It was now September, and the weather was changing fast. He noticed that the dogs were staying away more all the time. Even Mouse was not to be seen for days at a time.
He was spending a lot of time with the horses now just to have something to do. The yearling was coming along nicely, she was quiet and curious about things.
Just by standing in the center of the pen and ignoring her while working on a halter, bridal, or saddle she had gradually worked her way over to him just to see what he was doing and gradually allowed herself to be brushed and made over.
After half a day of brushing and making over the yearling he was gradually able to work his way up to its head and ears.
With a lot of talking and slow movements he was able to slip the halter over its head and ears before buckling
