lol that NIEN made me laugh. :P

i always thought of showing the horse who's boss as "i will show you which way to go and we can go together" or something like that. as working together as a team but the rider being the guide. i can't explian it very well. buti hate it when people jerk and whip thier horses around trying to "show them who's boss"
