The emblem of the
Block and Bridle Club is a large "B" with a meat block and cleaver in the
upper half and a bridle in the lower half.
This symbol is very significant to Block and Bridle Club members, as it
represents the principles upon which our club is built.
Character,
sincerity, and a moral life are asked of members when they are initiated
into the Block and Bridle Club. These attributes are depicted in the straight
perpendicular of the "B." The distinct curves of the "B" are
symbolic of social pleasure, mental energy, and the determination of
Block and Bridle Club members.
The
meat block and cleaver inside the top half of the "B" represents the material
aspects of our life and our profession. The bridle in the bottom
half of the "B" stands for the behavior of Block and Bridle members, the control over
ourselves that we try to maintain, the mannerisms and respect we show
towards others, and the manner in which we treat our livestock.
