We're concluding mounted archery with part 2, and part of that is teaching Brian and Jason how to ride a horse.This whole bit ran pretty long and honestly could have been an episode in itself, but I felt like including the whole process wouldn't benefit the actual episode much.

Sword and Buckler Fighting
We actually looked into getting a buckler just for everyday use so Brian could finally protect his hands, unfortunately Anthony and Bryant are all too familiar of Brian's reputation so they cornered the market in advance.
