Description
The most important possession of any cowboy was his horse and saddle. The saddles were often custom made and, next to his horse, was probably the most valuable item a cowboy owned. Horses were so important that horse stealing was considered a hanging offense. Cowboys wore special clothing that helped them with their jobs. They wore large 10 gallon hats to protect them from the sun and the rain and special cowboy boots with pointed toes that helped them to slip in and out of the stirrups when riding a horse.
The original image of the cowboy and horse was captured on the street in the Fort Worth Stockyards. The image was altered in Topaz Impression and the background texture is from "The Daily Texture".
