TAPADERO...

The Vaqueros journey began 300 years ago. His secrets made him one of the world’s greatest horsemen. He is still here.

California ’s vaqueros are considered some of the finest horseman in the world. Mild weather and isolation gave the vaqueros plenty of time to train their horses. The skills they developed were handed down from generation to generation.
Tapadero gives an overview of this history, goes into the fine details of the vaquero way (the use of the hackamore, the spade bit and reata roping) and provides the viewer a colorful look at the vaquero — his dress, his gear, and the fine artisans who produce it. The viewer also gets a taste of the ranch life and the awe-inspiring California scenery.
Tapadero DVD is 82 minutes.

A Few Highlights:

The Bridle Horse, Bruce Sandifer
Santa Barbara horse trainer, Bruce Sandifer, demonstrates the use of the hackamore — the first building block in the painstaking process of making a bridle horse. He then goes on to demonstrate the two rein stage, and then the ultimate achievement, straight up in the bridle.

Steve Dorrance
Bill and Tom Dorrance fostered the idea of “seeing the world through the horse’s eyes.” Though Tom and Bill have passed on, Bill's son Steve still lives on the family ranch on Toro Mountain , high above Carmel Valley . Steve reminisces about his Dad and all the insights he learned about building a relationship with your horse.

Justin Fields, Champion Figure 8
Justin Fields is an expert in the art of roping with the rawhide reata. The epitome of this is throwing the figure 8 loop. In this segment, we see Justin winning the figure 8 competition in San Benito County ’s annual Bolado Park rodeo.
