alexander the great acquired his warhorse bucephalus when he was in his teens. the story is that a horse dealer brought the horse to alexander's father, king philip of macedonia. the horse was spirited but totally unmanageable. however, alexander argued that he could tame him.
he took hold of the bridle, and turned the horse directly towards the sun, having observed that he was disturbed at the motion of his own shadow. he stroked the horse gently when he began to grow fiery. then, with one nimble leap, he securely mounted him. presently, when he found the horse free from all rebelliousness, he let him go at full speed without striking or spurring him.
