One of the most intriguing aspects
of the American cowboy image in movies
and books, is how little credit is given
to the original American cowboy,
the vaquero.

This young woman from the
Cruz del Diablo ranch can ride and rope
as good as any man, whether she’s wearing
lipstick or not.

That’s why I call her “Vaquera”.
