Day Eighteen, Part Deux

Mary and I went out after dinner and I got within four feet of him. It's physically exhausting to run with him through the sand in boots, but its even more mentally exhausting to be so in control of your body for so long. Mary said that I have a really good sense of how my body affects his. I hope that's true, if only because I've worked so hard at having more body awareness myself. Its not hard, the mustang is an incredible teacher. It takes so much thought and focus...all I want to do is sleep after I'm done working with him.

I have to say, running with a mustang is one of the cooler experiences I've ever had. He's not running away from me either, he's running with me as his herd member, and that's something not many people can claim. I am his herd member.
