    The mexican vaquero is a mixture of the spanish Huelva vaquero (Marismeño) and the spanish Salamanca vaquero (Charro), but also the invention of the mexican lasso or lazo and the technics and skills of the lasso which sustitute the Spanish Garrucha or lanza to manage the cattle.

    Not sure if it counts as migration from Mexico. California was Mexico. Maybe, maybe they migrated from further south in Mexico but that might even be stretching it.

    I'm a Texas boy now on Maui. All respect for the Hawaiian cowboys; tough people. I believe there was a group of Hawaiian cowboys (years ago now) that traveled to the US for a rodeo competition...story goes that the mainland cowboys poked fun at them (Da Paniolos) regarding their physical appearance, their dress, their horses...etc. If I'm not mistaken, the Paniolos kicked the crap out of the mainland cowboys! I totally believe it. Thanks for the nice video. Aloha from Maui.

    And that was John Wayne's real life politics. In fact he thought that the Indians don't deserve us to give them a reservation because they couldn't stand up and organize and fight for what was theirs. So rightfully somebody else took it away. Lot of people don't like John Wayne after they learn this of him.

    The American Mountain men wore spurs with jingle bobs over forty years before the first cowboys started punchin cattle north to the railroad shipping yards. George Fredrick Ruxton, English explorerer and author wrote of Bill Williams, famous mountain man and former guide for Colonel John Fremont, the Great Pathfinder. In his book, "Life in the Far West, describing Bill Williams he writes, "...and iron spurs of incredible proportions, with tinkling drops attached to the rowels, were fastened to his heel, a bead worked strap four inches broad, securing them over his instep." I believe the mountain men wore large spurs as a fashion statement as much as a riding aid.

    I'm not sure if you could know that this would reach me here in Washington State. I see that you only sent this 43 minutes ago but God put this in my algorithm to watch. Thank you for making this video. I got into horses 13 years ago and was borrowing and begging everyone around me to let me play with their horses. Last year of person I know gave me a horse and it was difficult situation where I ended up having to put her down. My education is as a therapist and an equine assisted therapist, but my current situation is that I'm sitting in an office all day away from the ranch and from walking and from horses and dogs and cats and pigs and chickens and I'm miserable. I don't even have a horse to play with right now and it makes me feel like I'm dying. I have to come out of a move from one location to another and am paying a lot of bills because of it so I can't afford to lease a horse. The Lord told me last week that this was a season for me and I'm so grateful that you made this video. I have two saddles and I'm hanging on to them till I die. A friend of mine prayed with me the other day and said there will be more horses and through tears I pray in agreement right now that there will be and I will learn to be a proficient rider and packer. God bless you for making this video. Many of us out here are watching them and are engaged by them ❤

    He is wrong the spanish were NOT "vaqueros" the spanish brought their skills in cattle ranching/herding and spanish HORSEMAN which are NOT vaqueros. The spanish horseman over 300 years transformed into what we now know as the Vaquero/cowboy. Cowboy boots,lasso, cowboy hat, and chaps including the rodeo are of Mexican origin Spain has NONE of that. The vaquero is part of tradition, music, fashion,movies etc in Mexico. Mexico national sport is the rodeo and is protected by UNESCO.

People make videos on KZread and present them as "facts" when its very easy to look up and be knowledgeable about the subject. IMO its a way to slight Mexicans for whatever superiority complex reason they have for not wanting to give Mexico its dues/recognition. Its no secret that cowboys come from Mexico. Vaqueros were also sent from Mexico to Hawaii to teach the vaquero ranching lifestyle that's why there are Paniolos cowboys in Hawaii today.

    You are wrong, the vaqueros are the spanish horsemen whom take care of the cows (vacas) at countryside in open range outside of the vaquerias inside the village. All the equipment, tools and skills of the vaqueros comes from Spain particularly from "Las Marismas" of Huelva province in Andalucía...except one tool which is the lasso ( El Lazo) that is pure mexican while the vaquero in Spain utilize the "garrocha" or lanza to control the cows. But don't forget that also the Charros custom and tools comes from Spain in Salamanca province...

    @@claramente8087 There are no Vaqueros in Spain. In Spain the Spaniard horseman are are called Caballeros/caballistas/Garrochistas(lancers) and Jinetes. Vaquero is a Mexican colloquial term. The Vaquero/Ranchero is a Mexican horseman with special equipment that is distinct to any country including Spain. Its academic history the Vaquero is from Mexican in origin. Spanish horseman are not Vaqueros since vaqueros was just the name of Mexican horseman. There are horseman in many countries that doesnt make you a vaquero. The cowboy from USA came from Mexico. Spanish brought the equestrina practice of "Doma Vaquera" a horse riding style but its not to be confused with Vaquero which is a term used for Mexican horseman. Even the Mexican saddle aka Western saddle didnt exist in spain since it has a horn. Like I said the Spanish horsmen evolved in Mexico over hundreds of years inventing its own distinct gear. Im not saying that there is no influence. There are spanish influences but dont get influence confused with origin.

    @@jaypay8954 you are wrong , of course there were vaqueros in Spain and still today exists. The cattle of bulls is open range lands and the vaqueros are the workers there. The cows in Spain never were used in big numbers neither open lands, except for the the Bulls, that is why the typical exploitation of cows were vaquerias for milk and several pieces for meat under the fence, except the Bulls for the bull fighters, so these savage bulls and cows grew up in two places, "las Marismas " de Huelva and the open lands of Salamanca "El Campo Charro", you can watch the typical dresses for workers of those places and you can see the Spanish vaqueros...and they were the inception of workers for cattle in open lands of América , los vaqueros , not only in México but also in the big open lands of Colombia and Argentina.

    The vaqueros also made ropes from aloe fibers, commonly referred to as a grass rope. Roping was brought to New Spain by slaves from the Sahel region where they would attach a rope to a large rock, rope the cow and let it drag the rock around until it got tired. All in all, pretty good video.

    Greetings from the Cordillera Blanca , Peru. Interesting and creative video. Working from a horse’s needs instead of our own needs is key indeed. Some horsemen struggle with their own self-righteousness and focus, therefore the horse suffers from not being understood. I believe humility and taking time to get to know the horse are two of the key factors that many horsemen lack. Much to be said for sure. Maybe a greater problem yet is that man has put his trust in a creature and not in God who knows the creature .

    Legends are made by dying. The mystique of never knowing how truly great they were but assuming they were because everyone said so. I've watched videos of the old cowboys and horsemen of yesterday and they wouldn't even rate in today's competitive western world. All training techniques concerning the western horse have evolved and improved with each generation except for the most recent sport of reining who have invented the Hoover Vac/peanut pushers. Dorrance and Hunt were needed stepping stones of our western heritage and evolution to get to where we are today. And with all of the flags being sold over the years since the 80's where would all of these clinicians be without them? In the poor house with the rest of the cowboys. Where would we all be without the blue plastic tarp and the flag? Most of us would have to go home if we forgot to bring them. Honor the past but it's time to start thinking out of the box. These horsemen were not and are not Gods they were masters of their day.
