Charreria, or Mexican rodeo is the country’s official sport. "The future of the charreria is to educate the entire population so that everyone knows what our roots are." said National Charros Association President Manuel Basurto Rojas. "With horses, the [Spanish] conquest was done, independence was won, the revolution was made. It's part of Mexican identity."
