Forest Shadow learns the first lesson of basic training. Duck! Or parry. I'm not sure which, but either way he clearly needs more practice. Get back in there!

Don't worry, he'll be OK since all the weapons are all foam. This is my second submission for Equestria Daily's drawing event, so everything is PG(-ish). You are indeed looking at a gryphon training dummy.
