To settle the horses #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 20, 2009 11:52 am   To settle the horses
 

What does it mean to settle the horses? I found it in the following sentence: "[Gordon Brown's] deep Scottish voice and serious mien settled the horses." - in the context of Britain's problems.

Thanks in advance!
