Spanish Vaquera Saddle — Mixta Rejoneo Model
Our Spanish Vaquera Saddle is the highest-grade Doma Vaquera saddle we offer — a mixta rejoneo model built for riders who demand both authentic Spanish craftsmanship and serious working performance. Every Spanish Vaquera Saddle in this line is handmade in Spain by Marjoman, one of the most respected saddlers in traditional Iberian equestrian work.
Materials and Construction
This Spanish Vaquera Saddle is built with genuine Spanish leather, chosen for its durability and classic finish, paired with a natural sheepskin top pad for extra comfort during long rides. The tree is lightweight and reinforced with Kevlar, giving the saddle exceptional strength without adding unnecessary weight — an important feature for horses working long hours in the ring or the field. The panels are canvas-lined with natural wool inside, which helps the saddle mold to your horse’s back over time while providing consistent, even weight distribution.
What’s Included
Every Spanish Vaquera Saddle ships complete and ready to use, including:
– Girth
– Crupper
– Stirrups
– Stirrup leathers
You’ll also have the option to choose between English or Spanish-style vaquero stirrups, so you can match the saddle to your riding discipline and personal preference.
What Is a Vaquera Saddle?
A vaquera saddle is a traditional Spanish stock saddle developed for Doma Vaquera, a discipline rooted in the working equitation practiced by Spanish cattle herders. Unlike a standard English or Western saddle, a vaquera saddle features a distinctive high pommel and cantle, deep seat, and structure designed to give the rider security and control during quick, athletic movements — exactly what’s needed when working cattle or riding rejoneo style. Our mixta model blends traditional vaquera design elements with rejoneo functionality, making it a versatile choice for riders who move between disciplines.
Fit and Sizing
Because every horse’s back is different, we recommend having your saddle fitted by a professional saddler or an experienced trainer familiar with Spanish saddle design. A properly fitted Spanish Vaquera Saddle should sit level, clear the withers, and distribute the rider’s weight evenly along the horse’s back without pressure points. If you’re unsure of your horse’s measurements or need guidance on which tree width is right for your build, reach out to our team before ordering — we’re happy to help you get the right fit the first time.
Care Instructions
Genuine Spanish leather rewards proper care with decades of use. To keep your Spanish Vaquera Saddle in top condition:
– Wipe down after each ride to remove sweat, dirt, and dust
– Condition the leather regularly with a quality leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking
– Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
– Check stitching and stirrup leathers periodically for wear
With consistent care, this saddle is built to last for many years of regular use.
