Well, it was a little subtle, but also perhaps somewhat ambiguous. The metaphorical stable contains not only hobby horses and stalking horses, but trojan horses and gift horses too, not to mention my personal favorite, the talking horse who never spoke unless he had something to say.

The botanical side is a little sparser, there was the old movie Straw Dogs which was maybe sort of violent but I never saw it. The man who really had a handle on straw, of course, was Rumpelstiltksin, but he had other problems.
