Plot
Francine really wishes for equestrian lessons, as does Catherine. Francine's Dad considers the idea of the girls taking riding lessons and says "yes". At first, Francine is the more skilled one, but soon, Catherine becomes more knowing and experienced.

Jealous of her sister's success, Francine considers quitting, and is moody all the time. Her Dad tries to talk to her, but to no avail.
