You lunged a horse with a chain in it's mouth?!
Thank god I don't board at a place like that and someone pull a stunt like that. I'd be out for blood!

Not as horrible as you might think. Certainly better than allowing herself to be dragged everywhere and Jackie is knowledgeable and careful enough to know how to use it right.

Now a chain across the gum would be a different story...
