Ed Connell lived during the period of the California vaquero. He rode with and learned from some of the best, and he became a master at their way of training horses. The two books he wrote on this subject, Hackamore Reinsman, and Reinsman of the West, are step-by-step instructions on vaquero-style horsemanship. Every horseman's library should include these books.
