The beginnings comes from the spanish conquistadores. The horses were first use for work, but after the Mexican revolution, the “Charreria” began to emerge as a sport.
It is sayed that to be a good Charro you have to learn how to ride a horse before you can walk.The charros live for this.
This series of photos is focused not in the typical part of this sport, but instead of that, in the behind the stage things like how they prepared the horses, their faces before and after each art and the details that make this a folklore party. They where taken on the state championship on “El Dorado” Rodeo, near San Cayetano, Nayarit.
