing and she made to get to her feet. After an almighty struggle she stood, although she was still in palpable discomfort.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on, we need to get you walking, young lady.\u201d And talking softly he encouraged the trembling mare out into the yard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

It would appear Rheda still has a lot to learn about horse breeding. However, I\u2019m sure she\u2019s up for the challenge. Read the book to see how she copes and to learn if Rufus Knight catches Dark Shadow\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m giving away two copies<\/strong> of Invitation to Scandal<\/em><\/strong>. Simply tell me what name you think Rheda should give her first cavalry foal. Remember they are black in color.<\/span><\/p>\n
