Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Bullfighting
Portuguese term or phrase: cachimbo
'Estava-me a esquecer de falar aqui num freio, que é uma referência cá de casa, que é um cachimbo, como se costuma dizer.'

This is for subtitles, so it's not written, but I'm sure that's what he says.

It's related to the mouthpieces used on a horse in order to control it.

Thanks in advance for your help!
