Tune Ups

if Jill were to get on ponies just after her students had been on them, she is sure she would set about giving the equine partner a wee tune up. why then had she left her feelings get hurt when her teacher clearly had to give Jill's last mount some extra work?

She should be glad some else was making the ponies more "well-schooled" than even she could make them!

One thing I love about taking people on a tour of the property at this place, is the colourful bouquet of ponies. We can do an actual lesson in colours and markings as I point out who is who in the herd because we have such a collection. One bay, a few black with different markings, a few greys and some grey roans, chesnut, liver chesnuts and some that i have to look up in a book. i think they might be sorrels you know because they've got the chesnut body colour but flaxen manes and tails...

Jill's enthusiasm was contageous!

People were dropping off cheques, student registration forms and waivers every day! Soon she'd have the 15 she'd predicted!
