'''Cowboy''' is a term for a man hired by a rancher to drive or tend to [[cattle]] or [[horse]]s on the open range, often on horseback, as well as maintaining the ranch fixtures and fencing.  Originating after 1850 from [[Mexico|Mexican]] ''vaqueros'', the cowboy developed into an icon of the American west.
