On Learning Levels
When she was five, Sarah Lin and I were riding down the drive at a slow walk.
"Your horses' ancestors came from Spain and my ancestors came from China. They are very far apart, on different continents," she told me as we ambled along.
"That's right Sarah Lin. Now let's make a right turn with our right rein and our right leg," I responded.
"oh no. I can't do that. I only know my continents. I do not know my rights and lefts," she quickly explained
Sarah Lin is a very wise young lady. She is also quite a rider and we enjoyed watching her and the others that day. She looks very cute riding that stallion!
