The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Meryl]

From childhood on, both Ennis and Jack were intimately acquainted with the leathery smell of boots, saddle and bridle.

In the above photo, the distinctive white marking on Ennis's horse is called a star.

Sometimes the silence of the mountain was broken only by the neighs of the horses.

Riverton was a one-horse town.

[Toast]

Ennis uses his pickups to transport his horses; either in a trailer or in a stall built in the pan of his pickup.

[Meryl]

Jack's horse up on Brokeback was a rascally mare who always put up a bit of a protest when he got in the saddle.

[Fran]

While holding the bay mare's reins in his left hand, Jack placed his right hand on the back of the saddle, put his left foot in the left stirrup, and jumped up, swinging his right leg over the horse's back.  He then turned to Ennis and said, "No more beans."

Jack's horse had a low startle point.  Horses like that have hair triggers, and are skittish.  Though very good at rearing on cue, Roy Rogers' horse, Trigger, had an easy-going reputation.

Ennis was tying knots and securing the leather thingies around the underbelly of the horses.

Joe Aguirre came riding up to the campsite on horseback, fixed Jack with a bold stare, and told him that his uncle Harold was a valetudinarian.
