So as per the request a bit ago I went and found the second part of the chapter which is now known as 'chapter 3'
********************************************

KTF and Raia were hanging out one night in the barns feed room prepping the evening grain and adding the vitamins to everything and discussing the others riding lessons.
        K, as much as I love them all, there is no way in hell that Im going to be dumb enough to put all four of them in one lesson Raia told her friend.
        Cmon Ri, it couldnt be that bad KTF replied
        You were watching the same thing I was today? Tony couldnt even mount right, much less ride and anyways I want Tony to first be on a lunge for a couple lessons, help him develop his balance on the horse first
        What about Kate and Abs?
        They have both done some riding, I might lunge them a bit in each type of saddle so they can feel how the balance is different in an English and Western saddle.
        So everyones going to have private lessons for now.
        Yep. And Gibbs is going to help me work Rose some, she was being a bit skittish when I took her out yesterday, and I dont want her spooking when someone else is riding her.
        You dont mind if she spooks when youre riding her? KTF teased
        Well I would mind, but I would at least be able to calm her down Raia shot back with a grin.
        Are you two done chatting in there, cause Ive already given all of them their hay, and they all are looking for their grain Gibbs said as he came in to the feed room after putting all the hay in the horses respective stalls.
        Yes Gibbs, almost there replied Raia as she finished the last grain bucket, and added to the two piles of buckets that were already done.

        Okay I called the house, the others should have dinner ready by the time we get there KTF said as she slipped into the feed room after feeding the goats.
        Nice, I hope the girls kept a closer eye on Tony this time Raia said with a smirk, as she climbed in to the golf cart, making the other two wince at the memory of the last time, when the girls gave Tony a simple job, making sure nothing burned while the worked on a complicated dessert, and he had let everything burn.
        Dinner that night was pasta, and had gone off without a hitch and Abby had made an amazing chocolate cheesecake that all adored.
        The next day both Abby and Kate had their first riding lessons, which went well, both showing themselves to be fast learners. Raia and KTF had also helped Slvr on working with her horse Satin and the pair was making good progress. Yet all knew the best was yet to come. Tonys lesson.
        The day was bright but chilly, and Raia had gotten up early to work with Rose, feed the horses and turn them out in the pastures. About 10ish Tony came for his first lesson. After he had tacked up Sassy, Raia made extra care that all the straps were properly done, even adding a breast band to make sure that the saddle wouldnt slip, before taking Sassy out to the arena, noticing that Abby, Kate and Gibbs were all watching, and she had a feeling that both KTF and Slvr would be out soon and then put a neck strap so there was something for Tony to hold on to and then clipped a lunge line to Sassy before getting Tony on and explaining what they were going to do that day. After getting Sassy moving at a nice walk and once Raia was sure she was properly warmed up, and thought Tony was comfortable at a walk, she asked if Tony if he wanted to a trot. Tony, being Tony said yes. Raia told him to just move with the horse. About this time Slvr and KTF were coming out to the arena

               
        As Slvr and I came around the side of the arena the sound of Raias annoyed, but wanting to laugh, voice; greets us Would you care to tell me how the hell, you managed to fall off a horse that is being lunged at a trot, in a WESTERN SADDLE???? definitely can hear Raias English riding roots there. The sight that greets us is an interesting one, to say the least. Raia is standing next to Sassy, petting her and giving her treats, seemingly to calm her down and peering at Tony, who is lying on the ground with Kate over him, checking him for injuries; while both Gibbs and Abby are sitting by the side, and laughing.
