The final round of the bullfight I saw featured a matador on horseback.
This is "Torear a Caballo", or in English, "Total
Insanity."
I found this fight totally mad and beyond my comprehension. At a full trot, the bullfighter kept the bull's horns just a foot or so away from the horse's hind flank. He used only his hat, the horse's speed and slightly better maneuverability. Needless to say, the horse was motivated, and more than a little bit bug-eyed. Utterly beyond crazy.
A few more bullfighting pictures, if you haven't had enought already. Bleah. |
