Doma Vaquera

Faraon is trained in the Doma Vaquera style - the traditional spanish discipline based on the exacting work done by vaqueros with the bulls in the fields.

It is characterised by lightness of hand, and transmission of signals by weight and seat.The horse in turn presents with balance, lightness and immediate response.

The tack used is the traditional vaquero saddle and the vaquero bit.
Note how loosely the reins are held, often one-handed, using only their weight to transmit instructions.
