Fun & Games, Monday, Period 2
The Danger shop had been programmed to look like a gentle landscape of rolling hills today, and several horses were penned in an enclosure near the area where the class gathered. As for the teacher, she was holding the reins of a black mare and lookign as though she wasn't sure what it was doing there.
"Hey," she said. "So today we're riding horses. I hear it's good for you."
She gave the horse a pat on the nose. "I'm not so sure it's good for the horse, which is why we're doing it in the Shop. Now, to ride a horse, first you have to get onto it. You take the reins in one hand like this" -- and here she talked through the steps of getting onto a horse's back, ending up only slightly wobbily atop her own horse. "And then you tug on the reins and dig your heels in the tiniest bit, and off the horse goes."
Her horse seemed to have been waiting for that instruction; it took off faster than Jack had anticipated, and she had to yank on the reins to get it to stop.
"Your assignment for today is to try to keep up with me," she said, climbing down off the horse. "But first, we all need to pick out horses and climb up on them. I'm here to help if you can't do it by yourself."

It helped that he was a genuinely terrible horseback rider.
