Saddle Up.....Riding Longhorns

No bull about it, there is a growing fad taking the horns. “Texas Long Horns “known for their lean beef and made famous during the national era of the Texas Cattle Drives of the late 1860’s through the 1880’s have long been a popular beef. However, this new fad is not about the beef. It’s about cinching down the saddle and mounting up for a pleasure ride taking to the trail.

"Just Because a Man Wears a Cowboy Hat"

Cowboy at Sunset

Story by Roger Edison  

The term COWBOY is an interesting topic. The dictionary defines "Cowboy" as a person who works with cattle in North America and normally from Horse back. They also perform other duties from mending fences, maintaining equipment and care of the grounds that enclose the livestock.  However, I feel there is more to being a cowboy than just that of tending to cattle. True many people are mistaken to be cowboys just because they wear a western hat.
