Traditional
horsebreaking. Latin America has the reputation of using brutal
methods in the breaking of young horses. In today's rural South
America, the breaking of work horses is left to the domadores
(specialized hands) whose practices are inspired by the Gaucho tradition.
Doma
racional. Traditional horsebreaking is surprising in its brutality.
Yet today, the doma racional practiced by Martín Hardoy
is influenced by ethology and is thus closer to the methods of
well-know, gentle horse whisperers. This new technique is expanding
annually over the different regions of Latin America.
Criollo
Horse Tack. The traditional Argentine saddle, the recado,
is composed of many layers of blankets, pieces of leather, and sheepskins
placed on the horse's back in a particular order. Each part of a
recado has a well-defined role which varies from protection
against transpiration to decoration. The last layer of sheepskin
serves as a seat for the rider, making it very comfortable to ride.|
