So far we have described how to avoid being
						cheated in buying a colt or a horse, how to avoid spoiling him in usage and
						how to impart to a horse all the qualities required by a cavalryman for war.
						It is time perhaps to give directions, in case one has to deal with a horse
						that is too spirited or too sluggish, for the correct way of managing
						either. First, then, it must be realised that spirit
						in a horse is precisely what anger is in a man. Therefore, just as you are
						least likely to make a man angry if you neither say nor do anything
						disagreable to him, so he who abstains from annoying a spirited horse is
						least likely to rouse his anger.
