953 nut 59,931 #1 Posted Saturday at 10:42 AM National Day of the Cowboy, on the fourth Saturday in July — falling on July 26, this year — is here to prove to us that cowboy culture, despite the misconception that it has faded away over the years and been beaten down by the Information Age, is alive and well. It wouldn’t be too outlandish to say that the National Day of the Cowboy movement got its real start when ranchers and cowhands first started working herds in the American West before all 50 states were even formed. Roping and riding, herding cattle on horseback, living by the lariat on your saddle horn, and camping under a big, starry American sky — these things were integral to the American cowboy experience. For a long while, other countries’ perception of what Americans were like was exemplified by the ‘Marlboro Man’ image — a stoic, soft-spoken, self-reliant master of herd beasts and the wilderness. 2 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't have to drive or get out to open and close the gates. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
