With origins rooted in the sixteenth-century Spanish conquistadores, the “Charreada” in this Old Mexico series captures the essence of tradition and history. It is celebrated in this series in a minimalistic manner to highlight the key elements that make up the beauty of this cultural heritage. Charreada has influenced the American cowboy by introducing various roping techniques and horsemanship skills that originated from the vaquero tradition. These practices were adopted by American cowboys as they merged cultures during cattle drives in the American West.
