← El Sombrerón

Dark horse in a dim stable seen close from the side, its mane worked into a long row of small tight braids along the whole crest of the neck, a halter rope under its jaw

the braided mane

The sign is in the stable in the morning: manes and tails braided so tightly they have to be cut out. Everyone who has kept horses knows the knots; the legend names the braider.
