Mexican Rodeo




The Rodeo is a little different than the CPRA in that it is done with a team of five against two other teams. The teams have to present the horses for inspection and to demonstrate that they and the horse are skilled enough to procede. All the baqueros are skilled in roping. At one point the baquero had a big lassoo circling around himself then he turned it 90 degrees and jumped through it twice and then got to throw the lassoo out to rope a stampeding horse. It was amazing. It was quite dark so I don't have many photos, but I do have VDO that I will try and post in the future.
