The American Cowboys, I Didn't Know.

Cowboys are based on mexican vaqueros. The word buccaro, i didn't know, comes from vaquero. They were really fussy about the colour of their horses. If you're proper gouche, all your horses had to be perfectly colour matched. And so you get piebald horses, like white with black splodges. But you want the black splodgers as perfectly matched as possible to each other. Really.
