In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", how is Brom Bones' horse, Daredevil, similar to him in its apperance and actions?

The narrator
makes explicit the similarity in temperament of Brom Bones and his horse by describing Daredevil
as "a creature, like himself, full of mettle and mischief."Irving stops short of
vilifying Brom Bones, as the narrator asserts "he was always ready for either a fight or a
frolic; but had more mischief than ill-will in his composition."The truth behind the prank
of the Headless Horseman should have been obvious to a man as intelligent and educated as
Ichabod Crane, but his fearful and superstitious nature makes him the perfect victim for Brom
Bones' practical joke.

Brom Bones is both a joker and a risk-taker, and
Daredevil is the perfect companion/accomplice for him.Brom Bones tells a story of racing the
headless Hessian, in which "Daredevil beat the goblin horse all hollow."

When Brom Bones and Daredevil first harass Ichabod Crane, Daredevil stays
intimidatingly close to Crane's horse, Gunpowder, and bullies him in the same manner that Brom
Bones is bullying Ichabod. The narrator describes Ichabod Crane's panic at Daredevil's pursuit
just before Brom Bones removes his pumpkin head and hurls it at the schoolmaster: "the
black steed panting and blowing close behind him."Brom Bones and Daredevil are both
physically imposing and aggressive, perfect foils for the effete Ichabod Crane and his skittish
horse.
