Week 3: Strong Tower Ranch
I started off this week with barn chores such as cleaning out stalls, feeding the horses and letting them out. Once they were out to pasture, I helped two sweet old ladies clean up a butterfly garden by racking all of the dead leaves off of the beds. The weather was gorgeous and I enjoyed their company as they teased each other back and forth and inspired me with their life stories and faith through their trials. It was a very peaceful way to start the week.
I will go back to helping with programs and horsemanship throughout the rest of the week and hope to continue riding and working on my own ground work as well.
Monday night, I was able to take my family and Joy out to the ranch to watch a performance done by all of the girl wranglers with a special senior performance with letters and speeches. It is set up is parallel to how we conduct our senior nights. The performance was created to give a visual demonstration of the scripture that the girls had been studying throughout the year as they volunteered. The best way I can describe the type of riding is like a dance team. Each horse and rider had their own pattern in the arena that all came together to make a production. It was very heartwarming and reflected a deeper aspect to the ranch.
