The necessity for [[equestrianism|horse riders]] who guard herds of cattle, sheep or horses is common wherever wide, open land for grazing exists. In the French [[Camargue]], riders called "[[gardian]]s" herd cattle and horses. In [[Hungary]], [[Csikos|csikós]] guard horses and [[gulyás (equestrian)|gulyás]] tend to cattle. The herders in the region of [[Maremma]], in [[Tuscany]] ([[Italy]]) are called [[buttero|butteri]] (singular: ''buttero''). The [[Asturian people|Asturian]] pastoral population is referred to as ''[[vaqueiros de alzada]]''.

The Spanish exported their horsemanship and knowledge of cattle ranching not only to North America, but also to South America, where traditions developed such as the ''[[gaucho]]'' of [[Argentina]], [[Uruguay]], [[Paraguay]] and (with the spelling ''gaúcho'') southern [[Brazil]],<ref name=CattleKings243>Atherton, Lewis ''The Cattle Kings'' Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press 1961 {{ISBN|0-8032-5759-7}} p. 243.</ref> the ''[[wikt:chalán|chalán]]'' and ''[[Morochuco]]'' in [[Peru]], the ''[[llanero]]'' of [[Venezuela]] and [[Colombia]], and the ''[[huaso]]'' of [[Chile]].

In [[Australia]], where ranches are known as [[Station (Australian agriculture)|stations]], cowboys are known as [[Stockman (Australia)|stockmen]] and ringers, (''jackaroos'' and ''jillaroos'' who also do stockwork are trainee overseers and property managers).<ref name="MD">Delbridge, Arthur, "The Macquarie Dictionary", 2nd ed., Macquarie Library, North Ryde, 1991</ref> The Australian droving tradition was influenced by Americans in the 19th century, and as well as practices imported directly from Spain. The adaptation of both of these traditions to local needs created a unique Australian tradition, which also was strongly influenced by [[Australian Aborigines|Australian indigenous people]], whose knowledge played a key role in the success of cattle ranching in Australia's climate.
