In early Philippine history, the Tagalog Bayan ("country" or "city-state") of Maynila (Filipino: Bayan ng Maynila; Baybayin: ᜊᜌᜈᜋᜈᜒᜎ) was a major Tagalog city-state on the southern part of the Pasig River delta, where the district of Intramuros currently stands.
Various aspects of the Spanish equestrian tradition can be traced back to Islamic rule in Spain, including Moorish elements such as the use of Oriental-type horses, the la jineta riding style characterized by a shorter stirrup, solid-treed saddle and use of spurs, the heavy noseband or hackamore, (Arabic šakīma, Spanish jaquima) and other horse-related equipment and techniques.
