 I had a great day with Sage today.  I put my brush in my pocket before I went out into the round pen.  I caught Sage in her little pen.  She just lets me walk up to her without a flinch.  I led her out to the round pen and did a couple of things with her.  Like leading her.  Then I rubbed her neck and took out the brush.  Isn't her mane beautiful.  I was so proud of her to just stand there and let me without jumping or moving off.

Notice anything different?  Her halter?  I changed halters on her today without so much as a twitch.  I was so proud of her.  She just stood there and let me like we had done it every day.  I took the drag rope off.  I could have several days ago but did it today.  I was so proud of her.

 She has such a pretty face.   I also rubbed down her front legs clear to her hoof on this side and to her knee on the other side.  I could do it on all four feet with the stick.  I was jumping up and down and shouting hurrah inside.  This was the best day ever.  She acts like she really likes me.  I love her.
 
Today was the Census Bureau picnic.  I don't know if it was the Fourth of July picnic or just about over picnic.  I know I ate a lot.  It was fun.  By the end of July it will be all done with I believe.
