Acoso y derribo is a traditional sport in the
Doma vaquera tradition of Spain, in which cattle are brought to the ground by two riders, the
garrochista and the
amparador, using the
garrocha or lance. The horses used are often of
Hispano-Árabe stock. The corral for this competition is divided into four areas. In 2010 the
Real Federación Hípica Española decided to eliminate this competition from the official list.
