1 hackamore
California: 1850. A headstall or rope halter with reins and a lead rope. It may also be constructed of rawhide or horsehair. Adams describes it as a headpiece similar to "a bridle with a bosal in place of a bit." It has no throat-latch, and its brow-band is about three inches wide and can be used to cover the horse's eyes. The hackamore is especially useful for inexperienced horses in the process of being broken because it has knots that fit close to the horse's nostrils and cause pain when the horse does not submit to its rider. This term comes from the Spanish jáquima, which the DRAE defines as a rope headstall that is used to tie and lead horses.Alternate forms: hackamer, jakoma, jaquima, stockamore.

5 fiador
(Sp. model spelled same [fjadór] < fiar 'to guarantee' < Vulgar Latin fldere plus the agentive suffix -dor; 'guarantor')According to Watts, a cord made of rawhide, hair, or white cotton that attaches to a "hackamore" and fits around the neck of the animal, converting the hackamore into a strong halter. The DARE quotes Grant, who provides a more detailed description: "The fiador is a small doubled rope of either horsehair or sashcord that runs through the loops of the hackamore's brow band at the point just below and behind the ears. Then it goes around the neck, is knotted under the throat, and ends in another and lower knot, so tied that it will not slip over the heel button of the bosal." The DRAE gives several definitions for this term, one of them describing a leather strap worn by the outside front animal in a team from the harness to the cheek piece of the bit. As a general term in Spanish, fiador refers to any cord or other item that secures something and assures that it does not slip or fall out of place. Islas glosses the term as the part of the hackamore; a harness strap that secures the hackamore. It is passed around the nape of the animal's neck and tied behind the jawbone.Alternate forms: feador, fiadore, theodore (the latter is a folk-etymology). -
6 amansador
(Sp. model spelled same [amansador] < Vulgar Latin mansum 'tame, gentle' plus Spanish agentive suffix - dor 'one who tames or domesticates')SW and California: 1950. In the Southwest, a horse-breaker, especially one who employs the "hackamore," or rope halter and lead rope. Spanish sources concur. Santamaría notes that this meaning of the term is particular to the Americas. Its use illustrates a process known as foregrounding. The Spanish word amansador refers principally to someone who breaks horses following methods and techniques introduced by the Spanish caballeros and Mexican vaqueros. As such, the Spanish term foregrounds or highlights the Hispanic way of taming horses. -
7 bosal
New Mexico: 1844. A rope; a leather, or rawhide halter; or a metal ring that fits around the nose of a horse and is used as part of a hackamore in place of a bit. It can also refer to the rope used for such a halter. A bosal is often used when breaking a horse or riding an unruly horse. The DRAE gives several definitions for bozal, but notes that in the Americas it refers to a rope that, when tied to the neck of an animal, functions as a halter. In Spain, the more common term is bozo. Santamaría expands on the definition found in the DRAE and indicates that a bozal is made by loosely looping a rope around an animal's neck and securing it with a knot, then tying the rest of the rope around the horse's nose, using the end as a single rein.Alternate forms: bonsal, bosaal, bozal. -

11 mecate
California: 1849. According to Blevins, a rope made of horsehair or maguey used for leading and tethering horses, or as reins with a hackamore. The DRAE defines it as a type of twine, cord, or rope made of agave fibers. Santamaría defines it as any rope made of vegetable fiber used for tying. By extension, it also refers to any rope made from twisted or braided fibers, provided it is thin and is used for tying.Alternate forms: macardy, macarte, McCarthy, McCarty, mecarte.The supposed surnames are folk etymologies. No doubt some ranch hand who knew little or no Spanish pronounced the term with English phonology, having convinced himself that McCart(h)y (a cowboy legend in some distant region?) was the inventor or master craftsman of the mecate. -
