Mexican Charreria in Jalisco Mexico

Eight-year-old Juan Franco, from the legendary Franco family of Charro champions, prepares to rope a wild mare during a practice session in the Jalisco Highlands town of Capilla de Guadalupe, Mexico. The roping event is called Manganas a Pie or Roping on Foot and involves a charro on foot roping a wild mare by its front legs to cause it to fall and roll once. The wild mare is chased around the ring by three mounted charros.
