Another lasso was then thrown over his head, and drawn quite tight round his neck, and a bridle, composed of two or three thongs of raw hide, was forced into his mouth by means of a slip-knot rein. A sheepskin saddle was placed on his back, the man who was to ride him standing over him, with one foot already in the stirrup.
So she did, and he sung Hallmund's song withal, wherein is this "When I drew adown The bridle brown Grettir's hard hold, Men deemed me bold; Long while looked then The brave of men In his hollow hands, The harm of lands. "Then came the day Of Thorir's play On Ernelakeheath, When we from death Our life must gain; Alone we twain With eighty men Must needs play then.
Now Peter seemed to remember that he had messages to carry. "There's no other way I've got to get through the lines " "Quite right," Boylan answered. "I don't want to fail. She wouldn't look twice at a man who failed " "Hell, child, sit still. She'd look twice if you failed a thousand times.... Hai, don't tear open a man's bridle arm. What is it?"
He had a golden saddle made for him, with a saddle-cloth broidered in gold and silver, and the bridle was studded with diamonds and precious stones, all taken from the King's treasury. And when he rode out, the old fat King always bestrode the donkey, while his courtiers rode on either side of him upon their prancing chargers.
Harry came in after school to feed me and give me water. In the afternoon I was put into the cab. Jerry took as much pains to see if the collar and bridle fitted comfortably as if he had been John Manly over again. There was no check-rein, no curb, nothing but a plain ring snaffle. What a blessing that was!
We rode to the east, skirting the marshes, following a trail made by cattle, until beyond the flats we saw the green roof of the pleasure-house which Sir William Johnson had built for himself. Our ride together was nearly ended. As at the same thought we tightened bridle and looked at each other gravely. "All rides end," I said. "Ay, like happiness." "Both may be renewed." "Until they end again."
"I was twenty-one in December." "We would like to know, Miss Cooper, what relation, if any, you bear to the witness Maillot?" "Merely that of a friend."

"I would n't undertake to speak for them," she replied composedly.
So, when a horse naturally violent, and half trained to the curb, takes fright, or takes offence, and, starting, throws his master, away he gallops; enraged the more by the falling bridle, he rears, plunges, curvets, and lashes out behind at broken girth or imaginary pursuer.
Peggy and Smiler went up the hill, as if nothing could be too much for them, after the beans they had eaten, and suddenly turning a corner of trees, we happened upon a great coach and six horses labouring very heavily. John Fry rode on with his hat in his hand, as became him towards the quality; but I was amazed to that degree, that I left my cap on my head, and drew bridle without knowing it.
Forde removed his saddle and bridle to be sent on the dray and turned his horse loose to find his way to the run, while he started on foot to the nearest station to procure another mount to carry him home. The rest of us proceeded to a flat near the first gorge of the Ashburton, where we succeeded in killing five other pigs before the evening closed.
