According to the National Geographic series based on Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel", jineta is a style of horse riding from Spain that emphasizes control and maneuverability. The rider uses "bent knees to grip the side of the horse and only one hand on the reigns." It contrasted from the formal style of medieval knights. By the 16th century the jineta way of riding had become the dominant style of the Spanish cavalry. The conquistadores would have ridden their horses using this style.
