It is just the standard story people use to make heads of states seem cool, more a metaphor for their leadership of their country than a thing that they pretend actually happened. Famously, Alexander the Great tamed [[Bucephalus]] and [[George Washington]] [https://teachinghistory.org/history-content/ask-a-historian/21573 tamed a colt]. All so-called untameable horses that were tamed by a horsewhisperer with near-magical powers. [[Userolygnotus|Polygnotus]] ([[User talkolygnotus|talk]]) 08:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC) | |
