On this first day of Hispanic Heritage Month, ABC13's Mayra Moreno is taking you inside a lienzo charro, a professional sporting arena that resembles that of the American rodeo and is right in the community of Katy.
It's called the national sport of Mexico. Charros perform a series of equestrian activities that mirror what we know here in America as the Rodeo."I am the second generation of charros of my family," Jimenez-Gonzalez said. "My dad started doing it since he was born. He worked at the ranches in Mexico, but never really practiced it as a sport until he moved to California in about 1980s. He inherited the sport to me and now I inherit to my son.
The sport has come a long way over the years. The Mexican Charrería Federation organizes regional and national competitions with over 900 clubs throughout the nation including right here in Katy. "Pass of Dead is where are you are riding your horse bareback, and you have to jump at full speed to another horse a wild horse," Jimenez-Gonzalez said. "It's pretty exciting."
