Horse Ride

To Eustace, this is just one more challenge and adventure he is making for himself. Also, this particular adventure was important to him because he wanted to make the relationship he had with his brother stronger and better than it was. The over all plan for this journey, in Eustace's head, was to make it across the country by Easter, while testing the limits of how long and hard both the horses and the Long Riders could go. To me, while I was reading about their journey, the most important or interesting part of their journey was when Eustace trained this animal that couldn't be tamed, Peter Rabbit. The way Eustace reacted to this mule when he kicked his brother was a surprise, and the actions he took after the incident were even more surprising to me. He started fighting with the mule, both enduring physical pain, whether it be the biting and whipping coming from Eustace or the kicking of Peter Rabbit. For a long period of time their was constant abuse coming from one of them, and Judson and Susan just stared, scared to death. Eustace also talked to the animal also, in hopes of changing its temperament.What was amazing about this whole thing was I didn't expect Peter Rabbit to change. It was amazing to me that a few weeks later they sent a picture to his original owner, and all of his no no spots were being touched, and Peter Rabbit didn't seem phased at all. Out of all of the incidents that occurred on this journey, this was the one that stuck out the most.
