On August 27th we decided to enlarge Maverick's pen. This would not only give him more room to stroll about but would give me more room to teach him to lead. While Maverick was eating Jim and I went about the task of adding two more panels to his pen. In the process of moving the panels about I dropped one. It hit the ground with a loud crash...I quickly looked at Maverick, looked at the hole in the fence where the panel was supposed to be standing and thought here we go; or more to the point there he goes! Maverick didn't even jump. He just looked up from his hay to see what all the commotion was about and went back to eating. He has amazed me time and time again with his calm, trusting demeanor. This is a horse that just a little over a month ago (he was gathered on 7/10/06) was in the wilds of Nevada. He is a real treasure.
