As quoted from “On The Art of Horsemanship"
“So when he is induced by a man to assume all the airs and graces which he puts on himself when he is showing off voluntarily, the result is a horse that likes to be ridden, that presents a magnificent sight, that looks alert, that is observed of all the observers.”
Xenophon, 355 B.C.E.
