GR translation: some other such longlip bridlejaw cowboy

[Mike Jing]

I must be doing something wrong then. For the record, Google search for
"long lip bridle jaw", "long lip bridle", "bridle jaw cowboy" and "bridle
jaw technique" with quotes returned no results at all. Results for "bridle
jaw" are mostly ads for bridle pieces on Esty, etc. Adding "Vaquero" to the
mix didn't give me anything useful either.

I would have asked for a link but that seems to be out of the question now.
I guess I'll just have to suffer for my lame googling skills.
