Book excerpt: The Doma Vaquera is a particularly intense riding technique, which was used in the seventeenth century by Spanish shepherds to brave the rough and often dangerous terrain of Andalusia. To this day, it has become a technique that, more than any other, proves how strong the bond can be between two individuals and, consequently, between riders and their horses. The work riding style has become a dance that equally delights spectators all over the world with a particularly wild and yet so elegant technique that cannot be seen anywhere else. But how exactly can this way of riding be learned, which today finds more and more enthusiasm and accordingly more and more interested people? Which horse breeds are particularly well suited for the quite difficult work and which expression is really the right one? Is it worth buying a traditional Doma Vaquera saddle, and what are the rules to be observed at a tournament? The contents of the book are as follows: - Historical background - Doma Vaquera - the traditional riding technique - The right horse - The equipment - Tournaments and events - Working Equitation This book is written for all those who find interest in reviving this old working equitation. However, this can raise some questions and especially young riders who have really fallen in love with this technique are often left in despair. To ensure that this is not the case, this book aims to answer all the necessary questions and encourage riders to throw themselves into this fascinating world.
Book Synopsis Equestrian Cultures in Global and Local Contexts by : Miriam Adelman
Download or read book Equestrian Cultures in Global and Local Contexts written by Miriam Adelman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume demonstrates the broader socio-cultural context for individual human-horse relations and equestrian practices by documenting the international value of equines; socially, culturally, as subjects of academic study and as drivers of public policy. It broadens our understanding of the importance of horses to humans by providing case studies from an unprecedented diversity of cultures. The volume is grounded in the contention that the changing status of equines reveals - and moves us to reflect on - important material and symbolic societal transformations ushered in by (post)modernity which affect local and global contexts alike. Through a detailed consideration of the social relations and cultural dimensions of equestrian practices across several continents, this volume provides readers with an understanding of the ways in which interactions with horses provide global connectivity with localized identities, and vice versa. It further discusses new frontiers in the research on and practice of equestrianism, framed against global megatrends and local micro-trends.

From the origins of the work of the vaqueros on the Spanish cattle pastures, a unique way of riding has developed. The roots are still firmly rooted in tradition and yet many riders are already enthusiastic followers of the Doma Vaquera. This book here is a basic introduction to riding, and in addition to the history and origins, includes everything you need to know about the basics as a new horseman: What clothes do you wear in the Doma Vaquera? What equipment does my horse need? What kind of horse is preferred and where can I buy one? What are the first steps? Which well-known trainers and riders are there? How can I get lessons for the Doma Vaquera myself? The book should catch every interested person and offer a good basis and background for a safe start.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equestrian pursuit known as Cowboy Dressage melds the best of Western riding traditions and classical dressage in the pursuit of a harmonious relationship with a horse. Intended to be accessible to all, Cowboy Dressage is open to all breeds and all levels of riders; there isn’t a set frame for overall look, head carriage, or action. Lifelong horsewoman Jessica Black traces the evolution of Cowboy Dressage back to its roots, sharing the story of Eitan and Debbie Beth-Halachmy and their phenomenal Morgan horses that have served as the movement’s ambassadors. Black then expertly weaves Eitan Beth-Halachmy's experience and expertise into an engaging and articulate explanation of the philosophy of Cowboy Dressage; defines the expectations of the rider; describes what a participant needs in terms of equipment; and explores how the most important element—the horse—should be prepared. A wonderful and thorough section on groundwork, as well as specific training advice for achieving engagement, regulating the gaits, smoothing transitions, and balancing bend and straightness, get the reader started with a solid foundation. Specific descriptions of the Cowboy Dressage tests are provided, with additional tools for those interested in competition, including rules, divisions, and how to execute and judge tests.

Book Synopsis Fine Horses and Fair-Minded Riders by : JuliAnna Ávila
Download or read book Fine Horses and Fair-Minded Riders written by JuliAnna Ávila and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we currently call “horse whispering” has roots in a form of western horsemanship that traveled from Europe to Mexico and the United States, and was then transformed by Native Americans and working cowboys into Vaquero horsemanship. Fine Horses and Fair-Minded Riders: Modern Vaquero Horsemanship documents the learning and practice of Vaquero horsemanship, which has survived as a vibrant part of horse culture. In her study, Ávila first focused on participants in the southeastern United States before expanding to include their mentors from across the United States. Ávila characterizes what she found as “a collapse of distance” between geographical and cultural boundaries, digital and physical spaces, and, most significantly, horses and humans. Influenced by New Literacies scholarship and employing a sociocultural theoretical framework, Ávila explores self-directed learning journeys; the flexibility of apprentice and expert positions; the influence of consumer culture; the philosophy and significance of the cultural roots of Vaquero horsemanship; the role of technology; and what the future of this continually evolving horsemanship might include. At the heart of this volume are personal stories and firsthand accounts from those who have studied modern Vaquero horsemanship, which can help to create exceptional and powerful bonds between horses and humans.
Book Synopsis Horse Training In-Hand by : Ellen Schuthof-Lesmeister
Download or read book Horse Training In-Hand written by Ellen Schuthof-Lesmeister and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working the horse from the ground—schooling "in-hand" as it has been known for centuries—has long been an integral part of classical horse training. Now, this gorgeously illustrated book explains in clear, step-by-step lessons how the modern-day horse owner can incorporate classical groundwork in her daily interactions with her equine partner—to both their benefit and enjoyment. Whether schooling green or young horses; retraining problem horses or those with poor foundations; warming-up advanced mounts prior to workouts; confirming lateral movements on the ground before attempting them on horseback; or supplementing everyday under-saddle exercises, work in-hand provides a wonderful way to advance the horse's education, as well as the standard of communication between horse and handler. Its gradual progression of work on the longe, double-longe, long lines, short reins, and long reins is the perfect addition to the training program that has grown a little stale or boring; the manageable solution to countless problems that commonly arise in daily work with horses; and by definition, an equestrian art form unto itself. With over 100 color photographs—including many detailed series shots—to demonstrate correct body positioning, and meticulously hand-drawn illustrations to guide you through the often-confusing land of lateral work, Horse Training In-Hand is the first book ever to help shed classical groundwork's mystique while conscientiously preserving its magic. Find out for yourself how schooling in-hand can give your training program a brand new look and feel, forever transforming "workouts" and "schooling sessions" into artistic endeavors that yield breathtaking results.

Book Synopsis Riding with seat aids - the science behind an almost forgotten art by : Brigitte Kaluza
Download or read book Riding with seat aids - the science behind an almost forgotten art written by Brigitte Kaluza and published by Brigitte Kaluza. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding with seat aids is based on two principles - the mutual transmission of body oscillations between horse and rider and the mutual, mostly subconscious perception of the body. Accordingly, riding with seat aids is traditionally also learned subconsciously, preferably in childhood by practicing on a horse acting as a teacher. Modern science, however, can explain how it works to ride with seat aids only. Whoever understands the biomechanics of the body oscillations of horse and rider can become aware of the communication via body perception and thus also consciously learn to ride in movement symbiosis with the horse.

Book Synopsis Gender and Equestrian Sport by : Miriam Adelman
Download or read book Gender and Equestrian Sport written by Miriam Adelman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together studies from various disciplines of the social sciences and humanities ( anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, history and literary theory) that shed light on the equestrian world as a historically gendered and highly dynamic field of contemporary sport and culture. From high level international dressage and jumping, polo and the turf, to the rodeo world of the Americas and popular forms of equestrian sport and culture, we are introduced to a range of issues that are played out at local and global, national and international levels. Students and scholars of gender, culture and sport will find much of interest in this original look at contemporary issues such as “engendered” (women’s and men’s) identities/subjectivities as equestrians, representations of girls, horses and the world of adventure in juvenile fiction; the current “feminization” of particular equestrian activities (and where boys and men stand in relation to this); how broad forms of social inequality and stratification play themselves out within gendered equestrian contexts; men and women and their relation to horses within the framework of current discussions on the relation of animals to humans (which may include not only love and care, but also exploitation and violence), among others. Singular contributions show how equestrian activities contribute to historical and current constructions of embodied “femininities” and “masculinities”, reflecting a world that has been moving “beyond the binaries” while continuing to be enmeshed in their persistent and contradictory legacy.
