This was the first time he got a bedtime story. I had been reading in the dirt when he decided it was bedtime. Normally, horses will stay standing until everyone and everything is gone from the immediate area. It's part of their prey nature. However, my boy laid right down and set his head on my lap, a major sign of trust. I began reading to him and he eventually fell asleep. I felt so proud that he trusted me enough to go to sleep in the presence of a predator (me).
