When she's given an orphaned COLT, the narrator of Mud Pony is ecstatic--she's always wanted to raise the perfect EQUINE partner. But this horse is flighty, traumatized, and sometimes dangerous. An adventurous city girl and HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER, the narrator seeks help from a neighborly team of Guadalajaran VAQUEROS, a rodeo clown turned HORSE WHISPERER, a young, FEMALE HORSE TRAINER, and a rehabilitated thoroughbred. Driven by a fascination for what expert horseman and cowboys call "FEEL" or an ability to communicate with the HORSE as a willing partner, the narrator chronicles a woman's seemingly unsuccessful attempt to tame a horse that is more wild animal than domesticated pet. In the process, Mud Pony REVEALS HOW HUMANS CAN SHIFT THEIR PERSPECTIVE ON HUMAN-ANIMAL RELATIONSHIPS WHEN THEY RECOGNIZE AND ACCEPT WHAT REMAINS INCONTROVERTIBLY WILD. A braided narrative and PERSONAL MEMOIR about the intersection of Body, Mind & Spirit, Mud Pony weaves descriptions of CALIFORNIA COASTAL RANCH LIFE with SAN FRANCISCO'S MISSION DISTRICT, and moments with the narrator's students and country-wise husband.
