CHARRO

The charro is the traditional Mexican cowboy. Over centuries of perfecting their skills on ranches, Mexican cowboys have made “charrería” (or rodeo riding) a national institution. “Charreadas” are rodeos where the cowboys lasso cows, bulls and horses, wearing traditional embroidered costumes and wide-brim hats. They also ride wild horses and bulls according to rules set down after the Mexican Revolution.
