Here are some very informative pages about the art of charreria, or Mexican rodeo.

These are the events in charreadas:
cala: individual reining competition
piales en el lienzo: roping wild mares
coleaderos: tailing wild bulls
terna en el ruedo: team bull roping
jinete de novillos: bull riding
jinete de yeguas: wild mare riding
manganas a pie: roping wild mares from on foot
manganas a caballo: roping wild mares from horseback
paso de la muerte: leaping to and riding a wild mare
Young women, the Adelitas or charras form mounted drill teams of 7 or 8 called escaramuzas or the skirmish. An escaramuza performs high-speed precision patterns riding sidesaddle while demonstrating bravery, equestrian skills, teamwork, and femininity. Women are organized into over three hundred performing groups.
Manganas a pie is not allowed in @51 because wild horses can break their legs in this event.
[glow=orange,2,300]CHARREADA RULES[/glow]
You may not discriminate against horses with non-Mexican/Spanish names. For example, a horse named All That Jazz with equal to or more talent than a horse named Jarabe Tapatio should be considered an equal. Their names don't make a difference compared to their performance. If All That Jazz beats Jarabe Tapatio, the results should stay in All That Jazz's favor.
Mixed breed horses are allowed to participate.
Escaramuza is, in RL, the only charreria sport that women are allowed to participate in. I am still deciding whether to stay true to RL or be lenient about this. Right now, I am not barring women from other charreria sports because I don't know if we've got a lot of guys on here.
