The history of the American Rodeo has its roots in Mexico. However, due to some historical events like the loss of several Northern states to the United States, this tradition was developed in two different countries. It began as a way to try and handle cattle, and it later evolved into a series of competitions that ranchers did to measure their skills. This serie portraits the participants of the Mexican Rodeo, which can go from the cowboys and cowgirls, the rodeo clowns and the animals involved. This work was made in several Rodeo events that took place in 2026 in Monterrey (Mexico).
