  • Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico
    CHARRERÍA, NATIONALISM, AND MANLY RELEVANCE IN MODERN MEXICO Angélica Castillo Reyna A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: John C. Chasteen Kathryn Burns Cynthia M. Radding Miguel La Serna Jocelyn Olcott © 2018 Angélica Castillo Reyna ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Angélica Castillo Reyna: Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico (Under the direction of John C. Chasteen) This dissertation offers two premises. First, there is a deep history of relationships between power, horsemanship, and constructions of masculinity in modern Mexico. Second, because of this history, Mexicans in various eras and situations have depended on rural equestrian costumes, identities, and traditions to influence, interpret, and navigate the world around them. Part 1 of this dissertation consists of three chapters and provides an overview of the development of Mexican equestrian customs and the ways that Mexicans in colonial, independent, and revolutionary Mexico used horsemanship to make their lives meaningful, central, and sustainable. Part II, composed of five chapters, shifts to a discussion of the emergence of the equestrian sport community of organized charrería and the way that organized charros continued the practice of transforming Mexico’s equestrian past into a form of strategic cultural capital. Post-revolutionary organized charros, cognizant of the rich equestrian history they had to draw upon, used the idea of Mexican horsemen’s historic contributions in order to claim relevance in post-revolutionary Mexico as the heirs and latest representatives of that historically-significant equestrian tradition.

  • Spanish Riding Costume & Tack Guide
    Viva Iberica Webshop Yeguada Iberica main site THE TRADITIONAL VAQUERA SADDLE Sometimes called a Vaquero saddle History The silla vaquera, or vaquera saddle is the everyday saddle used today and for past centuries by the Spanish Vaquero, probably the original cowboy, working in the fields and mountains of Spain. Vaquera saddles are also used for vaquero competition – or Doma Vaquera (translated as vaquero horse training, or dressage) - as well as when testing the fighting bulls and cows (Acoso y Derribo) and in the Ferias of Spain and of course for every day country riding. The vaquera or vaquero saddle is both comfortable for the rider and the horse, designed for many hours use every day and it has a large comfortable contact area over the horse’s back - a much greater contact area than the modern general purpose, dressage or jumping saddle. Traditionally vaquera saddles are covered in a sheepskin which is held in place by leather thongs, which may also be used for tying equipment to the saddle, or for emergency tack repairs when working out on the range. Illustrated is an everyday plain Vaquera Lisa saddle. The traditional vaquera or vaquero saddle tended to be heavy (and would be used with the relatively heavy steel ‘bucket’ stirrup) and were traditionally stuffed with rye straw and the panels filled with animal hair. Over time these could mould to the shape of the horse’s back. This design is still available today. Saddle development Utilising modern technology and development some manufacturers in Spain now produce vaquera saddles made to the traditional design and style but incorporating modern high-tech materials.
