Escaramuza Charra is a Mexican sport consisting of ladies in big beautiful dresses riding horses. There is a lot more to it than a group of women on horseback though.

These women have trained their horses to dance to the rhythms of traditional Mexican music. There are regulations that need to be followed when dressing in an Escaramuza outfit, and all the women on the team need to be dressed exactly alike.
