Costume postscript

After the first Denver BreyerWest, Erin Corbett gave me a bunch of brightly colored pom pom headbands that had been worn by the judges during the open show.

I took them to the barn and put them on all the horses.

Oh, how I miss some of those horses!

Five years is a long time, but somehow the orange headband is still kicking around my house. 

This morning, I picked it up and took it with me to the barn.

I put it on Sage in the traditional, above-the-eyes position.

She was deeply unimpressed.

After several failed attempts to get her to show some expression, I moved it down her nose.

All of a sudden, she was so interested.

She kept raising her nose higher and higher, trying to get a better look.

Such a funny girl!

Last year on Halloween, she was a completely unhandled wild horse.

Now she's this.

I'm so glad I still had that headband. It was perfect for Sage today. Thanks again, Erin. You were right. I really did need those!
