“GIVE A HORSE ITS HEAD” : To allow a horse to gallop by lengthening the reins.

The War Horse
“Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? Can you frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; he gallops into the clash of arms.
He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; nor does he turn back from the sword. The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and javelin.
He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of captains and shouting,” Job 39:19-25.
