Why praus?

“The Greek word Praus (prah-oos) was used to define a horse trained for battle. Wild stallions were brought down from the mountains and broke for riding. Some were used to pull wagons, some were raced, and the best were trained for warfare. They retained their fierce spirit, courage, and power, but were disciplined to respond to the slightest nudge or pressure of the rider’s leg. They could gallop into battle at 35 miles per hour and come to a sliding stop at a word. They were not frightened by arrows, spears, or torches. Then they were said to be meeked. To be meeked was to be taken from a state of wild rebellion and made completely loyal to, and dependent upon, one’s master. When a horse passed the conditioning required for service, its state was described as praus.”
