Doma Vaquera
is one of the styles of equitation in Spain,
another being Doma Clasica (classical
equitation).
Doma Vaquera
is a style of horse riding which enables the
rider to carry out daily duties on horseback on
a working cattle ranch. It was especially
developed out of the use of the horse for
handling the fighting bulls of Spain and grew
out of decades of daily work with them in the
open countryside.
The style of
riding, tack, dress and discipline of the
working horses evolved into what we see today.
It is still being used on working ranches, in
Doma Vaquera competition and more recently, Doma
de Trabajo (working equitation).
