The Basics of Buying Cowboy Boots

The horse has been used in warfare since as early as 4000 BCE, but a cowboy wouldn't care. There is archaeological evidence in the steppes of Eurasia of fortified towns being built to defend against horse-riding bandits and raiders. In 1350 BCE, the Hittite tribe developed a written manual for successfully breeding and conditioning chariot horses. Thus, since before written history and throughout the recorded development of mankind, horses have been a powerful ally to victorious armies and successful agriculturalists. In America's Wild West of the 19th century, cowboys became famous for their horse-riding and cow-herding skills. Wild mustangs could fetch a high price for breeding with other stocks of horses. Outside of warfare, horses became necessary tools of the cowboys for handling livestock and traversing arid lands.
