Most of us know the multiple uses that have been given to the horse throughout the history of the human being. This has been changing over the years because the horse has been incorporated into the various activities of the performing arts. This is how the role of the horse in the circus becomes relevant depending on the shows in which it participates.

The horse takes a leading role in many circuses because it is presented in various choreographies that highlight the steps of the horses. The dance of the horses is a true feat of these intelligent animals.

On the other hand, one of the characteristics of everyday circuses is the circular or oval shaped tracks in which the presentations of these are carried out.

Circuses exist since ancient times and one of the innovators in this area is Philip Astley. Therefore we will know a little more about Philip Astley

The horse in the circus and Philip Astley

Philip Astley was a military, rider and acrobat from the United Kingdom. His military carreer put him in contact with horses. Military training allow him develop many skills in the art of riding.

So this person came up with the brilliant idea that the shape of the circus was circular to facilitate presentations with horses. These took place in the spaces of the Astley Amphitheater specifically in the second cycle of the 18th century.

After his career in the military world and close experience with horses, he came up with the idea of riding a number with horses. This project was carried out with the support of his spouse.

One of the most outstanding shows produced by Philip Astley is where he stands on a horse while he jogs. So there he discovered that galloping in a closed circle the concentric force stopped him from falling and allowed him to perform extraordinary feats in the circus.

The use of the concentric force facilitated the balance for performing the stunts while maintaining spectacularity and safety. This kind of feats that is now common in circuses should be thanked to Philip Astley.

This is one of the examples of the role of the horse in the circus and little by little this has evolved.

Shows designed for the horse in the circus

As we have already mentioned, the role of the horse in the circus is reduced to the shows in which this animal participates. Therefore, one of the most popular numbers in the field of circuses is the riders’ turns on horses.

The horses made a considerable amount of laps on the track, nodding their athletic riders. They also held hands creating equine rows of unique beauty. The evolutionary shows and the choreographies of the High Spanish Riding School of Vienna were developed in their tour of various countries.

” That one who has more Circus nights under his belt is the one who first enters the Kingdom of Heaven.” Alfredo Marqueríe

Undoubtedly, people who have lived experience in high-class circles have witnessed a great show. Those who have witnessed shows with various animals will not have lived in vain. For the vast majority these shows are a very rewarding experience.

Likewise, those who have executed can take their life mission for granted or at least this is what the aforementioned Alfredo Marquierie quote conveys.

French company Ô Cirque

The French company Ô Cirque has the presentation “Le vent était de la triche”. This event is an equestrian cabaret where they show the pirouettes on horseback, the fixed trapeze and the clown fit with the chanson and the rock.

Ô Cirque is characterized by being an equestrian circus, this is close to the idea that Philip Astley instituted. The company Ô Cirque is made up of Gilles Audejean, a frequent and rigorous tamer, with the body carved by the union with the horses. Also part of this team is Christophe Sigognault, clown and theatermacher.

One of the curiosities of the circular shapes of the circuses was established by the horse in order to make the trot more fluid. In this way it also facilitated standing up and gymnastics. So the company Ô Cirque refers to what at the time the visionary and innovator Philip Astley raised.

We can see how this is one of the circuses that are dedicated to presenting equestrian events. There they show the charm and skills of the horse as well as the riders who drive them. In short, a magical combination that delights spectators and horse lovers.

The French company Ô Cirque looks forward to presenting its equine spectacle of great excellence that delights attendees. In this space the role of the horse in the circus is shown, as it is its main attraction.

Animal protection organizations against the use of horse in the circus

In most of the events and shows that animals use are the target of animal protection organizations. For no one is a secret that many times these animals are subjected to physical and psychological abuse. So they have sufficient reasons to be against this abominable practice.

Hence, in various countries it has been a constant struggle to eradicate these types of events with animals. In some countries they have even been banned for what is an advance not only for animal protection organizations but for humanity.

If these horses are tamed naturally, that is to say that they have not been mistreated they can be an exception. However, as far as wild animals are concerned, the dynamics change. They, by their nature, are subjected to psychological and physical abuse frecuently. These animals like tigers, lions, monkeys, elephants do not deserve to be there. Wild animals must be in their natural habitat.

The horse as a center of attraction for circus events

One of the attractions of the circus events was the horse. That is why horse-loving people focused their conversation topics based on these beautiful animals. So much so that they knew the smallest details in relation to their positive and not so positive characteristics of these.

One of the horses that stood out the most were the funals, and even the spectators had total admiration. The foals that walked outside and located on the right. That skill was important to prevent the car from tilting when turning and circling the goal.

In order for the event to have high standards of excellence, they made a rigorous selection of the horses. It is important a good selection of horses that were going to participate. Later for the fourth century, Vegecio cataloged the horses according to their specific utility, that is, for war, circus or saddle.

In this sense the best horse for the circus were the Cappadocians, Hispanic and African Sicilians.

Future of horse in the circus

Throughout mankind history and in most of the circuses that have emerged in the world horses have played an important role. In this sense, they were not only used as a means of transport but as protagonists of circus events.

This event has evolved over the years, as they have perfected the techniques in their presentations. So some equestrian circuses are famous because of the quality of their choreographies. Without a doubt, a sample of how intelligent horses are.

For circuses that work their shows with horses, it is advisable at the time of dressage to be as bearable as possible and even by an expert in equine ethology. This way it will be less traumatic for these sweet and sensitive animals.

Since its inception, cinema has involved the horse in its productions. That is why a lot of cinematographic productions include the horse within the main characters. In many cases, the cinematographic stories revolve around the protagonist and his horse. In this installment we will delve into The Mustang the movie.

The production called The Mustang is performed by Matthias Schoenaerts, Jason Mitchell, Gideon Adlon, Connie Britton and Bruce Dern. The main story of this film focuses on the life of a convict who participates in a rehabilitation program based on the training of wild horses of the Mustang race.

The Mustang the movie is a dramatic genre production that recently debuted. This film production is governed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre based on the script prepared with the participation of several writers, among them we can mention the following: by Clermont-Tonnerre, Mona Fastvold and Brock Norman Brock.

For many animal lovers, watching movies of different species is a delight, especially when it comes to dogs, horses or cats. However, there is a part of society that belong to animal protection organizations. Many of these organizations disagree with these initiatives. These organizations argue that in the filming there is animal abuse. To the point that many times they call for a boycott of this type of cinematographic productions.

The Mustang premiere

The film premiered worldwide at the Sundance Film Festival on January 31, 2019. It also premiered in the United States on March 15, 2019, by Focus Features.

This is an excellent film that leaves us with a great message that everything can be achieved if we really want to help the convicts. It also shows us how the strength of love and forgiveness can make a difference in the change of a human being

Casting of The Mustang the movie

• Matthias Schoenaerts as Roman Coleman: this has been the main protagonist of the movie The Mustang. It is about a man who accidentally kills his wife and goes to jail. In this process is his little daughter in charge of his grandmother. This has an unresolved issue so it is full of anger and hatred. The prison center makes the decision to incorporate it into some activities where the horses are. After this they include it in the Mustang Horse Training Program that is later auctioned.
• Jason Mitchell as Henry: He is the friend of Roman Coleman who gives valuable tips on how to approach the horse.
• Bruce Dern as Myles: He is responsible for the training program and horses, this is very strict but seeks that men achieve the goal of tame horses.
• Gideon Adlon as Martha: she plays the role of the daughter of the protagonist Roman Coleman, who visits him frequently at the penitentiary center and who as a child sends letters to release his father.
• Connie Britton as the Psychologist: this is in charge of monitoring the behaviors of the inmates.

Production of the movie The Mustang

For the year 2017, it was announced that Matthias Schoenaerts and Jason Mitchell would participate in the cast of the film, with Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre directing a script she wrote, along with Mona Fastvold and Brock Norman Brock.

In this sense the channels Canal + and cinemax were in charge of producing the film, along with Alain Goldman and Molly Hallam as producer and executive producer under his company Legende.

In October of 2017, Susan Sarandon, Gideon Adlon, Bruce Dern and Josh Stewart joined the cast of the film.

Without a doubt, the actors who participated in the movie The Mustang did an impeccable job. The space where it was shot, the emotional, the mixture of emotions of the protagonist and the horse. It is worth crying to see the scenes so moving.

The main message is that there are second chances when there is true repentance. It is the horse that touches the deepest fiber of Roman Coleman. From then on the change is imminent.

From then on a visible change is seen in this man who has been full of rage for so long.

” It is a touching and original work of sentimental humanism. Schoenaerts is excellent (…) You will not be able to predict the end and it is beautiful ” Owen Gleiberman: Variety

Description of The Mustang the movie

Roman Coleman is a man deprived of liberty with a quantity of 12 years in a penitentiary center. The behavior presented by this man is anger and violence, his relationship with other colleagues is zero. Even the relationship with her daughter becomes tense during visits.

Then they incorporate him into a training program for wild Mustang horses. The horse that corresponds to him to train is a mirror for the one because this one is indomitable from the beginning. He does not want to be tamed by anyone because his longing is freedom.

So then the protagonist Roman Coleman takes a step forward accepting the difficult challenge and enters as a participant in the riding program to try to rehabilitate. At first it was not easy for Roman because there were failed attempts since Roman Coleman did not have the remotest idea of how to approach the horse which brought him problems.

One day Roman hit the horse because of his helplessness and desperation to achieve what he wanted. Roman tried to get the horse’s attention and the horse paid no attention to him. Because of that Coleman was expelled from the program.

The return of Roman Coleman to the program (part 2 of The mustang the movie)

Days later a storm approaches. To move the horses to a safe place they turn to all the convicts who have worked with them, including Roman. Thanks to his behavior under pressure and what he reflected during his departure from the horses he was reinserted into the program. Thanks to his change of attitude, Toman helped to put the horses safely with great mastery.

With great zeal, Roman continues trying to improve with the reading of some equestrian magazines and with the advice given by a partner of the program, Henry. Henry teaches him how to approach the horse through reading body language. Roman keeps trying but without hitting.

At the time, Roman tired and practically giving up he sat in the center of the place where he trained with the assigned horse. It is at that moment when the horse finally approaches and touches it, a special connection between these two emerging. The pressure of Roman to approach away the horse but seeing the sadness of Roman the horse decides to comfort him and give him a chance.

A new beginning for Roman Coleman (part 3 of The mustang the movie)

From then on the training becomes more bearable. However, the day of the auction, everything went wonderfully until it corresponds to the turn of Román Coleman with the Mustang horse. Out of nowhere a helicopter appears flying over and the horse is out of control since they are conditioned with this sound as it associates it with when they were caught.

Unfortunately Román Coleman falls to the ground injured. Due to this incident they suspend the program and intend to sacrifice the horse. So Roman Coleman manages and frees the Mustang horse.

The relationship that arises between the horse and the protagonist of the story The Mustang brings as a positive effect that the behavior of both change forever. As well as that together try to understand their immediate surroundings.

After this there is a real change and a longing for freedom on the part of Roman Coleman who by that time is already a grandfather. The most important thing is that Roman already sees life in a totally different way.

Currently in several detention centers in the United States this wonderful program of horse training is carried out. So the prisoners when they achieve their freedom have a new office to perform. Besides the benefit that this program has in the behavior of these men.

The message of The Mustang the movie

The message that this wonderful movie called The Mustang leaves us is that man has the ability to change. Just as animals have a calming effect on humans, even though the horses that are there are in the wild, they manage to be tamed so that other human beings can incorporate them into their activities.

On the other hand, love and forgiveness can mark a before and after in human beings.

Artículo #14 de la serie

Gustavo Mirabal en Madrid

It is no secret to anyone that the Venezuelan has a great taste for travel and to know new cultures. As well as enjoy the benefits of the first world. This has led to Venezuelans looking for new countries. Today we will talk about the life of the Venezuelan exiles in Madrid and the luxury life they lead.

Venezuelan migration in Madrid Spain already reaches the figure of more than 100,000 residents. All this without having migrants without official papers. Among them are huge fortunes that have escaped the daily life of the country and the problems typical of Latin American countries

A growing Venezuelan community is dispersing around the world. The Venezuelan migration has arrived with a high formative degree. In some countries its presence has been felt. Throughout its history, Venezuela has been one of the countries that has received the most migrants from Latin America. In all the places where they go, the Venezuelan migration has arrived with high standards. Venezuelans seek to grow and know new cultures, and bring their own idiosyncrasy to where they go from professionals to entrepreneurs.

We can even realize that the Venezuelan has a tradition of relating to the Spanish idiosyncrasy. Since Spanish migration was important during the 60s and 70s, Venezuelans are used to it. The center of Caracas there are areas like the candelaria that are full of Spanish restaurants. Below we can see a video (in Spanish language) that shows the importance of Spanish cuisine in the Venezuelan capital.

How does the Venezuelan behave with the emigrant?

In the next video you can see a Venezuelan restaurant in Valencia Spain and how Venezuelan migrants will go where they go.

The Colombian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arab and other communities have been well received in Venezuela. These communities left their countries fleeing violent and armed conflicts, precarious economic situations or both together even and despite arriving in large numbers they were received with open arms.

The official statistics spoke of more than 720 thousand Colombians in Venezuela for 2011. Other estimates spoke of about 2 million Colombians who usually established temporary residence in Venezuela. While it is true that currently the number of Colombians is much lower, Colombians grew in Venezuela. Now it is the Venezuelan exiles looking for new horizons and experiences, some of the destinations they have wanted to know and explore.

Looking for the first world

In any country in the world, Venezuelan exiles lead a life of “luxury”. The Venezuelan has always been a gentilicio full of joy and little thrifty. The advantages of the first world with its high minimum wages allow them to abound in luxuries that others do not.

Some Venezuelan have relatives in Madrid, Bogotá, Santiago de Chile, Lima and throughout the American and European continent. Given that Spanish migration was one of the most important in Venezuela in the 1970s, some returned to Europe. Others are descendants of those Spaniards which allows them to access citizenship.

With the high level of professional training, many Venezuelans exiled in Madrid bet to contribute to the economy of the European country. It is not a migration that only seeks selfish personal growth of your life, but seeks to improve the place where they go.

It is key that the Venezuelan is looking to emigrate to countries that have new experiences, opportunities and cultures. That is why the most desirable options are Chile, Argentina and Spain. The historical links of Spanish migration and the necessary search for “first world” make the Venezuelan look for this as one of the first options.

How do you see the Venezuelan professionals in Spain?

Some years ago, already the professionals of the technological areas got a place in Spain. The same happened with the Venezuelan doctors who got a place in Spain to develop more.

In Spain, Venezuelans found people who valued their skills. Venezuelan by their side valued a pleasant climate, Latin warmth and compatibility with their language, despite linguistic nuances.

Certainly the disproportionate growth of migration has led to the consolidation of a negative public opinion. Recent waves of migration have been intense. Despite this, the majority who come in contact with Venezuelans value them widely.

In the next video you can see how in venezuela the world record of the largest paella in the world is broken. Paella is a typical Spanish food brought by Spanish migrants.

Why do Venezuelan exiles in Madrid live a life of luxury?

“Ta ‘cheap dame dos” (it’s cheap, give me two) called the Venezuelans who went to Miami to buy. The Venezuelan with the purchasing power due to oil was accustomed to spare no expense. Wherever he goes he has the habit of spending as if he were going to finish the world soon. It is a need to find the tranquility of buying what you want when you want.

On the other hand his way of spending contrasts with his ability to stretch budgets. This is how the Venezuelan always seems to spend more than he earns. The ability to manage scarce resources has been enhanced and perhaps if you hire them as administrators they can surprise you.

Thus, the Venezuelans exiled in Madrid is not that they lead a life of luxury, it is that a normal life seems short to be lived without giving them the luxuries they want. Thus, the Venezuelan enjoys all the tastes that life allows them. With the gastronomy of Madrid the Venezuelan palates exiled in Madrid look for new experiences.

And what about the rich Venezuelans in Madrid?

Another part of Venezuelans fled the crisis seeking to protect the assets they owned. They discovered that Madrid is a city with great potential. Madrid is a city ready to take advantage of the economic resources of rich Venezuelan in Madrid to further boost its economy.

They are extremely rich and have landed in Madrid fleeing boredom looking for new challenges and opportunities that put their fortunes at risk, because for them “business is a bet”. Some have opposed the Maduro regime. Others support him and his policies. But all have decided to invest in Spain and especially in Madrid.

It is estimated that there are many Venezuelans in Spain. As we can understand, not every Venezuelan exiled in Madrid are rich. The largest proportion of this community is composed of trained professionals looking for opportunities to grow. By other hand, there are the descendants of Spaniards who migrated to Venezuela and returns to their second homeland.

This is happening in countries such as Portugal and Italy where a large part of the children of emigrants who have retained their language (or recovered it in search of new experiences) return to their parents’ homeland.

Where are Venezuelans located in Spain?

The wealthy Venezuelan class prefers the neighborhoods of Salamanca, Justicia, Jerónimos, Retiro and El Viso. On the other hand, they also value Almagro, inside Chamberí and Conde Orgaz, in the Arturo Soria area. Exclusive areas with historical and commercial value whose price per square meter on average ranges from 7 thousand to 10 thousand euros.

The Venezuelan bourgeoisie in Spain, exiled on occasion and not so much at other times, has grown vertiginously in the last 3 years. They are located in the most distinguished areas of Madrid. Its companies, businesses and startups are announced on the portals of the most luxurious avenues. Together with the most luxurious boutiques in Madrid, a new Venezuelan-Venezuelan bourgeoisie stands out.

All of them bet to be part of the resurgence of the Spanish economy. Venezuelan invest mainly in real estate, banking, remittances, insurance and gastronomic businesses. They do not drive their vehicles because as they used to in Venezuela they travel with a driver. They are often seen in bars and in the most expensive restaurants. Where previously it was difficult to find an accent other than Spanish, we discovered an accent that is already made daily, the accent of Venezuelans

The international capitals of the “Venezuelan-way-of-life”

In the world there are basically two capitals of “Venezuelan-way-of-life” distributed throughout the world. Those capitals are Miami and Madrid. Why do we say that Miami and Madrid with the international capitals of “Venezuelan-way-of-life”? They are the main capitals that have received a massive exodus of Venezuelan for more than 20 years but at least in the last 10 years this trend has grown exponentially. Moreover, we could say that it is in the last 5 years with the positive reception of Venezuelan doctors and professionals that Madrid has taken this place.

It can also be noted that it is one of the favorite destinations for the rich Venezuelans. Opposing the current government or accompanying it in its socialist policies, the rich seek destinations with that Latin heat. Miami has been at the top of the international Latin meeting for years. This is due to the massive Cuban community that has made Miami a second Latin American. So it is so rare to walk around Miami or go to business and do not speak Spanish. If you are Latin American and want to travel to get to know the old continent while still speaking your language, Miami is the perfect place.

Since the tightening of US immigration policies, Venezuelan has been looking for alternatives other than Miami. Given the good reception of Venezuelan doctors and computer experts and a growing community, Madrid became that option.

In this way Madrid became one of the international capitals of “Venezuelan-way-of-life”. A dream destination for rich Venezuelans who also saw hundreds of investment opportunities left by the real estate crisis. This is how the Salamanca neighborhood, progressively became a small Caracas in the old continent. Thus Venezuelan brought his noisy style and his desire to spend.

The real estate business

Some of the Venezuelan businessmen in Madrid have invested in historic buildings at the time of the real estate crisis. When the majority only ran to take care of their capital they invested and it was one of the rich Venezuelan groups exiled in Madrid that bet on it.

After the renovation of the apartments and the passing of the strongest moment of the real estate crisis, they have multiplied their investment.

Another venezuelan businessmen on Madrid at its worst moment and they were successful because they knew it was a bet on the first world.They knew that it was a bet to the first world and that in spite of the crisis they knew that the institutionality would triumph.

Another who opted for Madrid, and not only during the housing crisis, was Gustavo Mirabal Castro. Son of Gustavo Mirabal Bustillos, businessman Gustavo Mirabal bet on several business sectors. From finance, real estate, agriculture and services Gustavo Mirabal invested in Madrid due to its beauty and another great attraction, horses. In love with the gastronomy of Madrir that I already knew about the many Spanish restaurants that Spanish migration planted in the seventies.

Venezuelan exiles in Madrid and their capital to the rescue.

The favorable business climate led to Gustavo Mirabal being one of the Venezuelan exiles in Madrid who would bet on the European capital to try to return it to its splendor thanks to the Venezuelan private capital among others.

But what ended up convincing him was the Zarzuela racecourse. This magical place convinced Gustavo Mirabal Castro that Madrid was the place to invest. Definitely a place where his passion for horses and equestrian sports and his outstanding management and business skills could be developed.

This is where an equestrian business was born that would lead Sergio Alvares Moya to win the Grand Prix of Cannes and other significant victories.

Gustavo Mirabal is not only one of those responsible for the growth of Spanish horse racing. Gustavo Mirabal with his resources and companies put a grain of sand for the recovery of Spanish splendor and especially in Madrid.

Venezuelans have dispersed to meet new cultures and have new experiences exiling themselves around the world. They came to replenish with their knowledge and their capital those places they have come enjoying the benefits of entrepreneurship.

These Venezuelans will return to Venezuela some day to re-empower it thanks to the acquired knowledge and experience. Venezuelan migrants in a professional, spiritual and entrepreneurial search are growing. Thus, Venezuelans who, exiled throughout the world, decide to return to their homeland, will make it even better.

Description of Aragorn Horse by Marvel Comics

  It looks like Pegasus, but it is not!

The famous and mythological horse Aragorn of Marvel Comics is an equine with great and beautiful wings which is mounted by Brunnhilde the Valkyrie. This noble animal with magical characteristics was first coupled by Dr. Dane Whitman. Whitman was the nephew of Professor Nathan Garrett, who adopted the disguise of the previous criminal, the Black Knight.

Whitman used his knowledge in Garrett’s genetics to vary another horse, which he called Aragorn, into a rocket colt.

After the time elapsed the new Black Knight entrusted Aragorn to the care of Brunnhilde the Valkyrie. Later it entrusted it to his descendant Samantha Parrington.

Unfortunately Aragorn was wounded in a fight with Lunatik, but soon recovered from his wound. After these events, Brunnhilde made the decision to take the winged horse on a trip.

Aragon in the world of the deceased

Another remarkable supernatural gift is the fact that he is capable of moving to the world of the deceased, something that no doubt few can do such a feat. This is not a minor detail since it coincides with the power conferred by Odin on the Valquiras according to Norse mythology. The Valkyries are responsible for guiding, and transporting the heroes killed in battle to the Valhalla (hall of the fallen), where they would be assigned to the army of the Norse god to fight with him, the day of Ragnarok.

The origins of Aragorn

The scientist known as the Black Knight II, made use of his deepest knowledge and created the horse with wings that allowed him to fly. This character led a dark life and full of actions for nothing good, since he committed various crimes. Then his horse became the saddle of the fearsome Knight while his secrets passed into the hands of his nephew, Dane Whitman.

The nobility of this man made him try to fix things and somehow remedy all his uncle’s bad deeds. So he took the wise decision to use his knowledge becoming the new Black Knight

Then after revealing the recipe to endow the horses with wings, he chose Aragorn as a mount, granting him the ability to fly.

Then this brave man was incorporated as a hero accompanied by the horse Aragorn. In this opportunity he offered his great help to the avengers in their battles. Later the winged horse took a trip to Polemacus there, challenge the local caudillo, Arkon, the charming Asgardian and the Greek god of war.

Unfortunately the body of the Black Knight was turned into stone and his spirit dragged into the past, in the 12th century while the Crusades were at their peak. It was then that Aragorn became the steed of the Valkyrie, with which it was coupled to the Protectors.

The premiere of Aragorn in Avenger Endgame

The role of Aragorn was key. On the one hand as part of the reinforcements against the Thanos forces to balance the balance and on the other hand to give time for the Avengers to get together and get the chance to win.

As we can see Aragorn is a horse with a relevant role in the history of the Valkyries and in the Marvel world. Surely we will continue to see it in the future in the Marvel world movies. We can only say that its premiere at Avenger Endgame was spectacular and it left an excellent taste in our mouths.

For no one is it a secret that the American continent was invaded by Europeans especially by the Spanish, Portuguese and English. These came in search of the promised land, that is, in search of fortune, among them precious metals such as gold. The also bring them horses like war machines. This horses became the last resource of the indians… Indians on horseback.

In their wake, the Europeans left a wake of pain and suffering in the natives of the region. However, it is in this meeting where the Indians meet the majestic animals such as horses. Therefore in this issue we will address the issue of Indians on horseback.

This same situation appeared practically throughout the American continent. So our ancestors lived very unpleasant situations under the control of Europeans, particularly Spanish.

For this reason, the liberating feat was born, which in the case of South America was led by heroes such as the Venezuelan Simón Bolívar, who maintained his ideals until the time of death. He was also accompanied by other heroes who left a mark on the freedom of Latin American countries. This also happend in North America.

Throughout this process the Indians on horseback toured different areas. At the same time, little by little they learned what was related to the horse. An element that differentiated them from the natives of the Spaniards is that they treated animals with love and respect. Taking into account that these people live in balance with nature. In addition, due to their customs, they honor mother earth.

Without a doubt our ancestors left us a legacy of respect for nature as well as to defend their rights as inhabitants of those natural spaces.

Invasion of the Spanish

America was invaded by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century, so they achieved their main objective which was to conquer this region. The truth is that this term of conquest was rather appropriation of these spaces as well as their aborigines.

All this “triumph” for the Spanish cost the lives of many natives, as well as humiliation and mistreatment. Subsequently began to give a series of fighting between natives and Europeans.

In this historical process, the Indians on horseback showed their rebelliousness and defense for what was rightfully theirs.

After the collapse of Mexico and the Tarascan command of Tzintzuntzan, the Spanish occupation reached its goal. The two most significant commanders of the Central American Mesoamerican soil were under the relentless yoke of these settlers. Then they laid their foundations to start new searches to the north. For these were greedy to get precious metals.

These confirmed the fact that there were precious metal mines. These were accompanied by indigenous people already dominated by them. Undertaking towards the north, here also the Indians went on horseback.

However, the Europeans were not entirely confident since in that place there were wild indigenous tribes that were not going to be so easily dominated. For what the Europeans named with the qualification of barbarians. To those indigenous tribes who were afraid of them because of their skills and expertise in the fights.

Other activities of the Indians on horseback

The dynamics of the inhabitants of American lands was to move from one place to another mobilizing in different areas. The Indians on horseback traveled in search of food for themselves and their families or even for the entire tribes.

Among their daily activities were the following hunting of animals with bow and arrow, fishing and shellfish collection on the coasts. Likewise, they also collected fruits and seeds.

In the course of the XVI century the transcendental Chichimeca troops that lived in this place were the zacatecos, guamares, guachichiles and pames. However, the Nahuatl term was popularized to call not only these traveling groups. Since it also included the regions settled there being the Chichimecas. Likewise these were considered by the Spaniards as barbarians

As a result of the actions of the Spaniards, the empire of Zintzuntzan collapsed. For what is stated first phase of the Conquest that then begin the invasions directed to the northern area with the expectation concentrated in the discovery of precious metals such as gold and silver.

Offensive of the Indians on horseback towards their Spanish enemies

In view of all the grotesque and offensive acts against which the Spanish invaders made the Indians, they took the decision to defend themselves and to assert their rights as inhabitants of the beautiful lands of North America.

The invasion that fortified the Spaniards in the area of Acámbaro and Chichimecas was in the minimum period. Later they advanced to Querétaro in the year 1532.

It is there where the Indians come into action to defend themselves, thus creating multiple problems. The aborigines knew their region like the palm of their hand. So they decided to attack the European barracks. There they extracted different objects such as fabrics, food, livestock and women.

As they admired the horses and some privileged Indians on horseback they also took the trophies of war

These actions were not there only. It was the beginning of a long conflict of many years.

Indians on horseback, adverse to fear

The Spaniards who came to these new lands came with the hope of establishing the bases here in order to have their own goods. This element did not possess it in his native Spain. So they undertook that long and dangerous journey across the ocean to these virgin lands as they were for that moment America as a whole.

What they might not have in mind was that these lands already had their own inhabitants and that they were the owners and masters of these areas. With their own customs and habits that although very different from that of Europeans.

They were not only looking for mines to exploit them and extract precious metals. But they also had to guarantee food support in order to stay in time.

The first phase of what was called as conquests to the American lands brought disastrous consequences with material and human losses.

Role of the horse in the conquest

The search for precious metals by the Spaniards gave them their fruit so they discovered silver mines. This resulted in the concentration of the population around the mines.

The role of the horse at this time was of great importance which represented the entry of the horses as elements of war. Likewise, as cargo and transport animals, the need arose to establish roads to meet the demands of the inhabitants of these areas.

As we can see the horses have done a very important job in most of the battles that have taken place over the centuries.

Without a doubt, it is a very versatile animal that produces the necessary benefits to, to a certain extent, meet its needs, providing support to the human being in various tasks.

One of the legacies of Indians on horseback is that in Argentina they practiced the natural dressage that is so popular today.

The legacy of the Indians on horseback

The horse represented a front of the Spaniards in relation to the natives. But this eventually became a double-edged sword. Since the aborigines established a harmonious relationship with the equines. They learned to tame and ride them. Therefore the Indians on horses began to move forward.

The horse brought by the Spaniards as a technology of war turned against them because the Indians adopted it as their own. Additionally, the Indians on horseback had better understanding with their riders perhaps because of their connection with nature. That respect for nature and horses that is currently so fashionable to get the most out of horses comes from our native accents.

It was the true owners of America who bequeathed us the best way to treat horses, with love and respect. When you see a horse being treated in a civilized way, remember that the first ones that did it were the Indians on horseback.
