Uh-oh! And here I was relieved that they got home safely from the wedding. I'm sure the stallion will be all right in the end, or you'd not have name the story for him--but it looks to me like some major angst coming up!

Hmm... this chapter echoes events in 'Runaway' - with regard to his children being in danger, Pippin looses the ability to think clearly.

Woah, things really happen in a hurry here! Tom may hope that Pip can be reasonable, but the way to find out is surely not to threaten the safety of his wife and child. It's interesting the way Pip is compared to his father in both this chapter and the one before it. Farmer Banks sees the steel, and Tom is hoping to see flexibility. They both may be surprised in the end. But I do feel sorry for Ferdi here. He's used his skills to stop the attack, staring down the horse. But in the mood he's already in after Pippin's disappearance at the wedding, he's likely to take the task of destroying the horse immediately on himself, beat himself up about his disappointment, and bury a bit more resentment towards the one who keeps making things like this happen. Not a good omen for their future relationship (good thing we know it works out, after many trials).

Did you mean to have a stable-hobbit take Sock's reins from Pip and lead him away, and then take them again in the next paragraph? It reads a little funny, like an edit was missed - or perhaps I'm missing something else.

Author Reply: Thanks for that catch! My editor usually gives chapters the once-over when I post them, but she's busy this week with Real Life, and I'm not so good at catching as she is!
