In the above case the shepherd-dog ranks the sheep as its fellow-brethren, and thus gains confidence; and the wild dogs, though knowing that the individual sheep are not dogs, but are good to eat, yet partly consent to this view when seeing them in a flock with a shepherd-dog at their head.
One evening a "domidor" (a subduer of horses) came for the purpose of breaking-in some colts.

I will describe the preparatory steps, for I believe they have not been mentioned by other travellers.

A troop of wild young horses is driven into the corral, or large enclosure of stakes, and the door is shut.

We will suppose that one man alone has to catch and mount a horse, which as yet had never felt bridle or saddle.

I conceive, except by a Gaucho, such a feat would be utterly impracticable.
