Will I keep her fit enough?

Hattie is very very fit at the moment. She could easily do a full days hunting.
This year she will be living out at home. She was at work living in last year.
I plan to hack her to 3-4 weekday hunt meets this year. A max of 45mins away.
But when the clocks change I can only ride her twice a week. I work 6 days a week with an afternoon off.
My plan is to do my canter work on my afternoon off and do a 2-2 1/2 hour hack on Sundays. Then my mum will lunge for 30 mins, mostly trot and canter or hack her, mainly walking on the days I can't ride. Do you think this will be enough to keep her fit?
When she was at work I used to hack for 1 1/2 hours on Sun, and canter 3 times a week. The rest I either lunged her or put her on the walker. She hunted once or twice a month last season.

Obviously I will monitor her and if she is getting tired take her home and I will bare in mind I have to hack back again.

It really depends on the individual horse. You will just have to see, as you say, monitor her and see if she is coping. She will tell you!

Be very careful of injuries though, hunting/competing an unfit horse is dangerous and greatly increases the risks of injury. But it sounds like that may be enough work.
