As described in previous posts, rounding up hundreds of widely scattered
cows that have been left alone fattening on the Llanos’ grass for several months is very hard on horses. So much so
that such annual roundups see each cowboy exhaust four horses over a day. Though,
as was also shown in my earlier posts, horse selection starts at dawn, it goes
on long after the sun has risen. Here, cowboys are lassoing the ones they will
use. More cowboys are arriving on horseback to pick their own.
