  • Riding Styles of the Iberian Peninsula by Sarah Gately-Wilson
    Riding styles of the Iberian Peninsula By Sarah Gately-Wilson Today’s equestrians adopt various styles of riding as their individual preferences. To some equestrians, riding is a competitive sport; to some it is an art, to others, simply a way of life. In the middle ages, horses were the primary mode of transportation, a weapon of war, and to royalty, an art for the high school dressage. The way the horses were ridden, then and now, depended on what purpose they were being used for. In Spain, two styles of riding were known. The knights in their heavy armour rode heavy, cold-blooded warhorses. They rode with long stirrups, their legs and feet extended down and forward with their backs braced against the high cantles of their war saddles. This style of riding was known as riding a la brida. The other style of riding was on fast, agile, hot-blooded chargers that turned quickly and were used by light cavalry and hunters. These riders had short stirrups with legs bent underneath them and were balanced on the horses back with the ability to stand up or move agily on the horse. This style is known as riding a la gineta. At one time it was considered a great accomplishment of men to be able to ride in both saddles, meaning to ride both a la brida and a la gineta. It was even marked on their gravestones! As times of war subsided, the need for the horses was in agriculture, to work cattle, to thrash grain, and for royalty, a luxury item for hunts and high school dressage.
