I like the distinction between the rancher and the cowboy. Makes perfect sense. <br /><br />Do they still work along side the cowboys, these day do you think? Somehow I doubt it.

He still rode and worked the ranch with the cowboys and often went on cattle drives to help out during the drive and take care of the business at the end of the drive. The rancher made sure he got he got the money for the cattle and every one got their pay. <br />G W PickleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-1897417982809394952011-08-11T00:49:14.187-07:002011-08-11T00:49:14.187-07:00Fun post.

Even if country western entertainers are not "real" cowboys, I thin they still qualify a little due to their music choice and audience.<br /><br />Paty, that is a wonderful photo of you and your horse.
