When I think about this scene, I think about the way this show designs characters. We generally agree that the main and supporting cast possess traits akin to their species—PC is finicky and detached from morality like a cat, Mr. PB has his doglike personality, Bojack is stubborn, etc. People often ponder if/how BJ’s horseness plays a role in his “born broken”-ness.
Seldom do I see people mention how when wild horses are domesticated, they are “broken”. There’s a lot to be said there, but I think Beatrice is acknowledging the generational trauma BJ’s bloodline has endured, while refusing to take any responsibility for how she perpetrated it. I also wonder if Bojack would’ve been happy running off with the wild horses.
