The charreada is the original rodeo developed in Mexico based on the working practies of charros or working hands. The modern events were developed after the Mexican Revolution when charro traditions were slowly disappearing. A charreada consists of nine events for men and one for women. Jalisco is the home of the Charreada
A friend got some free tickets for last Sunday, the usual charreada day starting around noon. This was a smaller competition compared to the large arenas in large towns but these guys may well compete elsewhere. Tlajomulco de Zuniga is southeast of Guadalajara in a valley north of Lake Chapala.
