the.com/bridle
the original power steering, run entirely through a horse's softest commands.
means A bridle is the headgear of straps, bit, and reins used to guide and control a horse; as a verb, to bridle means to restrain something — or to draw back your head and stiffen in offense.
from From Old English brÄ«del, the gear that bridles a horse, related to the verb bregdan, 'to pull or move quickly' — the same root that gave us 'braid,' a tugging and weaving of strands. The sense of a person 'bridling' in indignation comes from the image of a horse jerking its head up against the rein: the offended human, likewise, throws back the head and tightens at the slight.
