TIPS TO THE TENDERFOOT 



Snubbing — the act of tying the horse's head to some fixed object, 

 usually through the fork and the horn of a saddle on another 

 horse. 



Pick Him Up ! or Take Him Up ! or Cage Him Up ! — cries given by 

 the judges to mounted helpers or "pick up men" after a horse 

 has bucked itself out and meaning to overtake and catch the 

 animal so that the rider can dismount and the saddle be removed. 

 WIND-UP, THE — of the year's range work is the round-up. This is 

 the annual gathering of cattle from the ranges for branding ot 

 young stock and selection of beef for market. In the old days 

 large outfits of cowboys with their cook or "chuck" wagons 

 covered hundreds of miles of territory. Some of these round- 

 ups lasted several weeks, usually winding up with a jollification 

 in which all the cowboys participated in their most popular 

 pastimes and contests. The Epic Drama of the West in its 

 cowboy and Indian carnival, epitomizes the whole gamut of 

 range life and sounds the spirit of its clarion call in T*he Round- 

 Up Slogan— LET 'ER BUCK!
