Charlie's eyes narrow. People who've been around horses tend to be boons in his life, because they understand the importance of a good curry brush when he's paying for a brushing down, but right now he's in a temper and he's willing to take everything the wrong way.

"Been around horses, have you? Are you going to hobble me like one so I don't wander off?? Are you going to turn me into meat and glue?!" He's in a state and he's looking to put this person on their back foot, to make them scrabble and apologise so he can gain some control.
