We follow Francesca along to a riding stable for lessons. The place is called Ciampacavallo and its peculiarity is that its horses would have ended their lives badly, had it not been for this charitable organization.

Francesca starts her lessons at the stable by taking a halter and lead rope to go and meet a young horse by the name of Stella.

While Francesca is getting ready to lead Stella to the round pen, we find out why horses don't like being looked at. We also discover that the horses at this stable go shoeless and without bits. And yes, Francesca does finally get on the horse!
