"I'm the fifth generation in my family from my great-great-grandfather who started it," Maldonado said.
Escaramuza derives from charerria, the equine national sport of Mexico, which had been men-only dating all the way back to the 1600's. But in the 1950's, it expanded to women, who ride side-saddle in competing their tightly choreographed routines that are not only difficult, but can be dangerous, too.The goal is to perform as perfect a routine as possible.area, including one for girls as young as four years old.
"You can't just wear any color. You can't wear pink. You can't wear yellow. You have to have different neutral tones," Maldonado said. "Our riendas, our cinchos, and our serape here in back all have to consist of the same pattern and same design, not just between my horse alone, but between all eight horses as well."
