The Gra says a man riding a chamor is used as a symbol to show that they
are in charge of their chomer side.

Whereas Bil'am rode an ason. (I don't recall if the Gra gives "ason"
symbolic meaning, or if the point that is wasn't chamor=chomer. Me,
I would take the "ason" to be "ito" as opposed to subjugated to his will.)

Tir'u baTov!
