The Trip I Picked Out Sage

These pictures were all taken the first trip Nikki and I took together to Burns to the "Colorfest" and I picked out Sage.


This mare was good to look at but her front legs were goofy and she was a little aggressive when people went around their pen. I wanted a mare but she wasn't it.
A pretty young guy.



Out in the South Steens. I think these were the first one Nikki had seen.





This pretty mare. Not taken with a long lens. We were that close.







And my Sage. She doesn't look so big there but she is.


Today I had a good ride on her in the arena. We are having a little problem with stopping. I have to pop her on the shoulder with the rein ends. She will turn left great but right - is tougher. The wind was blowing a little and I did not want to press my luck any more. I did get a good half an hour in though.


Poor Wrangler has hives. We put him in a stall so we could give him Benadryl and wash him down with vinegar to take away some of the itch. He was fine yesterday but when I went to get this about 4 he was covered with welts. His face all over his big buckskin body. I know he is miserable. I do wish I knew what he was allergic to.


My brother in law is barely hanging on today. I do wish there was something I could do but all I can do is pray. My sister in law - Bob's brother's wife is bad too. Bob talked to Lynn this afternoon. She is breathing on her own though so that is good. Lord be with them, and us.
