It is similar to dressage type moves which Lipizzaners and other dressage type horses do except from what I can tell they are supposed to just mostly stand in one small area and do it and also there are some head tosses and bucks often done. The thing is a lot of the training methods I see for these "charro" horses (apparently this discipline is referred to as charro) consists of smacking the crap out of them with a quirt to make them jump and turn and so on, as well as liberal use of painful bits and spurs. I do not think as a rule dressage trained horses are abusively trained like that. Of course that is not to say abuse doesn't exist in the dressage world, it certainly does, as it does in all animal/human activities. I have no problem with freestyle, dressage, the lipizzaners, and such as long as it is done humanely.

This video in particular just made me sick. Especially whipping it in the face like that.
