If a man wants to make a useful war-horse look
						more stately and showy when ridden, he must avoid pulling his mouth with the
						bit, and using the spur and whip, means by which most people imagine that
						they show off a horse. In point of fact the results they produce are the
						very opposite of what they intend. For by dragging the mouth up they blind their horses instead of letting them
						see ahead, and by spurring and whipping, flurry them so that they are
						startled and get into danger. Or, reading
							 δινεύειν , which occurred to
							Pollack and the translator independently, twist about, indulge in
							reactions. This is much more probable. That is the behaviour of
						horses that strongly object to being ridden and that behave in an ugly and
						unseemly fashion.
