	2006 Colorado State Fair :: Charreada Rodeo
		Traditionally performed in a lienzo (arena), which is shaped like a keyhole, the charreada is composed of nine suertes (events).
		This year, for the first time, the Colorado State Fair is bringing seven of those events, in an attempt to produce as close to a full charreada as possible, given the size of the State Fair Arena.
		The excitement of a charreada reaches a high pitch at each event, and it’s then that the full mariachi band breaks out with loud trumpets blaring.

	Holy Hot Mole!
		On the other hand, in a Mexican charreada the excellent style and skills of the rider or roper are emphasized, and only one event is timed.
		Part of the beauty of the charreada is the costume, which both the male and the female riders wear, little changed from the ones worn in the 19th century.
		Mariachis often play throughout the charreada, and after all the events have taken place, the night is usually topped off with dancing, food and more music.

	ART OF THE CHARRERÍA: A MEXICAN TRADITION
		Charreada, as it exists in the United States today, began in the 1970s when Mexican Americans seeking ways to express pride in their heritage requested that the Federación Mexicana de Charrería assist in establishing official charreadas north of the border.
		Charreadas north of the border follow the same traditions and Federation regulations as the south-of-the-border events.
		Charrería competitions take place during festivities known as charreadas. These events take place in a lienzo or arena where charros compete in teams, showing their ability and skill to perform nine separate competitions or suertes. Competitors are judged on style as well as execution.

	Dale Hoyt Palfrey - A Companion Guide to La Charreada
		This basic guide is designed to enhance the enjoyment of the competition for those unfamiliar with Mexico's national sport by offering a brief introduction to the traditional horsemanship skills that will be displayed by the charros (horsemen).
		A proper charreada invariably begins with a brief opening ceremony.
		The charreada's final event is the heart-stopping "leap of death." For this the dare-devil charro rides his own horse bareback, galloping full speed around the ring along side an unbroken mare.

		This cruel and inhumane activity is practiced in 3 of the 9 events held in the charreada, or Mexican-style rodeo.

	PETA Media Center > Factsheets > Charreada: Bone-Breaking Cruelty
		While the threat of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine has largely curtailed the practice of horse-tripping at large charreadas, at many small “backyard” events, the practice has decreased but not stopped.(7) For horse-tripping to end, it must be classified as a felony.
		Where the Horses Come From—and Go Many of the horses used in charreadas are leased from slaughter buyers, who generally acquire them from former owners who have no idea what their fate will be.
