Hey!
I just got back from working with Valley. I am at my g-parents house typing this (the g-p's next door not the one in Arkansas that were were at yesterday) on their laptop. Oh, we got internet back now! YEAH! Anyways, today is the 21st so I wormed the horses. Valley did pretty good, but she did her usual silly face (When I get a picture of it, I will post it on here [:-]. <-That looks like Frankenstien!). Chloe was kinda hard to do, cause she is bigger, and there is so much to put in her mouth. Afterwards she had a green foamy mouth! OK now to Valley's work:
After I had wormed her (I did Chloe after I was done working with Valley) I flexed her (of course), and then I desinsitized her to the handy stick and string. My schedule said I was supposed to desinsitize her to the leadrope too, but I did that the other day, and she's pretty good at it, and I was going to after the other stuff if I had time (cause I didn't go out till almost 6!) and me and Valley weren't to tired. After I did the desinsitizing to the handy stick and string (which to up most of the time. My arm was KILLING me! OK not really killing me, but you know what I mean, right?) I worked with her on disengaging her hindquarters. She did real well! I'm not sure if I did, but she did good! Well, that's about it, so TTUL!
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
