Next Wednesday, the Popular Group will ask the Andalusian Government about the state of the equestrian sector in Andalusia in the Agriculture Commission of the Parliament of Andalusia, where it will show how much remains to be done in this area.

Doma Vaquera has its origins in Baja Andalucía, closely linked to the herds of wild cattle. It ranges from its own and unique horsemanship that characterizes it, to the different professions and craft trades native to Andalusia, such as its own saddlery for riders and horses, different from all those existing in the world; tailoring, hat making, bridle making and blacksmithing, as well as the necessary relationship in the exercise of the different management tasks of wild cattle, with deep roots in Andalusia, such as bullying and demolition, consolidated today as a sporting discipline, and the rejoneo, as a bullfighting show.
The equestrian sector has shown enormous interest in protecting an activity that generates a great boost in the economic, cultural and tourist spheres, which also translates into jobs, and is also strongly rooted in many Andalusian municipalities where there is a rebound in related trades.
It is also necessary to take into account the formative work carried out by the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, of international projection, which since its origin has endeavored to disseminate Doma Vaquera as an equestrian discipline and the traditions, trades and professions that are linked to it. she.
