The time and training had played off, and Heath even thought that his slightly smaller presence at the stables since the birth of his and Ruri’s puppies had as well. He had to be there for his mate first and foremost now that their boy and girl had been born. They needed attention and the new mother needed to be relieved of the strenuous work of mother hood, though the silver collie did not show any stress, and glowed in the presence of her young. Of course the male could not stay in their cabin for every hour of the day, and visited daily. That was when he worked with the painted stallion. The lack of attention was making him more prone to allowing Heath to break him of his wild nature , seeking it out himself and cooperating in order to receive it, so much so that he was able to saddle and ride him. The time and concentration was good for the new father, for it trained his focus and made it easier for him to leave his home and work without a trouble misguided focus in the transition.
He could leave the cabin, take the stallion and keep him mind on the black and white’s gait beneath him, the tension that was given when he pushed beyond the young horse’s comfort and the ease that came when he calmed and accepted it without constantly worrying about his small family.
And so the Marshal set off in a western direction, taking the painted horse on the longest of journeys yet. He had needed to take this trip months ago, but life threw him distractions that had kept him from doing so. But now Soucis had calmed, though there was still a lack in the connection Heath had hoped to hold with him, and he could test their feeble bond by traveling to the tribe’s boundaries. It was where the fence came into view that the black armed waited, sitting upon the patched stallion and sent a call through the air that was high and spoke of his heavy coyote blood. He spoke her name in the howl, seeking a single female and the mare he had seen her enchant.
