"When horses stumble, they often break the bearing-rein, and thus getting the head free, are enabled to save themselves. We all know, that when a horse is down, the first thing done is to give him his head, that he may get up... the surest way to keep a horse on his legs, is at all times to give him the free use of his head."
"'That's exactly where I wanted the horse,' Zito said. 'Everything was perfect. That's the way the horse wants to run, so you've got to give him his head.'"
