Hi everyone, I am finally trying to write #7 of the Sunshadow series and I'm jumping ahead to when they're in flight school. But I don't remember how old they are when they have flight classes. Do you guys know?
Jennifer responded to it and this is what she wrote (I copied and pasted the email):
Dear Jonathan,
I love the name you chose for the toy! Pegasi join flight school when they are yearlings and it last for a full year. Before that, it goes like this. Foal are allowed to fly as high as the trees. Weanlings are allowed to fly to the lowest clouds and back, and they can migrate with the herd. But it's in flight school that they learn aerial and battle maneuvers, how to fly in storms and at high speeds, how to use the clouds to hide, and how to fly higher--things like that. I hope this helps! Jennifer
Actually there is a form that if you send her your question from there she'll answer it within a few weeks, here's the link for that: theguardianherd.com/contact
Well anyway in #7 of Sunshadow they will be weanlings. I was going to add a bit about them in flight school, but if that starts when they are yearlings, then I won't include that part.
I think, once they are able to fly above the trees (weanling) then they go into flight school. Then, flight school ends when they turn 1.
Remember in Windborn *SPOILER ALERT IN WINDBORN!* when Star turns 2, Frostfire says something like this, "You're not a yealing anymore! Congradulations! You don't have to take flight school anymore." or something like that. Am i the only one who remembers that?
I'm looking at Shadepebble's Capture right now, in the part where she's in flight school. It says: Shadepebble flew to the tops of the trees and then back down, practicing landings over and over again like a weanling. I'm pretty sure that means they start when they are weanlings.
That would make sense, I'm reading "Shadepebble's Capture" and most of the flight school participants are yearlings, but it also says that Shadepebble needed to practice landings, "like a weanling." I think that means that they start when they are weanlings, have flight school through their first birthday, and graduate when they are yearlings.
Wow! Congrats!! And ooooooohhhhh!! That makes more sense
the toy she is referring to is Wintermist, I won the October giveaway and chose the pegasus toy

Thanks, just sent her the question.

She can see this, right? If you can see this, Jennifer, how old are flight school students?
This seams like a question to ask Mrs. Alvarez
Yeah, but she still had trouble with usual flying maneuvers because of her wings.
It didn't say that directly, but it said she was good at flying circles because of her different-sized wings.
In Shadepebble's Capture it would say that because she was bad at landing because her wings were different sizes.

I remember Frostfire saying that Star wasn't a yearling, but I don't think he said anything about flight school.

They start when they are yearlings, not weanlings.
They can fly above the trees when they are a weanling, but they don't start flight school until the are yearlings.
Yeah, that sounds right.

I think when they turn a weanling. Cause then they can fly above treez. But idk. I think that is right
