Omer 2019 Day 43: Chesed in Malchut, Loving-Kindness in Leadership
Horses
Whether domesticated or wild, horses are a good example of loving-kindness in leadership. Domestic horses are led by their riders or owners for work or leisure purposes, but as with most things, commands given with patience and loving-kindness often yield the most positive results. Wild horses exhibit this too in their own way. Horses live in large herds (when populations allow), and males lead their harems (groups of females) to the best grazing areas with the sweetest grass. They fight off other males with a fierce passion, and defend their territories with equal force. These are things we want in a leader - passion, kindness, care for those in your community.
