In this March 1, 2015 photo, a wild horse escapes a charro's lasso during the heeling event, in which a charro must catch the horse's back legs with his rope, at a charreada in Mexico City. National Charros Association President Manuel Basurto Rojas said the animals used for the events are treated and fed well “so that they can withstand”. While the Mexican government has recently enacted legislation to ban the use of animals in circuses, similar pressure has not been put on charreria. “Nothing has happened because we have a rule book on how to treat the animals”, said Basurto.
