Ya ever wonder why theyre called COWBOYS and not COWMEN?

If ya ever get to spend any time around a bunch of cowboys it is
obvious.

Like the bumper sticker says on the girls truck, " I expect more than
an 8 second ride...."

Never hear of riding the rigging?
Can't say I have either, but there's got to be a connection with
cowboys and cruising.
Got it. Midnight Cowboy.

Some planing hull racers hang from a trapeze with the feet at deck
edge, and the entire body out over the water. There is riding the out
of the water weather side bilge board on a well heeled scow.

Would it be drug store cowboy?

In Wikipedia there's the whole story:
From the early 1900's up until the mid 1920's, bareback bronc riding
was slowly becoming accepted as a professional rodeo sporting event.
The riding equipment - riggings or surcingles - used during that era
were a mixed lot ranging from just holding a horse's mane, called a
mane-hold, or holding a loose or twisted rope tied around the horse's
girth, to using two-handhold or three-handhold leather riggings.
But in the year of 1924, bareback rider and saddlemaker Earl W. Bascom
of Stirling, Alberta changed bareback riding history.

When the old rodeo rules of riding with two hands were being fazed out
and disallowed being replaced with the newer rule of riding with one
hand in the rigging and one hand in the air, Earl Bascom invented,
designed and made rodeo's first one-hand bareback rigging. Variations
of Bascom's rigging are still used in rodeos around the world.

Bascom's design came from a culmination of many years of bareback
riding experience. Bascom started rodeoing in 1916 and over the years
had made and used a variety of bareback riggings.

Taking a section of rubber belting discarded from a threshing machine,
Bascom cut out the entire rigging - the handhold and the body - all in
one piece. The handhold was folded back and riveted to the main body
of the rigging, with a 'D' ring riveted on each side for tieing the
latigos.

This rigging became rodeo's first one-hand bareback rigging when it
was used at the Raymond Stampede in Alberta, Canada in July of 1924.

That same year, Bascom refined his design, making his second one-
handhold rigging out of leather and rawhide. Sole leather was used for
the rigging body. Strips of leather, with rawhide sewed between, were
used for the handhold with sheepskin glued under the handholds to
protect the knuckles.

"Bascom's Rigging," as it was called, became the prototype of all
modern-day bareback riggings.

In the 1930's when the Cowboys Turtle Association was formed, the
Bascom Rigging was the cadillac of the industry and became
professional rodeo's standard design world-wide.

Honored in several Halls of Fame, Earl W. Bascom is known as the
"Father of the Modern-day Bareback Rigging."

Earl Bascom was one of the last great cowboys of the Old West era and
became internationally known for his western art and sculpture, as
well as for his rodeo equipment designs and inventions.
