it is getting harder and harder to find a place where bicycles, ATV's and Rude Tourists and Jeep Convoys spook the horses or just plain try and pass you on the trails. They are even talking of letting bicycles run in Wilderness areas. I got a mule that kicks, we always put that one at the back of the string

Do you mean it is harder to find a place where these other people DON’T spook the horses? Otherwise your statement doesn’t make sense to me.

Bien hecho amigo. Que te vaya con Dios.

I am very happy to see how the old ways are still alive and preserved by very conscious individuals who like to take good care of their remuda (horses). Nonetheless, it is right and just to give credit to where credit is due. The "old ways" alive means in reality: the Mexican ways of reining alive. The Vaqueros and Chinacos of Alta California Mexico, were made up not only by white Spaniards but the majority and the best of them was made up of Mestizos, yes the mixture of Native people with other peoples that make up the Mexican people. The Mexican horsemanship was so widely reproduced and practiced with a religious devotion that it allowed it to be elevated to such a high degree that it resulted on such an exquisite refined horsemanship. This refined and very clever horsemanship, so subtle and gentle as to make use of a simple hip movement, a word or a sound was enough to make do marvels. The simple sound of a coscojo de espuela would be so strongly connected to the horse that no physical harm was needed, no pushing no spuring, just the simple sound of a coscojo was enough to make a horse pick up the rider. How about talking to the horse saying Oooh, just that word makes a Mexican horse come to a complete stop without the use of a rein movement. Amazing and extraordinary things like these are part of what makes up the Mexican horsemanship that has been practiced since the mid 1500's. The "vaquero" / "Californio" ways or horsemanship, is in reality the Mexican horsemanship that has been part of the cultural appropriation of the evil white man of the U.S. The Mexican Horsemanship is the Horsemanship of the Native people because Mexicans are Native and both Natives and Mexicans know it well. Therefore to give credit to the Mexican reining or Horsemanship is to give credit to the Native people which is right and just to give credit to.

Hi Alejandro. I am the person who made this video, and wrote the narration. I really appreciate your comment. Your point is very well stated. That is very true about the Vaquero traditions being due largely in part to the incredibly skilled riders of indigenous or Mestizos ethnicity. Their contribution was the true roots of this legacy. And you eloquently stated how these riders seemed to elevate horsemanship to a level of precision and pure art in an almost invisible communication with their horse. I hope more people will become interested in this rich history and continue the traditions for generations to come.

Liberty of absaroka wilderness fame.

Long ago, we owned a Tenn Walking Horse stallion, we called him The Black, same as in the movie. He has been abused by male trainers in his youth and thus didn't care for me. Thru judicious use of carrots and apples, plus hours and hours in the round pen, we became acquainted with each other and eventually were friends, sort of.

So many vaqueros are incredibly forceful and abusive. Its rare when there are ones that actually do it right, same with most self proclaimed horse trainers. True horseman, no matter what style they claim to ride, are few and far between. The horse industry in general is plagued with force and abuse. Thank goodness for my horses I learned from a true horseman.

Yes ma’am, the ultimate goal of my horsemanship is liberty! Liberty of movement across many pastures for my herds(such as can be accomplished within my own property lines or leases), and liberty riding under saddle or bareback for the highest form of consensual riding!

California Style

One mind can be achieved without the spade bit. So why use it?

:29 I disagree. Mostly what I've found is that people, "especially" the ones who have "Riden all my life" (preachers), really have a Lot, of bad habits that are difficult and take much relearning focus and try, to correct. Now. Your son. Obviously has not justa good handle on riding. But is more of an "anomaly", and has a Beautiful well cultivated grasp on equitation. ( and moreover, probably to a degree where he could ride just about any horse from a multitude of "disciplines" and really get it done beautifully.) And I'm not, the type of person who just says that. It's either factually correct and self evident. Or it ain't there. And again, I think that natural abilities can and do exist, but, I have noticed that they seem to exist a lot more, now that we've had natural horsemanship enter the ring. And it's overwhelming abundant supply of technical resources via the internet. Keep up the good work. It helps everyone. And it shows what "riding" should look like.

I don't agree with agressive bits...I do agree on more gentling, & not "breaking" a horse. I think the accutraments, or tack we use comes from Vaccaro traditions, but most modern Vaccaros, or Mexican /Spanish Rodeo I've seen...is rough ,cruel, & inhumane...so I don't think it has any business being applied to modern, & evolved horse training. Training the horse handler is the first step to properly training horses...otherwise, & without that first foundational step...a lot of good horses get ruined. I follow Craig Cameron. ..never seen him get heavy handed, or harsh with a horse, & he trains the human to be a better "horseman"...which leads to more positive outcomes training the horse. It's the horse/man relationship that needs to be fostered. "There are no problem horses. ..just problem people !" But a horse is a sensitive animal with a strong memory, & an instinctual fight, or flight mechanism hard wired in...so a good horse is born, but a bad experience can steal the potential of that animal for life !! Study before you apply the lesson, use positive reinforcement, keep lessons short, tolerable, & stop on a positive note. The horse should learn you are a safe leader, & want to be with you. Good horses are born...good trainers are people who are lifelong students of the horse...& "take the fear out of the horse", & build a relationship with their horse.

Although I do agree that it’s a gentle spirit that breeds initial consensus between horse and human, fear (or pressure) is also an instinct that allows follow through of consistency. Without it there would breed a stagnation of motion. In other words, there is a time and a season to everything…have you ever seen a stallion brutally kill a foal in the wild? To say that horses are not rough and cruel to each other is not appropriate to all circumstances. But I understand that for the untrained laity, gentleness is always the milk you want to build the foundation upon…before the meat of the substance (pressure) is applied. Blessings.

Ok, then become an even better horseman................leave the spade bit to the dust of time.

The Vaqueros were MEXICAN and NOT spanish. The vaqueros developed in Mexico for over 300 years and for him to say its "spanish" is completely ignorant and very offensive to Mexicans. Mexican TAUGHT American immigrants when they immigrated to the Mexican state of Texas. This white washing or should I say European washing of The Vaquero and its Mexican origins calling it spanish is highly appalling. The spanish empire brought HORSEMAN not Vaqueros! Horseman are found all over europe hardly unique to Spain. The horseman over 300 years transformed into what is now know as The Vaquero. The word Vaquero is a Mexican colloquial term it didnt even exist in spain. The vaquero invented the lasso, chaps, cowboy hat, cowboy boots and the rodeo etc. It is an integral part of Mexican culture from the beginning of Mexican Identity to call it "Spanish" is in bad taste. Thats like saying the first 13 colonies were British and any creativity or ingenuity that came about by American innovation/tradition is inherently English that America is just a copy of English culture.

The narrator in this story states, "vaqueros were expert riders, from the era of the Spanish haciendas'. The haciendas of Mexico were historically called Spanish haciendas, as this was a system developed in Spain and put into widespread use in Mexico.

@@OPB Yes the spanish HORSEMAN introduced the european equestrian practices because obviously there were no horse in America but thats where it ends because over the course of Hundreds of years they were no longer "spanish" we were forming a new identity which is called Mexico. The vaquero has spanish influence but its origins are originally from Mexico. THE vaquero is native to Mexico NOT Spain. They were called spanish but the people in "New Spain" were second class citizens so they really didnt identify as Spanish which is why they fought for independence. As a Mexican I am NOT Spanish. Vaquero werent even spaniard they were Mestizos. Vaquero was beneath a spaniard it was considered a poor mans job. It started as spanish and morphed into Mexican. Look at Americans. If you told Americans there culture isnt really American that it is English because Americans come from England and any innovations done are really of English origin you would be offended? The sky scraper is an American creation/invention but it is influenced by European knowledge and architecture however who invented the sky scraper? Bingo Americans thats why sky scraper are of American origin NOT English. To add the spanish soldier/Spaniard born people were pretty much gone and Texas was Mexico thats when Americans began to immigrate into Texas and thats how the "American cowboy" was born becasue Mexican taught the Americans. And then the Americans stole texas and many more states lol including the outfit and NEVER recognizing Mexicans if they do recognize anyone they say "spanish" because of the "racial issue" and the spaniards hate MEXICO so they have no problem with the white washing/european washing of Mexican culture and history. People are really sad! are arch nemesis (spain) still has such hate towards Mexico and love to claim all of our culture as theirs. I never see english people do that to america but unfortnately Mexicans have a huge division between us and spain not because we want it but because spain has created this were better than you bla bla bla. They are european (exclude UK) they arent that friendly in general. And they still feel like they have a right to Mexico like get over yourselves its Mexican history from North America you are in europe your colonizing days are over.

@@OPB Mexico has spanish influence that doesnt mean that the culture and tradition and innovation in Mexico is inherently spanish because its unique to Mexico NOT found in spain or any other latin country. It called is Mexican history NOT SPANISH HISTORY since spain is in EUROPE NOT north America Mexican ethnicity and Mexican culture in origin. The spanish didnt just die and Mexicans sprung out of the ground. All latin culture is not Spanish many have gone on to create their own culture with influence from spain but its NOT originally from spain. The vaquero has spanish influence but is Mexican in origin since it is ONLY found in Mexico and NOT in spain. Influence doesn't equate with origin. You cant claim or adopt a culture and claim its "Spanish" just because there are influences. The english have influence on Americans the first American were English but do Americans identify as English? No and How would you think an American would feel if British say American culture come from English becasue the first 13 colonies were english? It makes No sense you cant claim an entire country with an entirely different history just because you were a colonizer. Mexcio would have still been there even if spain never "discovered" mexico aka Mesoamerica. I hope this clears up the non sense that somehow Mexicans were spaniards when many NEVER considerd themselves spaniards because we were 2nd class citizens in our own country that was a sort of 'province" of spain at the time. And also spain doesnt have native american influences that Mexico has and the vaquero also has native american influences so how can Spain claim that they have entire influence on Mexican culture when a lot of are culture is also influenced by Native Americans of Mesoamerica something that does NOT exist in Spain.
