The End of a Way of Life

In Guatemala, as in other parts of Central America, the horse has been a powerful symbol of pride and the forces of history. The original Spanish conquistadores, beginning with Cortez and ending with his lieutenant, Pedro de Alvarado, used their horses and their armor to devastate the Aztecs and the Mayas.

As part of their ensemble of armor, breastplates and swords, spurs were the most potent but subtle symbol of all. Deriving from the knightly traditions of centuries earlier, only gentlemen were allowed to wear spurs, indicating status and the prestige of being a mounted caballero.
