I've experienced it twice in my life, once with a flock of birds that are usually very skittish. And once with a herd of about 20+ wild horses running towards me. It was exhilarating. And humbling. I felt so honored that they trusted me (and in the instance with the wild horses, I also trusted them not to hurt me).

This is a lovely video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
