Does that ritual work on temperamental horse owners too? A veterinary friend of mine wants to know...
Older horse books, pre-motor vehicle, have extensive material about "bad horses". That's rarely seen today. Most of the problems came from people who had no real ability or desire to deal with horses. Today, those are the people you see driving cars with dents in the front fenders.
The real gems are in the linked set of academic publications (links with a 'J'), a further dive into the oral history of horsemanship. And the process of accessing it as an outsider.
