The episode where Bojack almost commits suicide and then sees the horses running, the horses seem to change his mind but I never understood why. What are the reminding him of or representing?

i think the symbolysm of a “horse” and “preforming” shouldn’t be lost on the viewer, yet it seems to be one of the most missed points in the show. Horses generally have 2 purposes, to preform and to work. and what do we do when they cant do either of those anymore? we kill them.
Think about how bojack, his dad and secretariat all share in this delemia. they all thrive for the want to “work” to “be somthing” they all want to “write somthing”, “win a race” or “be in a famous tv show” and the moment they CANT what happens to them?
Spoiler:>! they all die… except bojack kinda!<
bojacks purpose is to prefor. think about the “just keep dancing” song, to him stopping meansd DEATH similar to how horses are used in todays society
the wild horses represent the complete opposite. Bojack sees them running and realises that there might be a life outside of our social norms which makes life LIFE not a never ending dance. they represent the spirt of life without the pressure to live up to our own or other peoples standards to live life simply as it is, as a wild horse not a clydesdale pulling a cart or a show pony er… showing? they represent what he COULD be what he MIGHT have been
sadly for hm and many others. life comes calling and keeps us from that freedom
I like this one :)
Did you mean perform instead of preform or am I just not understanding?
