which_chickThyme did fine today, as expected. I read some of Dorrance's True Horsemanship Through Feel last night over dinner (curried cauliflower and rice, mmm-mmm good!) and so worked on some of that stuff today along with the planned walk-under-saddle. Absolutely nothing exciting happened there but she's progressing well with the picking up of feet. Tomorrow we are trying on bridles to see how all of that goes. I need to do some lateral under-saddle work with Nick. I also need to order a neoprene girth in "pony" size.
I read the "All education is despotism" thing over at Critical Mass and I got to thinking about education. Mostly I hated being educated, but it took me years to figure out that the way *education* felt about me was mostly institutional and not personal. In the process of me thinking about education, I ran across my first grade teacher's email address. She's still teaching, which you wouldn't think was possible because she'd have to be getting a bit long in the tooth -- but Miss Boyd (still Miss Boyd, btw.) was a first year teacher when I showed up in her first grade class. I'm contemplating whether or not I should email her and apologize for my first-grade self.
