When the round-up is complete and the gates of the stockade have been slammed, then comes 

 the moment of indignity. The horse attains the zenith of its powers in the service of man, 

 but first it has to be broken to the will of man and it fights desperately for the freedom it has 

 left behind. It is odd that the English, with their long love for horses, should use the term 

 horse-breaking, for what we really mean is horse-making. In Chile they speak of 'horse- 

 gentling'.
