What is The Riding Lesson about?

Frances adores horses and eagerly anticipates her first riding lesson at her friend Mae's farm. However, she soon realises that caring for and riding a horse like Snowball is more challenging than she imagined. With Mae's guidance, Frances learns the importance of patience and courage, discovering that the reality of horse riding, though different from her dreams, is even more rewarding.
