The Art of Charro Horsemanship

​Charro performances are a tradition that dates back to 17th century Spain and has influenced many cultures, including American cowboys. This episode features the show’s most celebrated performer, Jerry Diaz, who discusses what’s expected of charro horses and how he helps mold them into incredibly respectful and responsive athletes.
