Jill watched in awe as the woman used the HORSE to discipline her 4 yr old to put down the lunge whip. She told the horse to step forward toward the child, who was flinging it around a fair bit actually, and the giant gelding did. step. nudge. step. nudge. long reins, head down. nudge.
The child dropped it on feeling the horse's nose and went and sat on the fence rail as his mother had been telling him to do.
The rider and Jill were talking about the news in the harness racing scene, "if some guy was using electric shock in the warm up, that IS disgusting." Jill said.

When she got home, Roomie had news. He's hitting on you!" Jill exclaimed, rereading the email. "Well, if he is, he can take a number" Roomie replied, glad of the smile, ha.
Jill said her student did the reverse all wrong and then explained herself, "When you drew it in the sand it looked like a triangle"
And she blathered on about how the Olympian asked her, after 10 seconds of observing her riding, have you had a horse that took off on you? Yikes. Did she ride that defensively?
Jill said the lunch date was nice, "I liked the sandwiches we made at his house and I like the tea and I liked the apples, but he doesn't make me laugh."
