The Owl Yuna has always been dreaming about visiting the Wild West and to try on a hat. The Wild West is a dangerous place where every day is full of shootouts, chases, bank robberies like in a Hollywood blockbuster. The cowboys symbolize the Wild West for centuries. But how truthful are all stories and films about those cool boys? Do you want to know? Yuna is ready to tell you:1. The term cowboy appeared in Ireland, not America. It was used to call a rider who was looking after a flock. 2. Cowboys worked for rich farmers. They distilled cattle. Most of all they distilled cattle from Texas to north-western states and it took about one year. 3. The real cowboys used small horses and pony for work. They had to change them about six times a day. 4. Most time they were riding horses and throwing lassos, not fighting on guns as it is shown in Hollywood thrillers. 5. Hollywood movies tell us that cowboys were feuded with the Indians. This is completely wrong because most of the cowboys were Indians.6. Films feature cool saloon shootouts. But real life was much different in those days black powder was used. Therefore, after the first shot, the heavy, pungent smoke made everyone gasp for breath and run out into the fresh air. Thats why gun fightings didnt happen inside the buildings. 7. The cowboys weren't the drunkards as movies show. It was forbidden to drink alcohol, play cards and use foul language during long runs of cattle.8. There was a cowboy codex of moral and ethical rules.9. The appearance of the cowboys was very different. In those days jeans did not exist, as well as checkered cowboy shirts. And instead of hats, cowboys wore Mexican sombreros. Although real cowboys were completely different from movies personages, they are still cool guys for us. After all, they had a hard and dangerous job, filled with romance and a spirit of adventure. Get ready for the adventures to the Wild West with Yuna, if you think so.Would you like to ride the endless road, throw the lasso and shout out eeeeehhhhaaaa!?
