Physical Education, Tuesday, May 31, 2018
Today the class was in the Danger Shop to accommodate the fact that there were ponies for this go around. And if you thought the teachers could round up that many ponies here in real life, you were mistaken.
"Welcome to polo," Tony said brightly, patting one of the ponies on the neck. Like the rich boy he was. Who literally played this while at school.
Steve's eyes rolled. "Ah, yes, the sport of the common man."
Tony hugged his pony, shooting the other teacher a wounded look. "He's just mad because he doesn't know how to ride. We'll cover that first," he promised the class. "There are helmets that you will all be putting on regardless of if you feel silly in them."
"And you will feel silly in them," Steve added, grinning. "You'll look pretty silly, too."
Thank you, Steve. Fortunately there was a PSA on the importance of helmets that the kids could watch!
They had one for every occasion. Seriously, kids.
"Alright, everyone pick a pony--or horse in Captain Rogers' case--and carefully mount up. I'll be here if you have any trouble with it. You'll probably be sore after this, just as a warning," Tony said.

Zombie movies.
So many zombie movies.

Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
And dead people!
"And riding horses is for everyone else?"
Except for Norman, who was totally going to nope out of the pony today. Nope.
Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
Unless you hated horses.
Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
Yeah, Norman was looking so, so dubiously toward the horses.
"... I mean, they're kind of huge."
Even the ponies. Anything larger than a big dog was pretty much an instant nope.

"They bite?"
Here he'd been worried about being trampled.

Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
"Well... what upsets them?"
Norman was maybe letting some nervousness show, now. A little. Ghosts were easy. Horses were solid.

"... Like, the sound velcro makes? It wasn't just a horse that panicked whenever it saw a pair of sneakers, right?"
He had to check these things. He'd been living on the island for long enough to realize it warranted checking.
Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
"Potentially your horse," Norman supplied with a shrug.

Re: Watch the Instructional Video!
"Bunnies? Because they... wiggled their noses? Or dug holes, I guess. A hole in the ground can't be good for a horse."
It really, really wasn't.
