That's an excellent point about the equality in their relationship and I like the idea that it mirrors the way they both manage to mess it up, bolting into the arms of others when it all falls apart.

Yes, I don't think Ginty's on teams in the way that Marie Dobson is in End of Term, and all that holiday riding has also probably kept her in trim. I used to share a house with someone who told me that she had her first orgasm in her mid-teens while horse-riding, so I can't necessarily read a lack of physicality in Ginty and Patrick's relationship from a depiction of them sitting back-to-back, even if they haven't spent the night together in a haystack.
