Born in the early 1950's, I grew up working my Grandfather's ranch in Central Texas, my Uncles' places in the Texas panhandle and up into Kansas, and my Father's operation in North Texas. I was around hands from Texas and surrounding states, the Plains, the far southwest (Arizona & California), and even a few from the southeast (Louisiana to Florida). They had different gear, traditions, methods of doing things, and dialects (every area had special words for things I had to learn). There were rivalries and proud talk between the men from different areas, but, they were all good cowboys and the crews always worked well together.

[@valentecupido1105]

The vaqueros originate in central Mexico and then spread in all directions including northern Mexico, which is now the southern United States. So yes, the cowboys have their origin in Mexico, The anglo-saxons moved the border and the Anglo-Saxons adopted the culture.

Do note, most of the "vaqueros" on the thumbnail and other photos are actually Mexican Charros. The wide brim and the giant horn are characteristic of the charro. Californio and Mexican vaqueros have smaller horns and smaller brimmed hats. We can see this with the soldados de cuera, the vaqueros native to San Diego and Santa Barbara, and other regional vaqueros.

this is not necessarily true , the apperel worn by the charros is the way the vaquero dresses south of the border ,IF the U.S would not have won the war the California vaquero would look almost the same . I seen a photo of a Californio & his wife in the 1880s & the fashion was extremely similar to that in mainland Mexico (almost 30 years after war) . a charro is a person that practices the sport of charreria but a charro is a VAQUERO

Like the low crowned wide brimmed hat or cordobè hats?

[@slrdf1758]

@@BrandonPerez-ob7hs Not exactly. The original hats used by mayordomos, land grant owners, and etc had a high pointy crown and a medium brim, which were the type of hats that some of the settlers from Northern Spain brought. Most of these hats can be seen in drawings of California missions and from forts in Nootka. However, some of the drawings of the soldiers and a few mayordomos show castoreño style hats with a low and round crown with a wider brim. José Cardero's "soldado y su mujer" drawing depicts a hat that's similar to a cordobés hat, but it doesn't appear to be the same.

[@vaquero7x]

It did not start in California nor in Texas (This is an anglosaxon version) The jineta and la brida system were brought to what is now Mexico. However, it evolved from the old Spanish system to the New Spanish system (La Nueva España). One of the most important invention was the saddle head ( erroneously called horn in the USA). The new vaquero system originated in the state of Mexico and from there it traveled to all the North and south of present day Mexico before it got to California and Texas.

Under the Spanish Government in "Nueva Espana" 1526-1821, later Mexico 1821-1848, "Las economiendas" or land grants is where you would have your "Hacienda", this was usually for a pure Spaniards and could sometimes be non-Spanish, Galacians, Basque, Portuguese, French, Italians, Croations, Germans. Most Ranchos in Northern Mexico, Primera Alta, Sinaloa, Sonora, "Nueva Viscaya", Chihuahua, Durango had cattle and and Charros, Vaqueros and rancheros to work the cows, with the skills they brought from Spain or learned from the Spaniards, some who later became Mexicans. Mexico is a nationality, when the people started mixing they called it "La Nueva Raza", which is mostly a "Mestizo" or mixed or "half-breed". Often time, "Las economiendas" would have a silver mine or some other business interest, maybe Mescal or Tequilla production. Part of your land would be for the mixed race peoples that worked for you this usually ended up being a town, and also an area separate for the indigenous people that you own and worked for you. Most families that had land grants intermarried with other pure blood Spaniards that were related to them. Some of the pics you showed are of Spanish soldiers and Mexican Charros. It is similar to the video of Don Pio de Jesus Pico, many of us ended up with Spanish, Basque, Galacian, indigenous bloodlines, and a little African. Don Pio's decendants are DNA match to me and he is part Yaqui. Many of my Estrada relatives received land grants in California, but My direct line had 2 grants in Sonora with 2 Silver mines and lots and lots of cattle.

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.

Don’t forget the African Moors, lots of Spanish culture comes from there.

[@Sean-bz8ri]

Cowboys/vaqueros actually have three historical roots. The Arabs, Spanish, and the Natives. Arabs/moors taught the Spaniards, Spaniards taught the natives, and of course the Mexicans taught the Americans. I wouldn't say cowboys are originally a "Mexican" thing, but they're definitely a Hispanic (regardless of race) thing as opposed to an Anglo or Germanic thing.

[@franciscotellez1436]

what Americans do you refer , natives , spanish , are the Mexicans , anglo Brits germans where not yet americanos , spanish was spoken in all the americas for more than 150 years before the anglo saxon arrived in these lands.

[@ele8191]

Only thing that came from Spain and the Arabs is the old style of ranching which was done with a stick. It's in Mexico where roping was developed along with most of the modern look, taking from Euro and Native American things as that's what Mexicans are. It developed into more of a cultural thing than simply labor. It's even where bull riding and charreria began as early rodeo.

[@abdulazizclare9545]

The Moros or Moors mix Muslim people of Al Andalus in Spain. Such as Berbers, West Africans, Arabs and Iberians. These people introduced a type of livestock and herding culture to Spain and Portugal. How can vaqueros be a Mexican thing? The Caribbean had the first Spanish settlments in the Americas and first Iberian livestock(1492). We the first mestizos (Tainos x Spanish) ground zero of the Colombian exchange. Native Caribbean tribes are the first to see cattle and horses not Aztecs and Mayans. Cortes got to Mexico in 1519 the islands like Cuba,Jamaica and Hispanola had ranching long before that 1500. The Spanish in the Caribbean had blacks from Spain and West Africa long before Mexico. They also took on vaquero culture with native Americans of the West Indies. What is Mexican are Rancheros, Charros and Chinacos. But vaqueros thats a West Indian Hispanic. All ranching cultures have a BBQ look at Jamaica which was under Spain from 1494-1655 we have (Jerk) bbq as we had ranching long before Mexico.

[@eddieg4450]

​@@abdulazizclare9545 Can't you read, what is considered "cowboy" came from Mexico NOT Spain or anywhere else. No one denies the Spanish influence they spread THEIR methods of ranching EVERYWHERE they went. In Mexico who the ppl are native, Spanish or a mix "mestizo" of the two, they created the saddle horn, roping, chaps, rodeo, bull riding, everything that is associated with the culture and ways of working cattle, it is unique to Mexico. That's why you won't find saddles with horns and the lasso outside of Mexico, and the two other people who were taught directly by MEXICANS which were first the Hawaiians in the 1830s then the Anglos who later stole more than half of Mexico. Everywhere the Spanish went they still use the old Spanish way, open your eyes and stop being a hater. And barbacoa aka barbecue was a native American way of cooking NOT a Spanish way, the Spanish learned it from the native Americans and exported it throughout their empire.

If you look in old Spanish documents long before 1492 look up that date. Andalusian vaqueros on horse back in marshlands with fighting bulls and other types of cattle. The vaqueros in Spain was 200 cattle to two vaqueros. Also they always had a knife and a long pole. As for vaquero culture moving out of Mexico, a lot of US today was Mexican. Texas, California, Colorado, new Mexico and other places had vaqueros they did not move there it was Mexico. Even Florida was under Spain and had vaqueros look it up. Florida is not English word. As for Hawaii it's a island and in no way is it's vaquero culture older than Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti, Dominican republic or Paurto Rico. We had the first "ganado" in the Americas. Columbus came to the Caribbean first not Mexico in ships with livestock the native Caribbean people saw cattle and horses long before Aztec or Mayans. We are also the first meztiso Taino x Spanish. First to see Christian church, European ships, Spanish forts, dogs, swords, guns, gold mining. First wars with Spanish and native Americans was Caribbean. I saw ranching had BBQ Mexican style. We have same thing as we love hot peppers Jerk BBQ is very spicy. Barbaca is Arawak word which became Spanish barbacoa. Arawak are Caribbean native Americans. It's slow smoked cooked meats 5-6 hours wood 🔥. You not the first vaqueros and BBQ is also in the Caribbean from Native culture not Spanish.

I appreciate your effort and time. Creating is the hardest part of development and progress. Then comes the process of refinement. Perhaps a list of references would be useful to stop such bantering in the comments. Conquerors, the Roots of New World Horsemanship by Dr. Deb Bennett would be an excellent place to start as she provides an extensive bibliography for those interested. In Conquerors, one will learn of Gregorio de Villalobos who landed the first load of calves on the banks of the Panuco River and the beginning of the glorious history of the Mexican vaqueros in 1520. From that book one will learn much, and then much more from the Bibliography. Such as the triad of moving cattle and vaqueros into the U.S., in Florida, New Mexico, and California (not at the same time). I must learn Spanish as so much of the recorded history is in that language. If we don't, we are at the mercy of the bias of translators. The water is always clearest closest to the source...That's Cowboy Logic. Again, good job and effort.

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.

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.

Regardless of stories and rumors.. the vaquero was born in Mexico hands-down, that doesn't mean other countries weren't influenced by the Spanish as they jumped from place to place. The style and etiquette developed in Mexico and eventually made its way to northern portions which were at one point Mexico's land. Many will argue that Jamaica, Cuba, and every other place cowboyed first, but not like Mexico. Since the early 16th century Mexico has been the epicenter of the cowboy tradition, which later brought in Native American & African American as it migrated north to America.

Yes, correct. Mexico evolved it into what we see today but didn't clarify it enough though. The Spaniards would restrict Mestizos from using their equipment as they saw them as low class. Techniques were developed on how cattle were handled and horses were trained due to terrain & climate differences is what made the cowboy in Mexico different.

Good video. But vaquero actually started in central Mexico not California or Tejas. It spread up north later on then the anglo adopted and twisting it making the the rest of anglos believe it was something they came up, invented like everything else.

Horses Were Never Brought by Spain the horse were already here that's why the Americas Primarily Mexico Including the donkey always roamed wildly .... The Lakota's were know as the Horse People.. That's why México's Music Culture and Clothing Folklore , The songs are all stories of the history of the Vaquero and Its history ... Called Corridos ..Mexico is the Only country IN The world that has Endless History in there Own Music unlike anywhere else in the World!!!!..""In Spain This is not Present ""! not even in there History or Music ...it does not exist ..They dont even have the Dress attire...

You are trying to twist history. The vaquero is not an aglosaxon culture. Your true horsemanship is the English riding system from the east

[@broomtailcountry]

I’m not trying to twist history.

[@broomtailcountry]

The vaquero is not anglosaxon. Anglo saxons did begin utilizing vaquero techniques to manage their livestock once they learned of the ways of the vaquero.

[@stuglenn1112]

You don't know history. Both Spanish and English horsemanship and riding are different branches from the same tree of horsemanship that was developed in Europe in the early 1400's. Any claim that Vaquero horsemanship and training methods are not direct descendants of Spanish is both absurd and ignorant.
