    BULLFIGHT ON HORSE (REJONEO)
     

There are very few events in life that can put the wild force of a bull, the nobility and strength ofthe horse, and the skill and execution of a man, together in such a brilliant and harmonic ensemble.

This way of bullfighting is called "Rejoneo", an it is the first way in which man fought bulls - during the reconquest

of Spain from the Arabs, in the Middle Ages, at times between offensives, the horsemen at the frontlines approached bulls in the wild and learned to move around them without being caught. This excercise was fruitful in enhancing the riding skills of the horsemen, as well as for training the horses. Later, In the XVith century, the activity evolves

into a show which would take place during festivities.



To organize a "Rejoneo" entails bringing in a professional "Rejoneador", with his truck full of horses, which is some enterprise, and prices start at 2,000 Euros.
