The Art of the Garrocha
For the first time, the traditional art of the Garrocha is fully explained and demonstrated by John Saint Ryan (USA National Champion in Doma Vaquera 2004, 2005, and 2006) through a step-by-step process. Now, you can learn at your own pace using the traditional methods John teaches at his clinics.
This DVD will guide you in developing the skills necessary to practice this wonderful horsemanship art, as originally taught to John by experts such as José Manuel Martín de León. This film, suitable for beginners to intermediate riders, includes:
1. A brief history of the Garrocha
2. The tack and equipment
3. Exercises on the ground with the Garrocha
4. Exercises on horseback with and without the Garrocha
5. How to safely introduce the Garrocha to your horse
6. Basic exercises at the walk, trot, and canter with the Garrocha
7. Intermediate exercises at the gallop with more advanced maneuvers
8. Exhibition highlights from the National Championships

DOMA VAQUERA
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).
Modern Doma Vaquera competitions provide a challenging test for both the horse and rider. Practicality and precision are married together as the rider must be aware of the true nature of these tests which are performed in a 60m x 20m arena. At advanced level the requirements include all the maneuvers a horse would need to make when facing a fighting bull, such as explosive gallops from a standing start, skid stops, lateral yielding and canter pirouettes.
