How to tame a mare

I stepped out from under an awning into a cold rain. Finally my senses are trickling back to me. I've felt numb and lost but my identity has surfaced to my skin and I am living in it. It is still faint, but despite the couch staking wrong boyfriends television cool summer numbness post graduation resigned to coroporate life it has resurfaced.
Horses are flighty, naturally. You tame them with kindness and patience but testing them along the way, making sure they don't shy away from their potential. The unexpected will spook them, and negative experiences will each need to be re-visited and surmounted. Too many negative experiences will spawn an unpredictable creature, not allowing anyone to come near her let alone ride her. Much more rare is the wild spirit by heart, that will not be tamed no matter the patience, nor be broken, no matter the cruelty.
True taming does not require breaking of the spirit. A lack of sensitivity to the animal and the repeated exposure to harsh stimuli will slowly fissure it's sanity, eventually breaking the animal's mind in two. At this stage, the animal does not exhibit the unruly and skittish qualities as before, but has instead enabled its true, emotional mind along with its fears to distance itself from reality. The animal appears calm as it interacts with the outside world but in reality it is operating on a level of deadened sensation.
