"I" is impolitic

Ennis, watching Jack try to control his dancing, spinning mare, knew it would be impolitic to remind him that he'd advised against choosing her.

"J" is judgmental

Ennis, watching Jack try to control his dancing, spinning mare, could not be judgmental, and remind him that he'd advised against choosing her.

I was going to use the term 'crow-hopping'
but your 'dancing, spinning' wins out over McMurtry and Ossana.
Don't let it go to your head, though.

Ennis felt that Jack lacked horse sense when he chose a horse with a low startle point.

At the request of Mrs. Twist, Joe Aguirre rode up to the main camp on horseback to tell Jack about his uncle's malady.

Though the horses neigh, Jack and Ennis rode their horses up in the mountains nigh on twenty years.

"O" is objectiveness

Ennis's objectiveness prevented him from yelling "I told you so," when Jack's bay mare crow-hopped.  He could have also said so when Jack had a damaged harmonica.

Ennis rode on many bridle paths before he rode down the bridal path.

Ennis was unable to retrieve any of the food supplies that were scattered when the mules took off.

Joe Aguirre, on horseback, waits on the trail as our couple stems the rose, and then he ambles into camp to glare at Jack and Ennis as they go about their chores.
