Cowboys and Cowgirls

Cowboys are American workers who care for cattle, typically from on horseback. The heyday of the American Cowboy was in the late 19th century, the days of long cattle drives. Cowboys were typically young men (or less commonly women) in the American Southwest, who were responsible for driving the cattle to and from market and for keeping the ranch in shape between drives.

How do cowboys and cowgirls get their horses to go and stop?

A good cowboy can 'read' the cattle. He knows where the cattle need to get to but the cattle will help choose the path. They will follow familiar trails. The cowboy uses his horse to 'push' the cattle in the direction and speed he wants. A good cowboy knows how hard to push different ages of cattle. Cows that move among familiar pastures regularly almost move themselves. Cowboys get the cattle gathered into a herd and then there are usually outriders on the sides to keep the cattle headed the right direction and then there are trailing riders who push the cattle at the proper speed.
