  • Despite being on an entirely different level than her husband, I absolutely adore the idea that he’s still the responsible parent and still has kind of a “final say so” and has to reign her in from time to time.

  • Oooh, I love Boss Lamb being a bit submissive and vulnerable for a change.

    As fewer and fewer people have contact with horses, the meanings of horsy metaphors tend to blur and become lost. It's REIN her in, not "reign." Ditto "Give her free REIN" and "the REINS of power." I see "reigns of power" a lot.

    Another example: people sometimes write "chomping at the bits" (as in munching fragments, I guess) for "champing at the bit."
