" Oh, you do not understand, my grandsons. You have never known anything else, and you do not understand. "'Halter-broke and bridle-wise, the Chauffeur gloated, while she performed that dreadful, menial task.
"Why, that is the young bumpkin I came in with this morning. I thought I was striding alongside an elephant in bulk and wild horse in speed," Burgess said with a smile. "You will have a share in taming him, doubtless," Dr. Fenneben replied. "He looks hardly bridle-wise yet. Enter him among your types.
It's a lark for him, but the army would be a lark just the same," Esmond Clarenden declared. "He says he is to kill rattlesnakes and Mexicans, while Jondo kills Indians and I sit tight on top of the bales of goods to keep the wind from blowing them away. And the boys are to be made bridle-wise, plains-broke for future freighting. That's all that life means to him right now."
Dinky-Dunk is such a dear. I told him of course we'd win out, but I wouldn't be much use to him at first. I'd have to get broken in and made bridle-wise. "But, oh, Dinky-Dunk, whatever happens, you must always love me!" and I imagine I swam for him with my Australian crawl-stroke again. All I remember is that we went to sleep in each other's arms.

"You've been broken to society harness, old man, and are bridle-wise," I said, slapping him on the shoulder.
"Waal, then, jes' leave my filly in the barn whar she be now; ye kin travel on Shank's mare!" Thad started off up the steep slope. "Ef ye ain't a-hankerin' fur me ter ride that thar filly, ez air ez bridle-wise ez ye be, jes' let's see ye kem on, an' hender!" "I hopes she'll fling ye, an' ye'll git yer neck bruk," Ben called out after him.
They just counted the marshal's posse that it took to subdue us, and there was your population. But then there came along this Mariana Goodnight girl and looked at Perry sideways, and he was all bridle-wise and saddle-broke before you could skin a yearling. "I wasn't even asked to the wedding.
"But I wasn't a bit worried," he continued; "you had him so firmly around the neck. Besides, what horse or man could resist such a pleading pair of arms around the neck?" "What you saw," she said, flushing up, "is exactly the way I shall do any pleading with the two animals you mention." "Spur and curb and thrash us? Oh, my!" "Not if you're bridle-wise, Captain Selwyn," she returned sweetly.
They were broken bridle-wise, and perhaps had been ridden a few times. Bands of them were driven north to our country, and for about fifteen dollars apiece you might make a selection of the number wanted, say twenty to fifty head. Some of these ponies would turn out very well, some of little use.
I've had her exercised and groomed and hardened and trained from the very beginning every inch of her minutely cared for exactly like my own babies.
