THE AMERICAN COWBOY

The enduring legend of the Wild West. Today everyone wants to be a cowboy. Most are fooling themselves. But, if you are fool enough to try, here are a few instructions on How To Be a Cowboy.

To the one who taught me it all. Love you much Cowboy Neil.

ANATOMY

THE HAT

Reserved for Kenny himself.

PEARL SNAPS

Shirts are basic. As long as you are covered, they are approved. Extra points for a Wrangler pearl snap shirt. * Cue Me and My Kind

THE KENNY CHESNEY A true classic. THE CATTLEMAN And not the Bass Pro kind. DIRTY OLD BALL CAP DENIM

HIGH WAIDERS

Not a good look.

SKINNY JEANS

We don’t want to see that much.

A cowboy staple...and hot too. COWBOY CUT WRANGLERS

Your not a princess. Stop acting like one. THE POINTED TOE Don’t rope. Don’t matter. ROPER STYLE BOOT

JORDANS

If you wear them on the ranch, your gonna crease em’ buddy.

BOOTS MULLET

Only cool if you are Jack Frost. FROSTED TIPS Could be good. Could be nasty. PERMED AT HOME

Only if you just got of a 400 day cattle drive. STRAIGHT AND GREESY

BUCKLES

Just remember. Your buckle is your trophy. Choose wisley. Ideally, wear one you won. Never wear one you bought on EBay.

PRO TIP:

Real cowboys wear pit vipers.

Don’t question it. Just wear them.

COWBOY CULTURE

JOHN WAYNE

THE LEGENDS

Just the icons you should really know.

JOHN WAYNE

The cowboy we all wanted to grow up to be. Sign the petition to keep his statue at the John Wayne Airport.

LOUIS L’AMORE

The world doesn’t know the gold these books are. Visit your local thrift store and buy the whole collection for $0.88 a piece.

CHRIS LEDOUX

World Champion Cowboy. World Class music. Even if you don’t like his music, pretend you do. #realcountry

JOHN WAYNE

LANE FROST

“A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan, died there in the rain and mud in July in Cheyenne. “

“I am the super puncher, cream of the crop, but you can be second baby.”

DALE BRISBY MICHAEL LANDON

Although his cowboy cred could be questioned, he has the heart and soul of a cowboy. Feel the Little House nostalgia yet?

DYNAMO 373

The only real deal cowboy on TikTok. #thefamousbisonwrangler.

COWBOY LINGO

Texas also approved to come at the end of this statement.

GOD BLESS No cowboy actually says this... HOWDY Not permitted in the presence of your mother. SH*T

Just use the term cowboy please. COWGIRL Toughen up buttercup. SNOWFLAKE Call it a rope. Just a rope. LASSO

Guess what. I don’t care.

COWBOY’S BEST FRIEND

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Brooks and Dunn. Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley. Johnny and June. Jim and Jessica. A cowboy isn’t complete without his partner.

Just in case your buddies or horse gets on your nerves... kidding. Ever consider a gun your BFF? No? Well its cause you ain’t a cowboy.

All a cowboy needs is a good horse and everything else comes together.

GEORGE,

ALAN AND THE BOYS

Need I say more? The golden era of country.

THE BUDDIES

Ranking #3 on our list is the buddies. Bros before hoes? No. Cowboys like their hoes.

YOUR GIRL #1

Ideally not a hoe. Or a buckle bunny. If she wears vintage denim, you got a good one.

JESUS

Jesus is any real cowboys best friend. And that is a fact.

THE COWBOY CODE

THE COWBOY CODE

1. Live each day with courage.

2. Take pride in your work.

3. Always finish what you start.

4. Do what has to be done. 5. Be tough, but fair.

6. When you make a promise, keep it. 7. Ride for the brand.

8. Talk less and say more.

9. Know where to draw the line.

10. Love God and your neighbor. The cowboy represents the best of America — the courage, optimism and plain hard work. Cowboys are heroic not just because they do a dangerous job, but also because they stand for something.

HOW TO BE A COWBOY

“I got to thinking about all the stuff we worry about and I realized that all a man really needs is a horse you can catch when you need him. A dog that’ll come when you call. A good friend who owns an arena. A trailer that’s legal to haul. A woman who’ll share my frustrations when the cow market’s falling apart. A pair of good spurs. A saddle that fits. And a one-ton Ford pick-up that starts. Everything else is window-dressing”
