1888, Eduardo Acevedo Díaz, Ismael:Los últimos que llegaban del rodeo desensillaban y largaban sus pinos sudorosos, dándoles un golpecito con las riendas en los cuartos, después de acariciarles con dos o tres palmadas el cuello, y de pasarles de la cruz a la cola el lomo del cuchillo para refrescar la traspiración espumosa bien señalada por los bastos, las bajeras y la carona.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
