A Cowboy is a term that is usually meant for a male that herds animals, like cows, horses and other livestock. Started in North America in the late 19th century. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for or participate in rodeos.They ride horses and wear cowboy hats, many slept on their horses while riding. Cowgirls had a less-well known historical role, but did much of the same work that the men did.
