Chapter 2 = A Lesson in Many Ways: Dafi walked up to the girl as she leaned against her horse as she was filing her nails. She looked over at the attendant who was standing there to keep the horse under control and the attendant rolled her eyes towards the young girl dressed in pink; clearly not very thrilled to be there.

           “Hello there dear,” Dafi said kindly as she approached the girl. When it came to teenager students Dafi was never really sure which one of her “teaching personas” to take on. Some teenagers enjoyed the way she taught children and her more fun and goofy personality, and some teenagers preferred she teach them like she taught adults; more serious and extremely professional. Every student was different, so Dafi had to feel them out a little as a person first. Looks could be deceiving, but this young blonde girl definitely had the look of the spoiled little Daddy’s Girl.

           “Don’t call me dear! That sound so condescending.” Were the first words out of the girls’ mouth; perhaps she had the personality to match that as well.

           “Oh,” Dafi responded. “My apologies. Miss, uh... Violet was it?” Dafi already knew her students’ name, but she thought it more proper to let a student introduce themselves. Dafi waited for a moment for the girl to do just that but instead all she got as an answer to her question was an annoyed nod to confirm it. “Um, alright then. Well, my name is Dafi. I will be your riding instructor. It’s uh... nice to meet you Violet.”

           “Yeah, whatever.” The younger girl said in return. “My parents are just making me do this because they think it’ll be good for me. They tell me that I should get out of the house more. So, their idea of doing something fun and exciting is apparently running around with big smelly horses and getting all muddy. Woo-hoo...”

           Dafi was already very sick of this girls’ attitude. Especially when she started insulting her horses. She’d dealt with rotten students in the past though, maybe she could turn things around with this girl and she could actually have some fun. “Oh don’t worry,” Dafi said, as friendly as she could manage. “I promise you this’ll be fun. You just gotta give it a chance! It’s never too late for a young girl to learn something new.” The face the girl gave her was practically a groan all in itself; but Dafi did her best to try to ignore it.

           She started the lesson by leading the girl out further into the field that they would be able to practice on once she actually got on a horse. She had the girl grab hold of the reigns of her horse and lead it, which she managed to do quite well. Perhaps there was hope after all.

           Dafi patted her beloved Joker on the side of his long flowing mane. “So this big guy is Joker. He is what we call an aged horse. That refers to a horse that’s about 15 years old or older.” Dafi chuckled. “Believe it or not, this guy is older than you are.” Dafi had been trying to make a joke but she saw a hostile shift in body language as the younger girl looked up at Joker, apparently upset to find out that yet another creature around her was older than her. This Violet girl clearly didn’t like it when she wasn’t the one in control of a situation. She probably wasn’t use to it with butlers or even her parents constantly at her beck and call. Dafi tried to shake the girls’ look off and continue her lesson. “On the other hand, your little sweetheart there is only a little filly. A filly refers to a female horse that is no older than four years old. Isn’t she such a little cutie? I think you guys will make a good team.” Dafi hadn’t realized that it was a very wrong thing to say until she’d already said it.

           “What’s that supposed to mean?!” Violet said angrily. “What because we’re both “Little Girls”?” Dafi was shocked, clearly this girl had some issues to work through.

           “Huh? No, not at all. I just meant that...”

           “I’m sick of people treating me like I’m too young to do anything. I can ride a stupid horse just fine!” Dafi was a little horrified as she watched the girl physically push aside the young filly and cause the animal to become a little distressed despite its training and start to walk off. Dafi dropped Joker’s reigns and went to fetch the filly before she wandered too far.

           “Violet! How dare you... hey!” Dafi turned back to look at the younger girl who was pulling herself up onto Joker’s back. “Hey!” Dafi repeated. “Violet, get down from him!” The younger girl completely ignored her and smirked as she positioned herself onto Joker’s back and took hold of his reigns.

           “Okay you stupid horse,” She said to the large black stallion. “Come on let’s go.” The girl whipped the reigns and begin kicking Joker’s sides. The well-trained horse quickly picked it up and began galloping. Dafi’s eyes went wide as she saw her horse start to pick up speed. She tried to call out commands to get Joker to stop but he couldn’t hear her from the distance between them and the yells and shouts that Violet was screeching as she rode on top of the powerful creature. Dafi started running towards the galloping horse, knowing that there was no way that this was going to end well. Joker was doing as he was told as Violet kept kicking him relentlessly. His gallop quickly increased speed little by little. Except Joker was heading near the fence of the field! Doing what he had been trained to do, Joker leaped the fence, but Violet hadn’t been ready for that. As the large horse flew over the fence gracefully, just as he had been trained to do, Violet flew in the opposite direction as she fell off of him. Luckily for her landing right into a large pile of hay. As Dafi ran towards the squirming and angry girl flailing about in the hay, she had no idea where the following conversation was gonna lead her to...
