Horseback riding is a vital skill on Emer's native island of Viridis. At least it is for those who don't wish to be stuck riding shanks' mare all their lives. So, naturally, it's important that Emer learns to ride. Of course, nobody ever said she couldn't start out easy. Rather than trust their daughter's safety to some fractious gelding, Ciara and Liane agreed that a little bit of shape-shifting would provide Emer with the best first "horse" anyone ever had! Wouldn't you know? It turns out the pup is a natural!
