And ride the old bay gelding,
Across the moonstruck meadow
If my old bones

Trail Drives of the 1800's-Cowboys, Horses, Longhorns, hardships, and storiesThe trail drives of the 1800s were necessary to move the longhorn cattle from Texas to the north.

So How did Cowboys hold their Pants Up?Well, in the Old West in the 1900's they did not have those beautiful, sparkly, larger than Texas bling filled buckles and hand tooled leather belts we see so many cowboys and cowgirls wear today-They actually used plain old suspenders to keep "their britches"up.......It was not until the 1920's when Hollywood wanted their cowboys to look glamorous for the

In true old Vaquero tradition, Buckaroo Leather offers new artisan handmade vaquero style cinchas.The cinch (girth) has been in use for nearly 3000 years.

Cowboys of the old west were referred to as "Vaquero's", ( spanish word, "Vaca" means cow), "Californio's", "hands", or "cowhands". The term "Cowboy" was rarely used back in the old west. It is more commonly used today.The word Vaquero pronounced by American Cowboys, was "bukera" and finally "Buckaroo". For a time anyone working cattle, whether in Texas, CA or elsewhere was known as a "Buckaroo

Western Breast Collars have a very simple but useful purpose. They keep your saddle from sliding back and help the saddle to stay in the best fitting position on your horses back.The fitting position is also determined by how how well your saddle fits on your horse, the better your saddle fits the less it will move around. So be sure you start with a quality saddle that has a proper fit.Your

Team roping also known as, heading and heeling, is a rodeo event that features a steer and two mounted riders. The communication and teamwork between the header and the heeler is vital to a successful team. But, if you do not have a properly trained horse or the proper horse tack to allow for good communication to your horse, the team will not be successful. Team roping is a huge draw in rodeo

In the Old West in the 1800s the pioneers and cowboys on the prairie celebrated Christmas in much the same ways we do today. There was Santa Claus, presents, holiday decorations and of course the Christmas feast.The difference was seen in the humbleness of the gifts and holiday decorations. Life in the Old West on the prairie was hard and unpredictable. There were often terrible blizzards

The Lassos were used by Vaquero’s to hunt wild cattle. Until the late 18th century, the Vaquero tied the lariat to the horse’s tail. But the development of heavier, more substantial saddles changed this technique. Vaquero’s began wrapping the end of the rope around the horn of their heavy saddles. This wrapping technique called “Dar la Vuelta” ("take a turn" in Spanish) passed over to the

They were also hired by the railroads to catch the western

The origination of the Wild West Show derived from the interest shown by the east of the rough and wild western frontier. The real west was unknown to them, and they were willing to believe just about anything. The Easterners were enthralled by the west. The shows satisfied their cravings for adventure and allowed the show goers to be apart of the thrill and danger of the West without actually

Last week I wrote of the traveling medicine shows and the phenomenon of patent medicine. I wanted to share this biography of one of the biggest producers of patent medicine, Lydia E Pinkham. Her success was not only the product, which like all the patent medicines contained a high alcohol content, but her unique marketing strategy.Her strategy was to simply give the women of the 1800's a voice.
