Yesterday!

Hello Guys and Gals!
OK, I think all of you are GALS, but anyways.

Yesterday Jessica came over to help me with Valley. We first watch part of a yearling DVD by Clinton Anderson. Then we headed down to the pasture. I fed Chloe (who was in only one on the barn side of the pasture!) Me and Jessica walked down to the meadow (the other side of the pasture) and Valley was grazing with Bully (our young bull). She came (sorta) to us, but she realized we were going to catch her so she ran to the barn. So we walked back up there, and caught her.
Jessica worked with her for awhile on lots of stuff. Like lunging, disengaging the hindquarters etc...
About half an hour before we had to leave, Jessica was showing me how to do some things. Then we took her home, and she was trying to show me a video, but after a few minutes I had to go, so she'll have to show me sometime when I go over there. Well, talk to y'all later!

Love,
Sarah


P.S. I wormed the horses Friday, and Valley did the same as last time, stuck her lip up in the air. Then when I was leaving the barn, she came out and starting sticking her lip up towards me! LOL. I got to get that on film sometime!
