  Santiago And The Central Valley Chile Tourism: Rodeos
You'll recognize a huaso by his wide-brimmed hat, a poncho that is either colorful and short-waisted or long and earth-toned, and metal spurs the size of a pinwheel.
The huaso struts his stuff in one of the occasional rodeos that are popular in the Central Valley.
Here huasos begin the match by demonstrating their agility atop their mounts, followed by the main event in which a huaso attempts to pin a young bull against a wall while on horseback.

Although the huaso fads have led to a variation in the width of the brim from 7 cm (2.75 in.) to 15 cm (5.9in.), by and large the huaso hat has more closely resembled the wider brim of the Amish hat than the Cordoban style.
Practically speaking, it carries on the distinctiveness the huaso always had with the use of a poncho, but established a new style that was short enough to be out of the way for the equitational demands of the sport of “running cattle”.
Once the huaso is off his horse and relaxing in the festive environment away from the competition, the chamanto is folded neatly and hung over the left shoulder.
