No they weren't. Ever heard of ganaderos? Ganaderias are from spain which influence Charros which charros influence cowboys so get informed before you spill out shit!!
1947relic Some Mexicans practice ganaderia, but not that much. You think everyone that rides a horse is cowboy, but thay is not true. Read how cowboys came to be, but it will be hard to find because a lot of American books try to make it out like they are all the same which they aren't. They are very different. The Charros get mad when you call them cowboys because that is not what they are. Get informed before spill shit because the Mexicans were the first cowboys!!!
just know that yes. florida is a landmark in cattle industry, but arizona and texas (or should i say MEXICO at the time) were the first to breed the animals in north america. the southwest started it in the continent, too bad that at the time, that place was not the southwest. it was the north, of mexico.
Behind the judge atop the fine black horse sets a McClellan saddle , one of the most comfortable I saddles I have ever spent time in . However not a cowboy saddle , nope strictly military .... My dad was one of the last “free range” cowboys in the panhandle of Florida .
Mexicans where the first original cowboys. The vaqueros where first cowboys their style and cutler was almost identical to those of Texas and California. The Spanish brought cattle and they mantained cattle all over the world a de there are many different styles of cowboys but the first and true cowboys where Mexicans. The Mexican people put there cutler into the cowboy the boots the Texas style somberos that where thought of in Mexico yes Mexico be
amy karr leave black peoples out ya mouth because you don’t appropriate any culture but people always stealing from our culture so just easy up there pal
Your comment is ridiculous if it wasn't for the Spanish there would be no cattle in the Americas in the first place true Spaniards are white Europeans so why would white people have a problem with that.....
@@craigherbert6640 vaqueros came from Spain but they evolved in Mexico since the conditions are harsh down south. Plus vaqueros were mestizos Which are a mix between Spaniard and native. You guys took our culture just as our territories.
I know that a lot of North Americans think handling cattle on horseback magically appeared in North America. The truth is that it was being done in Spain, Portugal, parts of France, and parts of Germany centuries before . The best most efficient was Spain and Portugal. The riata work was a natural expansion of la garacha. The riata was more functional in open pastures and was developed for that purpose, pretty much in the California area. Now give this some thought, who was in California at that time? "Mexicans" as such did not exist yet.
cowboymoney1 The "Mexican" is a combination of Spanish people and indigenous North American Indians. The North American Indian did not have horses until the Spanish got to North America. You can quibble over this till hell freezes but it don't change the facts.
Early Irish settler cattlemen drove large herds 5000km from west to east coast across arid inland Australia. Australia has the biggest cattle stations in the world
The origin of cowboys is Mexico, vaqueros. It has always been Mexicans. But it hit America. The first America cowboys were black and then white people claimed it as there culture and which it wasn’t

Bull shiet. The first cowboys were Mexicans. There are asciendas in Mexico that date back to the 1600 in the state of Puebla. Morelos. And chihuahua. So wherever this video is showing is a lie.
I don't question the facts, but I do the importance of them. Doesn't matter if Florida has a million head of cattle and 10,000 work horses, ranching as is commonly known is in the Great Basin, California, the Southwest and Mexico where the vaquero, buckaroo, cowpuncher or cowboy is best known.
First cowboys in HISTORY were called Chinacos. Then it changed to charros. That was in south mexico in the north of mexico were called VAQUEROS. At that time texas New Mexico and other states that belong to Mexico. There aré asciendas in Mexico that date back to 1600.
Elpidio Villarreal So you agree the style of cowboy today Mexico started it ? Because the style that the Spanish cowboy look like back then nobody dresses like that.
MRCRITIC73 but most ranch owning people in Mexico are of Spanish ancestry, North eastern Mexicans are predominantly of European ancestry. The cowboy is no doubt a Mexican thing but to say that is origins aren’t white is wrong.

Anna Creek Station is the world's largest working cattle station.[ It is located in the Australian state of South Australia. Its area is roughly 6,000,000 acres (24,000 km2; 9,400 sq mi) which is slightly larger than Israel. It is 1,977,000 acres (8,000 km2; 3,089 sq mi) larger than its nearest rival, Alexandria Station in the country's Northern Territory and eight times the size of the United States biggest ranch, King Ranch in Texas, which is 825,000 acres (3,340 km2; 1,289 sq mi).
The modern American cowboy originated in the Northern Mexican territories.The first real cowboys appeared whenever horsemen were used for the herding of cattle. A real long time ago.
you do know that 90% of mexicans have some sort of native ancestry? we are the descendents of those native people you are talking about but many of us are mixed kind of like how alot of native americans in the US are mixed. How did we steal a culture if it was inherently ours in the first place? what the do you think mexicans are? spaniards? lol.The name "mexico" was used in honor of the aztec empire because the aztec empire was called mexico.
According to the U.S.D.A. The U.S. is the largest cattle producer in the world and Florida is the largest cattle producer in the U.S.. Not in terms of the number of acres but in terms production.
The first Cowboys were Spanish, they taught Mexicans about the lifestyle. The Mexicans popularized the Cowboy lifestyle into a big culture. Americans are simply borrowing that culture.
They mixed with the natives so, you can say Mexicans are the true first cowboys if they are the descendants of those Spanish men as well as the indians
Immitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery. Not only have the Aussies adapted many of the ways of the American Cowboy, they have also adopted the American sport of Rodeo. There have been more than a few exceptional Aussie rodeo cowboys and cowgirls who have come to the USA and done very well competing in American rodeos. Hat's off to our Aussie cowboy cousins!
remember that texas was not yet a part of the union when al this happened. but cowboys were there long before they arrived in florida from spain. Florida might have been first in the U.S but only because Texas wasnt a part of the U.S at the time!
Yes the first cowboys where in fact Spaniards but, they came to Florida first. After 1521 there was 26 colony`s established in Florida and in 1565 Saint Augustine became the 1st permanent city in North America. Horses and cattle came with the settlers in every colony.
@Guicho Zuñiga so why does spain matter then based on your response....That's a different part of the world. Btw, There were Fulani Horseman who were captured and brought to Americas who also influenced the Ganaderos of Florida during the bondage years. That was in America!
Long live the Peasant culture. (Cowboys),cultura Vaquera In my country they are called chagras, montubios and peasants. I see that in Argentina they are called Gaucho. Los Hateros, Dominican Republic. The morochucos, qorilazos, Peruvian Chalan, Loncco in Peru. The gauchos, in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. The muleteers, ranchers, charros (not to be confused with the cowboys of the north), in Mexico. The cowboys, in Mexico, Canada and the United States (in the former Spanish territories). The huasos, in Chile. The llaneros, in Colombia and Venezuela. The chagras, montubios, peasants in Ecuador. The farmers, also called "sabanero", in Costa Rica.

While it's true that Mexicans are primarily descended from the indigenous Aztec natives (who share a common ancestry with the American Indian), they also have a minority in their population who have full or mixed Spaniard ancestry. It's truly a shame though that those of Spaniard ancestry have been the ruling class both politically and socially since way before the days of Pancho Villa or Santa Ana, and yet still today consider themselves racially superior to fellow Mexicans of native ancestry.
Foucku Ghougle The same thing happened in the USA,Were Indians don’t really matter,Anybody who is white thinks is better than the Indians and anybody else.
In Florida they'd more accurately be called cow-keepers or cow-herders as these were cattle raised on established cow farms. The Mexicans were Vaqueros, not cowboys, as they had their own culture, style of dress, and saddlery, but their ingenious ranching techniques were eagerly adopted and improved upon by enterprising Texas ranchers, drovers and cowboys. The real, original American cowboys gathered their herds after the Civil War and drove them North from TX to railheads in KS. (Continued)
part2)also the official country mexico didnt exist until the early 1800's and before that it was called new spain where the spaniards pretty much controlled everything. It was the spaniards that stole the the lands from the native people, not mexicans. When mexico gained independence they inherited that land and thats how mexicans "stole" it. overall, not a very good argument.
Kevin Hall The point here was where and how the way of the Cowboy life as we know it evolved,The Campfires,The Food “Chile Con Carne,The Music,Country Ballads or Canciones Rancheras,Spurs,Reata,Saddle with horn,Lazo etc.

This one old gelding had no trouble walking forward while turning his head back to chew on my boot tip..... Cracked people up to see ol' Hash moving along with my foot in his mouth. Also liked getting a ride just to myself to take in the scenery. For that, my favorite was a Paint that could really cover a lot of ground fast surefootedly over the mountain trails. I used to help exercise the string of them down in the desert in the winter, too. Can't wait for covid to pass! Hippotherapy would sure be good for what ails me nowadays.
Largest ranch in number of cattle is in Florida but not even close in acreage, the largest ranch in acreage now is JR Simplot's ( the "potato king") cattle ranch in Oregon
The first cowboys were native American( including Mexicans) and African American former slaves, it's all in the name! It would have been an insult to call someone a cowboy let alone a 'boy' during those times... caucasians would have been called cow hunters or ranchers. It wasn't until cowboys came back with wild stories of encountering hostile natives and rival cattle handlers that the cowboy became white washed. Being a cowboy would have been akin to being a trucker or a garbage man but worse
Guy Lewis we are Talking about The Cowboy way of life in North America,How it evolved.In Northern and Central México,Texas,Arz,Cal,Then México The European Inmgrants Adopted it.
Vaquero or Cowboy culture in the Americas started in the Caribbean. We had the first Spanish settlements and Iberian livestock. New Seville in Jamaica by 1510 was a cattle ranch with Spanish cattle and horses. Today's Dominican Republic had Andalusian cattle long before Florida. Cuba has a longer history in ranching than Mexico.
yea but its not about just ranching that existed before spanish people, its about the clothing and style the leather chaps, cowboy hat, big saddle and spurs where created in mexico.
@@abdulazizclare9545 no its not lol the natives attack ranchers and vaqueros in both usa and mexico so much that they where kill on sight because they did not fight fair they came at night and attacked civilians, until 1895 did the last counties in texas became free of comanches and other bands of tribes, the natives until 1895 where still hunting and gathering they never herded cattle like mexicans
@@abdulazizclare9545 cowboys are from the ones hollywood popularized in mexico and the old wild west of usa, thats why theres even americans old west movies portraying mexicans as cowboys of stories in mexico
It's unfair to claim that Americans stole the Vaquero culture. All they did was adopt & improve their cattle ranching techniques, which is just what the Vaqueros had previously done in adopting and improving the techniques taught to them by their Spanish conquerors. In fact, it would've been impossible for the primitive Aztecs to have ever evolved into Vaqueros had the Spanish Conquistadors not imported their horses, cattle & culture to Central America............("continued") ..............
Es una idea equivocada que cuando los americanos obtuvieron el oeste,ellos adoptaron las costumbres mexicanas. La verdad es que no había muchos mexicanos ahí para empezar y los que sí estaban fueron expulsados debido a una ley que los obligaba a comprobar que esas tierras fueron dados por el gobierno mexicano, muchos de ellos fueron engañados asiendo los pagar deudas que no eran de ellos obligándolos a vender sus tierras,no sabían defenderse por no saber inglés, oh simplemente no tenian comprobantes. Las costumbres Mexicanas se adoptaron en el oeste americano debido a la grande cantidad de caballos y vacunos salvaje que habían quedado abandonados después de la expulsión mexicana. Muchos americanos no sabiendo cómo manejar el ganado en la nueva región y cruzaban a México a traer mexicanos (como Richard king) para enseñarle a sus esclavos negros como trabajarlos. Los esclavos negros trabajaban el ganado y después que fueron liberados lo seguían trabajando con mexicanos contratados por los anglos por su mano de obra barata. La verdad es que sólo Hollywood pintó el vaquero americano como símbolo del Oeste, los negros fueron los primeros vaqueros estadounidenses después de los mexicanos no los blancos. También la mayoría de los vaqueros en estados unidos eran negros, 1/3 eran mexicanos y los demás eran chinos,irlandeses y otras minorías que en esos tiempos no eran considerada blancos en esos tiempos. Hasta el vaquero mexicano más pobre y sencillo era mucho mejor sentado en su silla que uno de los mejores cowboys estadounidenses. El trabajo de un vaquero en esos tiempos no era algo que se consideraba prestigiado, muchos lo veían como un trabajo sucio y duro. Otra cosa los charros fueron los primeros vaqueros en Norte América, la mayoría criollos (nacidos en las Américas de desendemsia europea), los vaqueros trabajaban para los Charros y eran en su mayoría mestizos ( mezcla indigena/europea) ya que los nativos americanos no se les permitía montar caballos. Los vaqueros fueron adoptando técnicas y tradiciones similares a la de los charros;esos vaquero fuero expandiendo así al norte y sigieron evolucionado. El vaquero Norte América que fue adoptado por los estadounidense es originario de Chihuahua no de Texas,de ese estado fue el que influjo al resto de los territorios Mexicanos al igual que el norte del actual México. Aunque sí había mucho comercio entre los ingleses y California, mayoría sólo de dedicaba a vender y cambiar mercancía y no al ganado. Debido a esto,los ingleses no influyeron tanto a los primeros vaqueros estadounidenses cómo se pensaba.
Obviously it's spain. The Doma Vaqeura (ring a bell to anyone) is the oldest cowboy-discipline there is. Just google the history of the Mexican vaqeuros. I'm not sure why anyone would care or fight about it, since it's quite clear. The first cowboys were spanish.
The first were probably the Mongols, and the first American vaqueros were Mexican, and new techniques were created there that were then taken up into the US and down all the way to Argentina.
wet timguavass Yes but it came directly from spain. So that's where the origin lies. I'm not sure if you could qualify every person that ever crawled on a horse since the beginning of time as a cowboy. Like I said, spain to mexico to usa.
My family has run cattle since mid 1800s. I carry it forward with my boy. God bless the ones who have gone before us.

First cowboys were in Spain.They brought this skill and trade here but the Mexican Vaquero is responsible for what we know of as the cowboy today.

Yes the first cowboys where in fact Spaniards but, they came to Florida first. After 1521 there was 26 colony`s established in Florida and in 1565 Saint Augustine became the 1st permanent city in North America. Horses and cattle came with the settlers in every colony.
Negative Ban. As reported in the documentary, the first horses arrived with Ponce DeLeon from Spain in 1521 in South West Florida.

I think a few of you missed the point. Talking about north America, mrpa1310, and delco butt bandit....
They came from all over Europe On the first ships of death
Acreage yes, production no. The largest cattle ranch by productions was Australia but went out of business because of the drought.
he might have landed in florida,..... but to get to texas....
All horses came from Spain in the colonialist times, the first horseman were the Spaniards.

D33Lux Naw the Spaniards got the horses because of the Moor from North West Africa the Fulani were the First...look it up
@Guicho Zuñiga so why does spain matter then based on your response....That's a different part of the world. Btw, There were Fulani Horseman who were captured and brought to Americas who also influenced the Ganaderos of Florida during the bondage years. That was in America!
@Guicho Zuñiga do more research and get pleasantly surprised. I bet you even have some Fulani Blood...Brother...
@Guicho Zuñiga No Worries Brother!
Long live the Peasant culture. (Cowboys),cultura Vaquera

Culture brought from Spain to the Americas.♥️❤♥️❤♥️
Im proud of my cowboy ancestry and Im proud to be a Floridian.
While it's true that Mexicans are primarily descended from the indigenous Aztec natives (who share a common ancestry with the American Indian), they also have a minority in their population who have full or mixed Spaniard ancestry. It's truly a shame though that those of Spaniard ancestry have been the ruling class both politically and socially since way before the days of Pancho Villa or Santa Ana, and yet still today consider themselves racially superior to fellow Mexicans of native ancestry.
Because they are smarter!
Foucku Ghougle The same thing happened in the USA,Were Indians don’t really matter,Anybody who is white thinks is better than the Indians and anybody else.
AND THAT IS THE TRUTH
Touche Foucku!!!
In Florida they'd more accurately be called cow-keepers or cow-herders as these were cattle raised on established cow farms. The Mexicans were Vaqueros, not cowboys, as they had their own culture, style of dress, and saddlery, but their ingenious ranching techniques were eagerly adopted and improved upon by enterprising Texas ranchers, drovers and cowboys. The real, original American cowboys gathered their herds after the Civil War and drove them North from TX to railheads in KS. (Continued)
The biggest ranch in the world is the gang ranch in British Columbia Canada not Florida.
B.S.Butla 93 it's Florida
I worked there on the Gang in the 1970s the first time. Not sure if it is as big anymore but it's still big.
It said United States stupid
part2)also the official country mexico didnt exist until the early 1800's and before that it was called new spain where the spaniards pretty much controlled everything. It was the spaniards that stole the the lands from the native people, not mexicans. When mexico gained independence they inherited that land and thats how mexicans "stole" it. overall, not a very good argument.
Would rather see a comparison of all the different cowboy cultures from the gaucho to the vaquero to the buckaroo. Don't really care who was first.
Kevin Hall Buckaroo became a word used mainly by European Inmgrants who couldn’t pronounce the word Vaquero.
@@andreschavez3134 That is true but nowadays it often refers to the cowboys from the great basin area of Nevada, Oregon and Idaho.
Kevin Hall The point here was where and how the way of the Cowboy life as we know it evolved,The Campfires,The Food “Chile Con Carne,The Music,Country Ballads or Canciones Rancheras,Spurs,Reata,Saddle with horn,Lazo etc.
@@amykarr6163 Most people know the Spanish were the original cowboys, at least those likely to read this story. You did notice I mentioned the gaucho and vaquero in my post???
@@tinoyb9294 original "cowboys" who weren't yet cowboys were probs african. the cowboys you know today is all thanks to the originals: the meztiso Mexicans. not the spanish
The bee hive is because of the utah Mormons that own the deseret ranch!
✝️🇱🇷💪🤠☕
"You learned a lot on this assignment" ...well you didn't learn how to throw your saddle on a horses back!
Did he just saddle from the horses right side?
@@karenatha7890 No.....he just plopped it down from the top and got the rigging stuck under it against the horses back, instead of swinging it on, so the rigging would go over the horse's back cleanly.
@@Bronco-1776 yep You're right. I watched again. I kill a lot of time looking at horsemanship on westerns etc...been a rider of English and Western the whole 1st half of my life. Best job I ever had was trail guide in Cloudcroft, NM. That was so beautiful! 40 horses cared for dearly and well. This one old gelding had no trouble walking forward while turning his head back to chew on my boot tip..... Cracked people up to see ol' Hash moving along with my foot in his mouth. Also liked getting a ride just to myself to take in the scenery. For that, my favorite was a Paint that could really cover a lot of ground fast surefootedly over the mountain trails. I used to help exercise the string of them down in the desert in the winter, too. Can't wait for covid to pass! Hippotherapy would sure be good for what ails me nowadays.
Largest ranch in number of cattle is in Florida but not even close in acreage, the largest ranch in acreage now is JR Simplot's ( the "potato king") cattle ranch in Oregon
Simplot is also southern Idaho, from border to border. Just saying'.
Florida has the largest single cattle ranch not Oregon
The first cowboys were native American( including Mexicans) and African American former slaves, it's all in the name! It would have been an insult to call someone a cowboy let alone a 'boy' during those times... caucasians would have been called cow hunters or ranchers. It wasn't until cowboys came back with wild stories of encountering hostile natives and rival cattle handlers that the cowboy became white washed. Being a cowboy would have been akin to being a trucker or a garbage man but worse
Cattle were first domesticated in Anatolia, the Levant, and western Iran. Therefore, they were the first cowboys.
Guy Lewis we are Talking about The Cowboy way of life in North America,How it evolved.In Northern and Central México,Texas,Arz,Cal,Then México The European Inmgrants Adopted it.
Guy Lewis just because you ride a horse doesn’t make you a cowboy
If you don't have 5 horses your not a true rancher !!!!
Sorry. Mexican doesnot = Spaniard. Ask anyone from Spain. Its like calling a Puerto Rican a Mexican.
@AL92660, you’re correct but Native American + Spaniard in Mexico does = Mexican.
Vaquero or Cowboy culture in the Americas started in the Caribbean. We had the first Spanish settlements and Iberian livestock. New Seville in Jamaica by 1510 was a cattle ranch with Spanish cattle and horses. Today's Dominican Republic had Andalusian cattle long before Florida. Cuba has a longer history in ranching than Mexico.
yea but its not about just ranching that existed before spanish people, its about the clothing and style the leather chaps, cowboy hat, big saddle and spurs where created in mexico.
@@joea6234 So say Rancheros, Charros and Chinacos thats 100% Mexico. Vaquero is West Indians that got to South Mexico.
@@abdulazizclare9545 no its not lol the natives attack ranchers and vaqueros in both usa and mexico so much that they where kill on sight because they did not fight fair they came at night and attacked civilians, until 1895 did the last counties in texas became free of comanches and other bands of tribes, the natives until 1895 where still hunting and gathering they never herded cattle like mexicans
@@abdulazizclare9545 cowboys are from the ones hollywood popularized in mexico and the old wild west of usa, thats why theres even americans old west movies portraying mexicans as cowboys of stories in mexico
@@abdulazizclare9545 we also have north african arabic blood the moors conquered spain for 742 years
Wrong! hahahahahahahahaha
It's unfair to claim that Americans stole the Vaquero culture. All they did was adopt & improve their cattle ranching techniques, which is just what the Vaqueros had previously done in adopting and improving the techniques taught to them by their Spanish conquerors. In fact, it would've been impossible for the primitive Aztecs to have ever evolved into Vaqueros had the Spanish Conquistadors not imported their horses, cattle & culture to Central America............("continued") ..............
Es una idea equivocada que cuando los americanos obtuvieron el oeste,ellos adoptaron las costumbres mexicanas. La verdad es que no había muchos mexicanos ahí para empezar y los que sí estaban fueron expulsados debido a una ley que los obligaba a comprobar que esas tierras fueron dados por el gobierno mexicano, muchos de ellos fueron engañados asiendo los pagar deudas que no eran de ellos obligándolos a vender sus tierras,no sabían defenderse por no saber inglés, oh simplemente no tenian comprobantes. Las costumbres Mexicanas se adoptaron en el oeste americano debido a la grande cantidad de caballos y vacunos salvaje que habían quedado abandonados después de la expulsión mexicana. Muchos americanos no sabiendo cómo manejar el ganado en la nueva región y cruzaban a México a traer mexicanos (como Richard king) para enseñarle a sus esclavos negros como trabajarlos. Los esclavos negros trabajaban el ganado y después que fueron liberados lo seguían trabajando con mexicanos contratados por los anglos por su mano de obra barata. La verdad es que sólo Hollywood pintó el vaquero americano como símbolo del Oeste, los negros fueron los primeros vaqueros estadounidenses después de los mexicanos no los blancos. También la mayoría de los vaqueros en estados unidos eran negros, 1/3 eran mexicanos y los demás eran chinos,irlandeses y otras minorías que en esos tiempos no eran considerada blancos en esos tiempos. Hasta el vaquero mexicano más pobre y sencillo era mucho mejor sentado en su silla que uno de los mejores cowboys estadounidenses. El trabajo de un vaquero en esos tiempos no era algo que se consideraba prestigiado, muchos lo veían como un trabajo sucio y duro. Otra cosa los charros fueron los primeros vaqueros en Norte América, la mayoría criollos (nacidos en las Américas de desendemsia europea), los vaqueros trabajaban para los Charros y eran en su mayoría mestizos ( mezcla indigena/europea) ya que los nativos americanos no se les permitía montar caballos. Los vaqueros fueron adoptando técnicas y tradiciones similares a la de los charros;esos vaquero fuero expandiendo así al norte y sigieron evolucionado. El vaquero Norte América que fue adoptado por los estadounidense es originario de Chihuahua no de Texas,de ese estado fue el que influjo al resto de los territorios Mexicanos al igual que el norte del actual México. Aunque sí había mucho comercio entre los ingleses y California, mayoría sólo de dedicaba a vender y cambiar mercancía y no al ganado. Debido a esto,los ingleses no influyeron tanto a los primeros vaqueros estadounidenses cómo se pensaba.
So basically Mexicans are first got it!
I see,so you are using public land for you're own profit...I see
Yes mam
One of the biggiest lie ever told
You know it😆
Argentinian cowboys are the best!
@filipsperez , of course! That’s why you hear of ‘em a lot, huh?
Obviously it's spain. The Doma Vaqeura (ring a bell to anyone) is the oldest cowboy-discipline there is. Just google the history of the Mexican vaqeuros.
I'm not sure why anyone would care or fight about it, since it's quite clear. The first cowboys were spanish.
The first were probably the Mongols, and the first American vaqueros were Mexican, and new techniques were created there that were then taken up into the US and down all the way to Argentina.
wet timguavass Yes but it came directly from spain. So that's where the origin lies. I'm not sure if you could qualify every person that ever crawled on a horse since the beginning of time as a cowboy. Like I said, spain to mexico to usa.
They aren't cowboys, they are ganaderos lady so you get informed!!!!
But things like the chaps lasso and horns where invented in Mexico so the first Cowboys or vaqueros where from Mexico
***** es verdad el autentico vaquero es Mexicano el mexicano aprendió de los españoles y los gringos aprendieron de los mexicanos saludos
Florida lol ur funny 🤣 by the way. America it's not a country. It's a continent. U guys need to read more books. 😆
u$ is bankrupt lol
los texanos son los mejores vaqueros seguidos de los chihuahenses...
