Buckaroo in itself has a rich cultural history, like the style of hat and clothes he wears, unique gears and the kind of saddle he prefers, is a sign of rich cultural origins and traditions. A Buckaroo from the Great Basin country of northern Nevada, southern Idaho, northeast California and southeastern Oregon often wear flat hats, chinks, and ride A-fork saddles with post horns and bucking rolls. Traditionally their gear displays lots of silver and is fancier than some other areas of the country.
Buckaroo gears and style of handling horses is increasingly becoming quite popular in other parts of the country and the world due to unique techniques and cultural origins. Unfortunately, numerous American mistaken every Cowboy for Buckaroos as if they all were the same.

This saddle was padded with wool or horsehair and covered in leather or fabric. The Mexican Vaqueros adapted the saddle, which had a heavy, rigid tree, high fork, high cantle, deep-dished seat, leather skirt and short stirrups.
In the late 's, the Mexican "California" saddle came about. It had a fixed, round skirt, along with a more substantial rigging. The rigging, which consisted of a cinch ring that hung down in line with the front fork and a horizontal strap that ran from the cinch to the back of the tree, secured the saddle.
The strong high-peaked pommels of this saddle were ideal for taking a turn around a rope for holding an animal. The Texans then altered the design even more.
They kept the wooden tree, horn, cantle and stamped leather but they modified the wooden horn so it was short, thick and covered in leather.
The skirt was changed to a plain square skirt and the stirrups were made out of wide, bent pieces of wood which were much stronger than the ones previously used. A second cinch was also added to firmly anchor the saddle.

Other similar games exist with different objects e. James Bond explains the game to a group of ten girls who are part of a biological weapons terror plot. A napkin covers a glass and a coin is placed on it. Players take turns to singe the paper with a cigarette end and the game ends when one of them causes the coin to fall into the glass. This was apparently a popular game around this time and probably goes back much further than this. Is there any evidence of an earlier date?
Actually, even older is Russian Roulette which goes back to at least It is normally a game for two but can be for multiple players. The main difference between this and other cresendo games is that once a game is finished, if you want to have another game, any former losers are prevented from joining in.
Also, there is more clearing up to do than is typical with other games of this type.
