Family Schooling Summary: Week 3 at Co-op and Fall Festival at the Horse Rescue

 A rooster that looks a lot like our Sunset.
 The one on the left is a tarantula eating a bird (copied from a nature book).
 Those crazy looking brown horns on the table are the overgrown hooves of a terribly neglected horse! They rescued him and show the "before" and "after" pictures as he was brought back to health.
 We watched a beautiful demonstration of horse-rider partnership.  This gal bought Starbucks from the rescue about 7 years ago and they warned her that he was too emotionally damaged.  And that he would probably not be a good partner and would possibly be aggressive and dangerous. She worked carefully with him and now she told us that their partnership was the best she had ever had with a horse.  She demonstrated that by riding him and then  JUMPING him without a bridle! She was just holding onto a rope loosely around his neck to keep from falling off. We were all spellbound by the demonstration. He performed beautifully for 30 minutes to loud music.
 Miss L is currently obsessed with horses and paid very close attention during the show.
 This was part of a little sheriff and deputy comedy routine.
