High boots, a wide-brimmed hat and a scarf around the neck, as well as the constant six-shot Colt - of course, we are talking about cowboys. During the existence of this profession, cowboys have become the most recognizable symbol of America, their images are captured in books and films, and the romance of the Wild West haunts many in our utilitarian age! V state of Montana and works today the company "Montana Horses"which deals with driving horses! Its workers are the last of the Mohicans to support an endangered culture!
The era of cowboys began in 1865, when it was necessary to drive giant feral herds of bulls into theft, mainly in Texas. Later, cowboys drove livestock from the cattle-breeding areas to the nearest train station. Cattle were driven across the desert prairies, so meetings with Indians or white bandits were inevitable. For a long time, cowboy culture flourished, but over the years, the true masters of their craft became less and less.
The founder of the modern company Montana Horses, the Mantle family, actively supports American traditions! Every year, employees of this company drive about 300 horses from winter pastures to the Mantle family ranch, which covers more than 200 hectares. During the move, cowboys are forced to travel by rail, wade across rivers, and also drive through many small towns. The path is about 55 kilometers, the "detachment" overcomes it in three days. Once the horses are delivered to their destination, they are rented for agricultural use as well as recreational horse riding in national parks.
