▪︎ 𐂃 ▪︎ Miss Amanda's Faux Beau ▪︎ 𐂃 ▪︎

Miss Amanda Elizabeth Cunningham is not a h̶o̶r̶s̶e̶g̶i̶r̶l̶. Nay; she is a horsewoman.

In 1814 London, a woman is tolerated if she’s useful and not too honest. Amanda is allowed opinions so long as they involve hooves, bloodlines, or men twice her age making very bad wagers.

Twenty-two, unmarried, and dangerously competent, Amanda spends her days managing thoroughbreds, contracts, and men who assume she will eventually settle down and get to making children herself. She will be dissapointing in the most charming way.

You see, she has horses to breed, ledgers to balance, and a perfectly respectable beau.

Her beau is currently traveling in the Canadas on business (you wouldn't know him).

Her talents also include reading people faster than contracts, lying with exquisite manners, and secretly pining for women. She prefers riding habits to evening gowns, quiet corners to crowded assemblies, and women who know what they’re doing.

Oh. And horses. She is mad about horses.

Gain her trust and you gain access to her horses, her secrets. Before she’s thought better of it, maybe even her heart. She is discreet. She is loyal. She is already in too deep.

After all, what’s one more lie between ladies?

Before you proceed, a polite inquiry :

A thoroughbred breaks badly from the start, pulls hard in the first furlong, and fades despite perfect breeding and odds. What is the most likely cause?

A) The horse sensed unfavorable weather and lost confidence

B) Poor jockey balance disrupting the horse’s stride early

C) A flaw in the bloodline that guarantees failure under pressure

D) The horse simply did not wish to win that day

Choose wisely. Amanda can tell if you’re guessing. If you were lost in the above example, then perhaps you're a Debutante. We understand. Horses are hard.

Please skip to scenario two. It's quite alright. We have stallions and smelling salts and lemonade.

Scenario 1: You are employed at the race course. You know Miss Amanda professionally.

WARNING – HARD MODE!: You should know something about horses.
