"U" is unhorsed

Unfortunately for the hapless harmonica, Jack's mare unceremoniously unhorsed him.

Welcome to the game!  Don't worry, it takes a little
while to get accustomed to the rules.

=thanks=Toast
For the comparison to McMurtry/Ossana
High praise indeed

"V" is viscera

Riding over to see what the blue heeler was making a ruckus about, Ennis discovered that the coyotes had made a meal of the viscera of one unfortunate sheep.

def. = the internal organs of the body, as the heart, lungs, intestines, etc.

"W" is weekly

Let's try this again....
Ennis made weekly trips down the mountain for supplies.

Better? ???

=reply= loneleeb3
Much better.

Riding a horse xpedited Ennis's weekly trips down the mountain for supplies.

"A" is abilities
« Reply #12615 on: April 17, 2007, 03:15:42 pm »
Ennis's horse-riding abilities are obvious in the movie.   Too bad that he couldn't have a sweet life with the horses and his riding partner Jack.

=aside= Players
That was a sweet round.
And a new player makes it all the sweeter.
We learn as we go, loneleeb3.

=aside= Paul
Perfect round announcement.

"B" is bucked

Jack and Ennis bucked Aguirre's system by not sleeping with the sheep one hundred percent; Jack's mare just bucked.

Ennis canters away on Cigar Butt after the dozy embrace.

"D" is dramatized
« Reply #12618 on: April 17, 2007, 03:27:58 pm »
The scene where Ennis was thrown from Cigar Butt dramatized the fact that horses and mules have a natural fear of bears.

"E" is equids
« Reply #12619 on: April 17, 2007, 03:32:15 pm »
Aguirre provided his shepherds with equids.   I wonder if shepherds' mounts in Wyoming in 1963 would have such fine saddles, and other leathery straps, etc.
