Cowboys traditionally moved cattle to railheads, where the animals could be loaded onto trains for transport to markets in the East. They often drove the cattle along cattle trails, such as the Chisholm Trail, which connected grazing lands in Texas to railroads in Kansas. This movement was essential during the late 19th century, as it facilitated the booming cattle industry in America.

How do cowboys and cowgirls get their horses to go and stop?
A good cowboy can 'read' the cattle. He knows where the cattle need to get to but the cattle will help choose the path. They will follow familiar trails. The cowboy uses his horse to 'push' the cattle in the direction and speed he wants. A good cowboy knows how hard to push different ages of cattle. Cows that move among familiar pastures regularly almost move themselves. Cowboys get the cattle gathered into a herd and then there are usually outriders on the sides to keep the cattle headed the right direction and then there are trailing riders who push the cattle at the proper speed.
