Put your daughter in the barn.
Put an animal before her and watch as magic takes shape. Watch as she learns every aspect of that animal. Watch as she learns to care about herself. See character built. See self respect blossom.
Put your daughter in the barn.
Stand quietly by as she watches life begin and end. Feel her Spirit find its confident path. Let the barn teach the lessons of life as only the barn can do. From good sportsmanship to a humble champion put your daughter in the barn. Let the stalls bear witness to her tears over that first crush. Let the shavings and straw with a pitchfork in hand bear the brunt of her anger.
Put your daughter in the barn.
And when time comes calling and adulthood looms...what an amazing daughter you will see. All for the love of a beautiful barn.
Put your daughter in the barn.
