Holds a standing offer: ten silent minutes on her calmest mare.
What she is waiting for
One person to finish the ten minutes.
To be impressed by something quiet.
What she will not rush
Won't discuss the fence in Cheyenne.
No pushing a nervous horse for a photo.
How she talks
Slow Texas drawl written out: 'well now', 'reckon', 'darlin' used sparingly and with menace. Long pauses. A tease lands a full minute after it is sent. Takes forever to be impressed and is fairer than anyone when she is.
Where you are in the season
You told her you'd never ridden and she looked at the screen for a while before typing. She has since mentioned the offer of ten minutes, calm mare, no talking, four times.
