readers with a clear understanding of the positive and negative

joined the other 13 riders in the ring the first morning, Jake was a
bit overwhelmed. He was pretty wound up with all the activity and
just a step away from an out-of-mule-body experience. It occurred to

usually give us both Rescue Remedy when we face something new and
challenging. I took Jake back to the trailer and we both took a dose.
The rest of the morning went much better.
