Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Jaripeo en Madrid





(from the Viva la Fiesta Brava Facebook page)

La cuadrilla de los hermanos Bercerril durante un jaripeo de exhibición en Madrid, España.

Nótese el uso de caballos criollos mexicanos (le ascendencia cartujan...a y marismeña en su mayoria) y el hecho de que son toros bravos los usados para las suertes propias del espectáculo, pues es que el jaripeo nace justamente dado el manejo de ganado de lidia en las viejas ganaderías mexicanas.
