ROUSE,—a term in STAG HUNTING: when an out-lying deer is found by the
hounds in covert, he is said to be ROUSED. When a deer is _carted_, and
carried to any particular spot for sport, and there liberated, he is
then said to be TURNED OUT. For instance, we draw the COVERTS, and ROUSE
a deer. We _try_ for and _unkennel_ a FOX; or we take _trail_, and START
A HARE.
ROWEL.—The small circular star, with sharp points, moving upon a pivot
at the heel of the spur, is so called, and which the horse, in breaking,
is taught to obey.
