Gustavo Mirabal Castro’s academic education, in…

The dancing horses are those that offer a show of coordination, elegance and confidence.

In fairs or competitions these stand out for their talent and interaction with the rider.

In this article we will tell you about the horses that dance.

Dancing horses

At least once in a lifetime, people should see a spectacle like that.

The respect, the trust between the tamer and the rider are incredible.

To teach a horse to dance, the first thing to do is find out what the “piaffe” is.

Well, the “piaffe” is a movement similar to the trot of a horse that holds a point.

Based on years of training, the horse gets to lower his hips, change the weight on his hindquarters and raise his right part following the music, in a natural way. Thus, they can participate in the best “piaffe” competitions in the world.

Teaching to dance

Your horse can also learn to dance. Pay attention to these tricks.

The first thing we will do is take him for a walk. A short walk It’s not about tiring him, but about relaxing him a little. It is known that working with a calm animal is much easier than with a nervous one. The relaxed one will pay attention to us; the nervous one will prefer not to do it.

Then take it to a trot and pull it to get up. Move your shoulders and hips and ask him to put his head up and down. Do it several times, letting it rest a few seconds between exercise and exercise.

Place a halter on the horse and attach it with a rope.

As you are beginning, it will serve a simple halter and a lead; Later you can use a bridle and a chair to connect one side of the rein to the right side of the horse.

To make it easier, you can use both side reins that connect from the fillet ring to the circumference of the same side about 23cms, below the back of the animal.

Tie your tail up with an elastic band so it does not bother you.

Then, stop the horse so that the wall or fence is on your right. Put it on its left side.

With the riding tack, you have to reach your hind legs. You will touch the left hind leg until it rises and then offer it a prize. Repeat this with the right rear leg.

Near the goal

Next, you will put the bridle or saddle, and the side reins.

Ask him to raise left, right, left, and the rewards. The answer must be quick, but the same, if we see that it costs, we will go back and go more slowly.

It is not about getting the horse to be perfect: perfection does not exist. It is about teaching him something trying to have fun, and he will not do it if we ask him more than he is capable of doing at that moment.

The last thing you will do is touch your front legs. If he is nervous, let him lower his head or let him down; so it will calm down.

On the contrary, if you see it animated, you raise it so that it feels proud. If he behaves well and, above all, if he takes a step that looks like a dance, you give him a deserved prize and let him rest.

The dancing horses are beautiful, they fill us with pride and emotion.

However, you should remember that training sessions should not take more than 10 minutes to prevent the horse from feeling frustrated.

Patience is the key to all this. If you despair, you will not achieve anything.

The dancing horses in Spain

We can see the dancing horses in Spain, yes, especially in the region of Andalusia.

In this area you can see festivals and fairs such as the Horse Festival that is celebrated in Jerez, or Ses Salines (Mallorca) for the festivities of Sant Bartomeu (end of August).

To the sound of Spanish music and costumes of the eighteenth century, generally, the dancing horses and their riders star in an “equestrian ballet” in which they use the technique of dressage or cowgirl, hooks, even jobs in hand and carousel.

The dark side of the dancing horses

Some dance-horse trainers use outdated methods to make horses dance. Using brutality and through fear they hit the horse to “learn” what to do without having the patience and affection towards them. We must be vigilant to denounce this type of attitude and avoid events that make use of this kind of brutality against horses.

The dancing horses are a beautiful art form where the rider and the horse show how wonderful human-animal cooperation can be

The relationship of the human being with equines from different perspectives allows our connection.
Links of affective order, perspectives with therapeutic aims and above all approaches to achieve the mobilization of the human being, which have been applied in a historical way. In order to achieve the link between the horse and humans, the process known as equestrian dressage is carried out.

However, making this interaction happen implies a complex and patient work. This prepares the horse for specific tasks that benefit man.

To this end, there are people with great capacity, knowledge and mostly with love for horses that specialize in equestrian dressage. These specialists are called horse tamers or horse trainers. The term “horse tamer” is used specially in Clasical Dressage.

The equestrian taming is understood as a set of activities that the tamer develops to condition the horse. This allows that in its nature it passes from being a wild animal to a specimen it can mount a human.

Accordingly, once the animal is comfortable with the rider, he begins a greater training. Advanced training prepares the equine in specific disciplines.

Necessary conditions for dressage:

One of the indispensable aspects in these training activities is that the tamer gains the confidence of the animal. In this way the horse will not consider it a danger and will allow the link.

If not, it is likely that the animal can be easily altered and generate greater consequences.

Another aspect to consider, are the indispensable cares like the feeding and the medical controls. It is also essential that the place where the animal lives be in hygienic conditions. In the same way it is very healthy that the horse shares with other animals since this will provide greater security.

Types of Dressage:

Now there are different methods to get a copy enjoy passivity, when being mounted by a human being. Here are some types of dressage:

Traditional dressage (“buckaroo” or vaquero-style cowboy tradition / “gaucha”):

Traditional or “gaucha” dressage , which has been used throughout history. It is characterized by the following procedure:

1- The animal is tied, its eyes are covered, it is placed all the clothing (reins, bridles, stirrups, and saddle).

2- Next, the tamer rides the equine using shoes with spurs; later he removes the bandage.

3- Finally, the tamer whips the equine repeatedly and makes use of the strength of his legs. The horse is disturbed with the intention that the animal is exhausted quickly, and begin to obey.

After the representation of this scenario, it is possible to appreciate that it is a very violent and risky activity for both the tamer and the horse, which can trigger serious consequences that affect even the physical conditions of both.

Natural dressage / Natural horsemanship:

Secondly, in the equestrian dressage one has the natural dressage, or also called rational or Indian. This method differs from the previous since it looks for to understand more to the horse.

This understanding makes the tamer establish links gradually in the foal, through expressions of love, brushing teeth, clean their helmets, among others.

Basically, it is sought that the tamer from the care interact with the animal and earn their trust. However, it requires activities such as:

• The animal is brought to a circular pen, where it will share a few hours with the trainer; Then the horse must be desensitized, touching it in the whole body.
• In the case of being used for equinotherapy it is necessary that little by little he knows the objects and the horse realizes from this process that they do not represent any danger for him, therefore the horse must smell them and feel the corresponding textures.
• Also, after the previous situation, it is placed a noose around his neck, that is, he is harnessed.
• There it is pertinent, that the tamer begins to make displacements, and little it teaches to him different voices of control so that it makes march and gallops.
• Finally, the two actions of this type of dressage consist of the tamer mounting the animal without a mount once it is more coordinated. To then incorporate the chair.

Finally, first of all we must ensure the integrity of the horse as an animal that deserves to be treated with respect. Perhaps the methods require a little more patience and time but they will maintain the links that are born from the equestrian taming.
