When the general's trumpet gave the signal to prepare for departure lassoes secured the horses which had been left to graze in the meadows.
That day we lounged in camp mending broken bridles, saddles, stirrups, lassoes, boots, trousers, leggins, shirts and even broken skins.
And both lassoes were held taut by the black horse.
Two taut lassoes stretched from the pommel of his saddle down a little into a depression full of brush and cactus and rocks.
They lashed her with the ends of the lassoes, which action only made her kick harder.
All were heavily armed, and several carried lassoes and ropes.
They covered their tents with the thick skins, and made saddles, boats, lassoes and shoes from them.
A big stove stood at one end, and there were pegs for saddles, bridles and lassoes all about.
