Jinete

The word jinete (of Berber zenata) designates, in Castilian and the Provençal dialect of Occitan language, those who show great skill and riding especially if this relates to their work.

As a military term, jinete (also spelled ginete or genitour) means a Spanish light horseman that wore leather armor and was armed with javelins, a spear, a sword, and a shield.

They were a type of mounted troop developed in the early Middle Ages in response to the massed light cavalry of the Moors.

In Castilian, it is used adjectivally of a rider who knows how to ride a horse, especially those who are fluent or champions at equestrian practices, such as the gaucho, the huaso of the plains, the cowboy, Vaquero, or charro among others.

In its original Spanish title The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is Los Cuatro Jinetes del Apocalipsis.
