The term "Vaqueros" refers to skilled horsemen and cattle herders in the American West, particularly in regions influenced by Spanish and Mexican culture. They played a crucial role in the development of ranching and cattle industries, using techniques and tools that have shaped modern cowboy practices. Vaqueros are often associated with traditional attire, including wide-brimmed hats, leather chaps, and boots. Their influence can be seen in the culture of the American Cowboy, as well as in rodeos and western films, where their legacy continues to be celebrated and recognized.
