It is upon horses that gods and heroes are 

 painted riding: and men who are able to manage 

 them skilfully are regarded as deserving of admi- 

 ration. So extremely beautiful and admirable 

 and noble a sight is a horse that bears himself 

 superbly that he fixes the gaze of all who see 

 him, both young and old: no one, indeed, leaves 

 him or is tired of contemplating him as long as he 

 continues to display his magnificent attitudes. 



— Xenophon.
