The Charro
Understanding the charro also means understanding traditional clothing, horse tack and tools connected to ranch work.
Traditional attire
The sombrero, shirt, bow tie, trousers, belt and footwear form an outfit with regulated characteristics. Working attire and gala attire serve different contexts.
The reata
The reata is central to roping events. Handling it requires practice, precision and knowledge of each event.
Saddle and tack
The charro saddle, bit, reins and stirrups support communication and work between horse and rider. Each piece has a purpose; the rules describe its requirements and restrictions.
