Las Caballerizas Reales de Cordoba (The Royal Stables of Cordoba) A girl rider dressed in green period uniform showing her horsemanship skills with her horse performing a dressage to music in the main outdoor arena during the ‘Passion and Spirit of the Andalusian Horse’ Equestrian Show in the historic city of Cordoba in Andalusia, southern Spain. The ‘Traje 20 aniversario’ was worn to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Spanish King Charles V, and his son Philip 11 at the time the royal stables of Cordoba were first built. The Royal Stables were built in 1572, the birthplace of the purebred Andalusian horse founded by Spanish King Felipe 11 who had a deep passion for the breed. In 1929, the stables were listed a National Historical Monument, and became part of the National Heritage. Several nights a week, the famous equestrian show, with its riders and horses perform the horsemanship skills with dressage, musical dances, horse leaps, a dance with a traditional flamenco dancer in the open paddock and the skilful use of a ‘garrocha’, a three metre long wooden pole. It was originated for rounding up cattle herds on Spanish farms since the 17th century.
