BRONC. — All unbroken liorse.
15R0ZELL. — A band, usually made of raw hide, which goes around a horse's nose and forms a sort of bridle, to which is attached a lasso rope. Used to break a horse before a bit is placed in liis mouth. A knotted Brozell is sometimes used on extremely wild horses.
BULLDO(ilGlN(J. — To jump fromaliorse, running at fuUspecd, to the head of a steer, grab him by the honis, twist his horns, and then throw him. Clay McGonical, in 1900, was the first nian to perform this feat, which is the most dangerous of ranch life.
( 'HAPS. — Long leather coverings worn by cowboys over their legs. Worn for protection against biush and lovv-liangins trees. Sometimes thcj' arc made of sheepskin.
CIRCLE HORSE. — A half-broken, sturdy animal used only in tlio round-up. Ridden in circles to gather in the cattle preparatory to branding.
CUTTING HORSE. — The finest animal a cowboy owns. Intelligent and hardy, he is ridden into a herd to cut out a cow and her calf, so that the calf can be roped on clear ground and then branded.
COOK'S CALL FOR DINNER.—" Come and get it, or we'll throw it out."'
i>ALLY WELTY. — Throwing a lasso rope around the saddle-horn. Often cowboys have their
fingers cut off when a steer makes a break and the man attempts to keep the rope round
the saddle-horn. FOOD. — Grub, chuck, nose-bag, chow.
LIMBER-NECKED. — A horse that turns its head, but not its body, when the rider pulls the
reins. Such horses are not wanted by cowboys. MAVERICK.— Calf that strays from its mother.
MILLING. — Cattle that run in circles. A calf sometimes is separated from its mother and runs frantically around the herd. The other cattle follow — mill. To stop milling, a cowboy has the toughest job of his life. He must ride in or around the herd to get the leader and drive him toward the centre, so that the others will follow. Dogs, noise, trainwhistles, and other things usually start cattle-milling.
NECKBROKE. — A horse that can be turned left or right by the touch of the rein on his neck. In breaking a pony the cowboy uses a hackmore, which is like a bridle minus the bit. All Western horses are neckbroke.
JIcCARTHY ROPE. — A fifteen-foot rope usually made of hair, one end being attached to the Brozell on the bridle and the other end tucked under the cowboy's belt. The rope is used to prevent a horse running away after it has stumbled or fallen. A very necessary part of a cowboy's e:iuipraent.
NECKERCHIEF. — A coloured handkerchief worn around the neck by a cowboy to keep out the sun and dust. It is worn tight around the neck and not like a bib, as some actors wear it. Used in winter t j prevent the neck being chafed by the cowboy's machinaw.
NESTER. — A man who usually starves
ti'ying to farm in a cattle country. NIGHT-HAWK. — A man who takes care of tlie remuda — five horses used m the round-up. PLOW-LINE.— A horse's bit. POMMEL.— A saddle-horn used by a cowboy in pulling himself from the ground to the saddle. Also used for tj'ing rope, too, in roping cattle. Some tenderfeet use it to help them remain in tlie saddle. QUIRT. — A leather whip carried by cowboys. Sometimes called a persuader. REMUDA. — A group of five horses used
by a cowboy in a roimd-up. illATA. — A rope made of raw hide, used
for roping horses. ROPING. — Cowboys do not use this expression. They say " Dab it on him," or " Dallas fair him," both of which mean to rope and throw a steer quickly.
RUSTLER.— A common cow-thief. RINGY.— Term applied when a cowboy becomes angry rawhiding. RAW-HIDING. — Term applied when a cowboy is being tormented by a group of rangers. SOMBRERO.— A heavy felt hat of large proportions. A cowboy's wealth is usually measured by the size and decoration of his sombrero.
