What is Doma Vaquera?
Doma Vaquera is a Spanish equestrian discipline that originated from the fieldwork of the Andalusian cowboy, with the horse managed with one hand.
Detailed explanation
Doma Vaquera originated in the Andalusian pastures and in the handling of wild cattle by cowboys. It has been codified as an equestrian discipline with its own regulations under the RFHE. It is traditionally ridden with one hand, in short riding attire, and exercises such as "arreones" (short, fast gallop), sudden stops, backing up, and the vaquera pirouette are performed. The Pure Spanish Horse is the characteristic breed.
