Jaripeo
Encyclopedia
Jaripeo is a form of bull riding
practiced in Mexico
that developed in the 16th century. Originally it was a form of bull fighting where the rider rode the bull to death, but evolved into a form where the rider simply rode the animal until it stopped bucking. Today there is a modern form in the charreada
called Jineteo de Toro. It also requires the rider to stay on the bull as long as possible, preferably until the bull tires and stops bucking. This differs from the sport of bull riding
seen in the United States, Canada and other nations, where riders are scored on the quality of their ride for a limited time period, usually eight seconds.
