Cowboy Culture .... saddle up!

¡buenos dias! ....today we are reporting from the famous Santa Susana Gaucho Ranch  in the countryside of Argentina.
What is a Gaucho? Do you know?

A Gaucho  is a resident of  South America and found principally in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Bolivia. In the Argentine pampas gauchos are the main workers on an Estancia which is a ranch. Their duty is to herd cattle all year round.They are excellent horsemen.They also use different types of weapons like the bola and lassos for herding cattle.

Life is like a wild horse. You ride it or it rides you.

Linda! Where is your "at the moment single" hat?
