The vaquero is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that originated on the Iberian Peninsula and extensively developed in Mexico from a methodology brought to Latin America from Spain. The vaquero became the foundation for the North American cowboy.
In British Columbia, Northern Mexico, and the Southwestern United States the remnants of major and distinct vaquero traditions remain, most popular today as the Californio, Neomexicano, and Tejano traditions. The popular "horse whisperer" style of natural horsemanship was clearly combining the attitudes and philosophy of the traditional vaquero with the equipment and outward look of the modern cowboy. The natural horsemanship movement openly acknowledges much influence of the vaquero tradition.
