Cowboys ride horses. Why are they called cowboys?

The word cowboy was introduced from the west, meaning cowherd and cowboy. When grazing is resumed, the means of transportation is horses, so cowboys are a profession, and riding horses is their characteristic. Their names will not change because of riding, and they have always been called cowboys.

19 world, before the western development of the United States, European immigrants brought cattle to the American continent, and they also knew that the place that was very suitable for cattle grazing was Ohio and other places in the east. Later, with the passage of time, these cattle moved to the west, because at this time, the west was full of grasslands, which was more suitable for grazing cattle.

"cowboy" culture

Although the cowboy era has passed, the cowboy spirit and culture it nurtured has continued. Houston is a city that embodies cowboy culture. The largest cowboy festival in the United States is held here every March, and the performances of horse training and bison training are quite wonderful. George Ranch Historical Park, not far from downtown, has a history of 180 years, and is the ranch in Houston that can experience cowboy culture best.

The live performances of cowboys here are rich in content, such as driving cattle into the fence, putting on ropes, trimming horns and so on. The Fort Worth Livestock Exchange near Dallas also retains the true color of the "cow" city, where large equestrian performances are held regularly, as well as parades and cowboy parties.
