PRACTICAL CLASSICAL: The roots of all good Western horsemanship and most dressage originated with the Spanish riding academies from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. These skills and principles were brought over to the Americas at the end of the Renaissance period, where they developed into what we now know as the modern "cowboy," and the Spanish vaquero.
