2 Free Equine Training Sessions with Peggy Murray of Gentle Touch Training, Colchester, VT.  Two lessons can be either round pen or long line and do expire 9/1/13.  
Peggy Murray has over 25 years of experience working and training horses of all shapes and sizes. Peggy specializes in the rehabilitation of neglected and abused horses.  Peggy strives to share the art and joy of building friendships with horses to help break through the isolation of abuse.  Peggy strongly believes in  using centuries old bond between humans and horses to learn trust, respect, and loving partnerships.”

Here is what Lousia M. had to say about Peggy:
“I met Peggy Murray about 3 years ago when she began working with my neighbors and their horses. I was impressed with Peggy's energy, demeanor and abilities. Also, I admired Peggy's commitment to aiding the owners and animals to find new ways to experience each other. Peg's goal is to help them learn to trust and enjoy each other through methods mastered with patience and diligence which she teaches with great care. I realized that Peggy was someone I could learn from and have since started to work with her on a regular basis to develop my riding skills and to successfully relate to horses. My life is enriched by time spent with the horses and learning from Peg. I believe all of us benefit from affirming and collaborative relationships.”

(2) Sterling Silver Rings Handcrafted by Jen Soderberg, Manchester Vermont
“Working from my studio in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, I transform my original designs into quality sterling silver jewelry.
…As far back as I can remember, I've always made jewelry, from paperclip necklaces at my father's desk, to fishing-lure bracelets on family vacations. It wasn't until college, however, and my first class in metals, which I began to consider jewelry making as a profession”.
