Jinete
In Spanish, ''jinete'' ((:xiˈnete)) means "horseman", and in some cases the horse, the rider or both. Originally, it meant a type of light cavalryman, proficient at skirmishing and rapid maneuver.
==Origins==
The word Jinete (of Berber ''zenata'') designates, in Castilian, Catalan, Basque, Galician and the Provençal dialect of Occitan language, those who show great skill and riding especially if this relates to their work. In Portuguese, it is spelled ''ginete''.
The Zenata were a confederation of Berber tribes during the Middle Ages, that were a rival of the Senhaja. They arose ethnically in Tunisia and eastern Algeria, prior to the invasion of the Arabs. The invasion would have forced them, among other things, to adopt the use of camels with great dexterity as part of their tactics. Their skills were enhanced when they were able to mount a horse, especially the kind of agile horse called a light Arabian, the ancestor of the medieval European jennet. This allowed them to prevail in North Africa and this type of fighting was introduced into Spain when it was conquered by the Moors. These light horse tactics were then adopted by the Spanish during the Reconquista of the Iberian peninsula.
