Vaquejada--Rodeo, Brazilian Style
Yesterday we did some filming at Santana do Cariri (more pics and vids to come, stay tuned...). As we were leaving the city we came upon a group of vaqueiros (Brazilian for "cowpokes") having themselves a little rodeo.
I caught the following on tape.
The object of this game is to catch the calf by the tale while riding full speed on horseback, and flip him over. As you can see from the video, it's not as easy as it sounds.

Thanks for stopping by! My opinion is that along with skill and bravado, you have to be just a little nuts to engage in this sport.

Hi , I got here via missionaryblogs.com.
That exercise calls for a good deal of skill and bravado too.
