A Swing Rider was a cowboy who rode closely along each side of the herd, about a third of the way back from the Point Rider who led the cattle. Among Jakes duties are to keep the herd together and be constantly on the lookout for any animals that might try to stray or break away. Swing Riders also backed up the Point Man when the herd would turn. If the Point Man had to leave his position, a Swing Rider would ride in his place until he returned.
