Back in the day, cowboys would usually sit on the western saddle, a specially designed saddle that helped them ride along with their livestock so they could keep their eyes on them. Beyond the saddle, they also wore leather chaps as pants; the chaps were made to protect cowboys from injury as a result of thorny bushes and difficult terrains.

To keep themselves entertained in the vast expanses of empty land they sometimes would play a musical instrument, usually the Harmonica, because it was easy to carry.
