Escaramuza charra

Escaramuza charra is the only female equestrian event in the Mexican charrería.

The escaramuza means "skirmish" and consists of a team riding horses in choreographed synchronized maneuvers to music.

[1][2][3] The women ride side-saddle and wear traditional Mexican outfit that include sombreros, dresses, and matching accessories.

"[4][1] Although charrería is Mexico's national sport, there are charro and escaramuza teams in the United States and Canada.

Typically, rodeo families pass the charro tradition on from father to son, but also have started getting women involved.
