YAKIMA, Wash. -- Cowboys, cowgirls. You know who they are by the clothes they wear. Sometimes.

You can spot them all around the Central Washington State Fair. A shiny buckle here, a worn pair of boots there. A wide-brimmed hat weaving through the crowd.

Put all those elements together and you'll probably find a horse nearby.

But how good are you at matching the accessories that complete its rider?

Above are 12 pictures of four people -- their hats, their buckles and their boots.

Which goes with which?

Try to guess by looking, or you can use our clues. Good luck.

* A winner wears boots with flowers but doesn't ride bulls.

* 2009 was a feather in his hat.

* The man in the black boots has spent more than a quarter century around horses.

* The bling-bling is on her belt, not her feet.

* For a dark match, look from head to toe.

* She wears a straw hat and her buckle is not a winner.

* A man with spurs turns up the brim of his hat.

* The old cowboy's hat doesn't match his boots.

 

A-G-J -- Buzz Widmyer of Yakima used to be one of the region's top calfropers and currently raises horses.

 

D-E-K -- Lisa Leitz of Selah is a chemical dependency counselor who uses her horse Lucky Lariat for therapy.

 

C-H-I -- Dean Seagle of Ford, Wash., is a landscaper by trade and helps organize rodeos around the state.
