The 2007 Vaquero Show presented by the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Society was held this year on November 9 - 11. The event hosts the best artisans and collectors of Western tack, memorabilia, art and apparel to celebrate the heritage and tradition of the California Vaquero and the beautiful Santa Ynez valley as well as support the historical society and carriage museum.

Friday night was the Vaquero Show Preview Party and Gala Banquet. The Vaquero Show organizing committee nominated Vaquero Artist Jack Swanson, Vaquero Craftsman Art Hugenberger and Sheila Varian to be this years Honored Vaquera, to recognize her outstanding career as a horse woman, Arabian breeder and long-time supporter of the historical society.

The Vaquero Show had 350 people at the gala dinner and many more over the weekend. The event was bustling with activity with guests and vendors from all over the U.S..

Sheila offered a 1 _ hour demonstration in the lovely courtyard of the Santa Ynez Historical Society Museum. Her demonstration on training through the Hackamore to the Two Rein to the Spade bit with Murietta V and Jubilation was well received. The participants loved the old traditional Vaquero gear and its no wonder with the rich history the Santa Ynez Valley enjoys as many of the local ranches originated from Mexican land grants.

A wonderful time was had by all. Please plan on attending next year. For more information please visit

The legendary California Hackamore & Stock Horse

Famous horse trainer Bobby Ingersoll has produced a fascinating book about the hisotry of the California Stock Horse and the Hackamore style of horse training. The centuries-old Spanish tradition is rapidly becoming a lost art. Ingersoll's depth of experience and knowledge, along with many detailed illustrations by horseman Jim Paul and photographs by David R. Stoecklein, result in a volume that will delight and educate readers. The book is complete with practical horse training tips, intricate drawings and diagrams, and many photographs of significant riders and their Hackamore horses.

Varian fans will be excited to see Ronteza included in the book as one of the 'Great Horses To Remember' for her win as the Stock Horse Champion and in the Stock Horse Stake at the Grand National at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1961.
