I have been really enjoying my sorting lessons on Friday
afternoons. For those of you who don’t know what that is . . . I am riding my
horse with cows and cutting the cow I want away from the others. For this sport
the cows have numbers on their backs. A number is called as the time starts and
the horse and rider go after that number. Each team has two horses and riders.
One stays at the gate and doesn’t let any others through except the correct
number. The cows are sorted in order according to the numbers on their backs.
Seyvilla loves working with the cows and is still trying to
figure out exactly what I want her to do at any given time. It is fun that she
is enjoying it because that makes it more fun for me too! Now as I get my
techniques down I would really like to look like I am enjoying it. My teacher
had to ask me if I was enjoying it because I wasn’t smiling. That is part of
what I want to work on this next week.
