Hey!
I know I haven't written anything here in a long time. I am at my g-parents house right now. We just got back from my second (or third, it's so confusing!) cousin's wedding.
I Made a schedule for Valley's training! She probably won't learn the stuff as quick as my schedule says, but at least I have something to work with! It would have taken forever for me to train her without a schedule, cause I wouldn't have known what I was supposed to be doing with her. Well, anyways, I started the schedule Thursday, and I don't think I will be able to do it today, cause It's already 5:00PM and we are still at g-ma & g-pa's house. It takes 2 hours to get home, so it will definitely be dark when we get home. So I probably won't get to work with Valley, even though I really need to [:(. (<- that isn't a mole. It is a period at the end of my sentence!)
Anyways, Thursday all that I did was desensitizing to the handy stick (and flexing of course, I do that every time I work with her!). I would have done more, but I had to go back to the house because mom had to go tutor Conner (a kid who goes to our church), and she doesn't want me out in the pasture when she's gone (it was getting dark anyways). Friday (yesterday) I just did desensitizing to the lead rope cause I didn't get to that Thursday. I did some stuff Wednesday, but I don't remember what I did. At least I think I did some Wednesday. Hmm. I will write back A.S.A.P.!
Love, Love,
&
Sarah Valley

A lovely horse is always an experience.... It is an emotional experience of the kind that is spoiled by words. ~Beryl Markham
The horses paw and prance and neigh,Fillies and colts like kittens play,And dance and toss their rippled manesShining and soft as silken skeins;...~Oliver Wendell Holmes
