Moments on Mars

"it's funny how the sheep and giant, furry lama flocking to the fence didn't freak him at all, but he almost ditched me spooking at a tree branch lying on the edge of the field" Jill said, returning from the give-the-talented-school-pony-a-change-of-scenery-ride. "He took off on me once too, so that's good right?" she added, to the surprise of the working students. "Afterall, the idea is to get him going forward!"

the next day, it took several minutes to get past the parked horse trailer. and, in general, he was much spookier than the day before... when jill got back to the barn she survey everyone
is it possible that the scent of nearby lambs and lamas were actually comforting him the day before???
