A "garrocha" is a long, sturdy pole, traditionally used in Spanish equestrian traditions for herding cattle and in bullfighting. It's now also used in working equitation and other demonstrations to teach horses and riders fine control and precision. The garrocha is typically made of wood and can be quite long, often around 10 feet.

The garrocha is a prominent feature in working equitation, particularly in the bull line obstacle where the rider picks it up from a barrel and uses it to guide the horse through various maneuvers.

Garrocha demonstrations showcase the horse and rider's ability to work together with precision and finesse, often incorporating elements of traditional horsemanship.

The garrocha can be used as a training tool to help horses become accustomed to a pole and learn to navigate around it, improving their sensitivity to aids.
