STEFANO AZARIO

charreada

The charreada is a discipline and sport that started from ranch activities and livestock traditions used in the haciendas of old Mexico. Its full emergence happened after the Mexican of 1910 revolution when Charros began to congregate after the land reform.

There are a 7 different equestrian skills and livestock handling events at every competition culminating with single and team events that culminate with “El Paso de la Muerte (The Pass of Death)” which involves a rider jumping from a galloping horse to another and I was unfortunately not able to photograph on this day.

Horses had been extinct in the Americas for 12000 years until Cortes brought 16 of them to Mexico around 600 years ago. The Incas were not allowed to ride them for centuries after the Spanish occupation began.
