The statue is of the Virgin of Zapopan, I believe. |
The start of this event was a parade lap by these Charras in their beautiful dresses and well trained horses. |
The start of the event. In a measured course the horse must skid on his back hoofs with a minimum of touch of the front feet. The horses really know what to do. |
A really nice venue, and we had good seats. |
This guy was the ring leader. He kept things moving along really well. |
The Charras gave quite a show with their precision horsemanship. |
Bull riding was very exciting. |
Aparently the horns on this bull were very sharp, they were covered with some kind of leather horn condom. |
Bronc riding in Mexico is a little different. They use two hands and stay on as long as they can stand it. |
This horse won the battle. |
The men's event with skidding horses. Points are given according to the skid marks. |
Need a saddle, helmet for bull riding. They had em. |
Beautiful saddles, that is real silver. |
How about a chair for the porch of your hacienda. |
Maybe a rope, or a sign for your mailbox. |
This guy was making real Charro sombreros. They are made of wool. |
If they did not have it, you don't need it. |
Nice selection of sombreros. How much do you want to spend? |
Hacienda Vieja Tequila was quite smooth. |
After the event we stopped at Gordon Well's home. This is Maureen's daughter Jennifer with Belinda. |
