Immersing yourself in Californian riding courses means entering a world of tradition, elegance and a deep connection with the horse. This style of riding, born from the ancient Buckaroo school, represents one of the most refined and harmonious forms of Western riding, where communication with the horse is based on lightness, trust and mutual respect.

​

A journey through history and technique

​

Californian riding is an art that has its roots in the traditions of the first Spanish riders to arrive in the New World. The Buckaroo developed a sophisticated and progressive riding system, based on building a deep relationship with the horse, teaching it to respond to commands with extreme sensitivity and precision. This method, still practiced today with great passion, stands out for its gradual approach, which takes the horse from a simple hackamore bit to the highest level of refinement with the spade bit and long rein.

What you will learn in our courses

 

Our courses, with a team of internationally renowned instructors, are structured to offer a complete and immersive experience, suitable for both beginners and experienced riders who want to perfect their technique.

 

✅ Fundamentals of Californian riding – You will learn the basics of this style, from the position in             the saddle to the fine communication with the reins and the weight of the body.

 

✅ Use of the hackamore (bosal) – You will discover how to use this traditional tool to develop a                   sensitive and light horse in the hand.

 

✅ Progression towards the two-rein – You will refine the transition from the hackamore to the                     Californian bit, learning the correct use of the reins.

 

✅ The bridle horse – The final stage of training: a perfectly trained horse, capable of responding to           commands with minimal contact, guided almost exclusively by the weight and intentions of the             rider.

 

✅ Work on the ground and in the saddle – You will learn to build a relationship of trust with your             horse through exercises on the ground, before transferring the skills to riding.

 

✅ Practical experience and application – You will be able to put the knowledge acquired into                       practice in real scenarios, such as working with livestock and training for specific

     western disciplines.
