Aldin was invited to stay with most of the leading foxhunters of the day and spent days sketching from the saddle. He noted landmarks and the characteristics of members of the field, so that each rider was recognisable. Particular attention was paid to the huntsman, the Master and any prominent followers. Some of the well known hunts Aldin went out with are The Quorn, Cottesmore, Pytchley, Belvoir, Duke of Beaufort's, Devon & Somerset and Warwickshire.
