I have followed this gentleman's career with admiration for a number of years. I just found this video on you tube, which is probably one of the finest examples of man and horse working together as a team that I have ever seen. What a remarkable athlete this Palomino is.

Here are some more of Pablos horses. The bay is nice, but nothing like the golden horse.

What an amazing feat of horsemanship and horse intelligence. His collection was intact through the entire time, his movement is unbelievable, truly a magnificent animal. enjoyed it immensely.
Dianne,
I too noted the collection. And the head fake to the right, shoulder fake to the left was something I would not have believed, unless I had seen it.

Wade, this gentleman in top form. Great technique and grand style. His mounts have been schooled out to very high degree! Something else impressive about these fights, the bulls horns are not shaved or padded as they are in Portugesse rejoneo fights. Great finds.
Joey,
I have followed this gentleman's career and horse training/breeding exploits for a number of years, and his horse's don't appear to be wired or frazzled. When you see some of the stuff that he does, you want to slap some of riders doing the lame crap they do in the Circus ring. Google in Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza and it has a translated version of his fan/web site.
