In this month's Tip for the Ride, Alice discusses and demonstrates some basic movements and hand positions for utilizing the Doma Vaquera bull-figthing pole called the garrocha. It is amazing what a simple tool such as this 13ft. long pole can accomplish in helping both horse and human to develop confidence, with rhythm, timing, balance, focus and ultimately feel. Whether you are looking to ride the perfect circle, help your horse to become braver, or seeking a tool to help you easily understand leg-yield and half-pass positioning...the garrocha is a great horsemanship tool.

- Alice Trindle
- I was born and raised on ranches in eastern Oregon, with a great supportive family of five brothers and wonderful parents. Horses, thankfully, have always been a part of my life, and now I am realizing how much they are shaping who I am becoming! The past 20 or so years I have pursued the 'art' of horsemanship, in studying, listening, and observing master teachers of old and current, but most importantly trying to be 'with' horses. They are our best teachers if we are only willing to listen and apply.
