Charrería – Mexico’s Ritualized Cowboy Sport

Before there was fútbol, before lucha libre made masks fly, and long before Formula 1 cars raced through Mexico City — there was **Charrería**. Born from the haciendas and ranches of colonial Mexico, it is a spectacle of **horsepower, elegance, and tradition**, known as the **country’s official national sport**. But don’t let the word “sport” fool you — Charrería is as much **ritual** as it is competition. It’s a cultural pageant where every rope swing and horse step tells a story of history, honor, and identity.
