Salon does not know the difference between a bosal and a hackamore you should not be surprised if he mixes up terms such as dominion versus domination. Two groups of Arabs were fighting in the desert until finally one tribe took off, they were riding black horses, they were pursued by a battalion on white horses. After several miles galloping in the hot sun the tribe being pursued stopped and their chief said "there is no point fleeing they are riding white horses which are the favorite of Allah and cannot be outrun", and they waited to be captured. About the same time the chief that was in charge of the pursuit stopped and said to his warriors, "There is no point pursuing them, they are on black horses and Allah made them to be swifter than the wind, they will not be outrun", and they turned and went home. Technically a white horse should be able to out run a dark colored horse in hot desert conditions, all top distance horses are grey. ansata.com The Arabs invented the hackamore, they tied a rope around around the bottom part of the nose piece and used one horse hair rein on the left side to steer their mount. They usually rode at night and always rode mares. I am posting this simply to illustrate how uninformed Salon is on such a wide variety of topics.
