Day Fifteen

If one looked at our class today, they might have thought that we made even less progress today when in fact, today was the sign I was looking for. We honestly accidentally stumbled upon the idea of running them around the round pen until they were wore out. My thought process in this was that not only were they getting energy expelled, but we were controlling their actions as long as we stopped and started them on our terms. I'm certain we pushed them farther than they would have run, but the two Mustangs were responsive to us. They were running, but they were not running with the wild fear in their eyes that they did when we first chased them around the round pen a month ago. Their body language clearly said that they were at least listening to us if not submitting to us. Sara got mad when she came up later and we "ignored" the signs of submission Bob Marley was giving. I was not ignoring them, it was difficult to do anything with him when Goose was near him. We managed to get so close to them while they were at liberty and they were both so relaxed...I think I'm more excited about that than anything else. Tomorrow's another day.
