Yes, the horse’s mouth was metaphorical, though I just realized it when I read your comment. Vanquishing problems through praise! Indeed!

A fascinating tale. Perhaps we could all substitute horses for our own particular fears? Though I find it hard to picture myself stroking or muttering praise endearments to a spider -urrgh!
