Cowboy Culture — Historical Literature
Cowboy Culture — a Saga of Five Centuries , David Dary
In case you only want to read just one single book about the history of cowboy culture(s), this is probably the one. We -again- revisited this Best Seller by David Dary, published by Alfred A. Knopf, and we were as pleased as the day this work reached the shelf of the bookstores way back the day in 1981.
One day, this book may become a high school curricular about Cowboy Culture(s). In a clear and distinctive manner this book comprises broadly the two main cowboy cultures; the Spanish vaquero culture of the Americas and the Anglo cowboy culture. Chronologically within the historical and contextual context, including the socio-economical aspect. The in-depth view on the operational aspects, the detailed evolutionary closeups on working techniques, saddles, tack, attire, housing, quality of life etc. make this work not only highly interesting for the enthusiast but is also a work of reference.

CERTIFICATION
Formal Recognition for Every Western Horse
No matter how advanced equine breeding science, in every operation you find a barn-name-only (or no name) mount, who is one of the favorites when it comes to getting the job done. The never-sick, always willing, all-weather enduring Jack, Spotty, Holly, Pepper,... or even no name at all.
Often they're crossbreds, a trade, a bargain, and... turned out to be a diamond in the rough that even cut and polished itself. On the level of paperwork, these four-legged friends never received a lot of documented recognition. Besides lovely captions in photo albums, seldom do they become part of historical documents and records. Of course, studbooks can't welcome them in the case of crossbreds for example. They're seldom found in showing industry because their main arena is at the ranch, stockyards, or on trails, and other soils of daily work.
Nonetheless, these undocumented horses represent the nature and history of the horse of the West, who are all descendants from a limited number of through colonization imported horses. They were destined to populate and make it through natural and human selection to become the loyal partners who helped to establish the West. Some of the exceptions of the no-name horses are found in the early lines of our greatest studbooks, but most of them remained anonymous.
Today, we provide recognition to every Horse of the West by a certificate based on form-to-function visual examination and usage of the horse.
