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?

    Personally I think that it’s the wild horses. Unencumbered by burdens, expectations. They just as a community of horses (which is also a big thing for him, as he doesn’t have that at all, as shown in the horse show he felt a connection too)

    Running is a huge motif from the show, secretariats advice to Bojack was to “run and never look back” so he found that. The burden of mistakes he made, were too much so he found what he thought he wanted. Complete independence, free from consequence. (Though personally I don’t think he really wants that, as shown by a constant fear of being not only being alone but not being known of loved.
