Jaripeo is a form of
bull riding practiced mainly in Central and Southern
Mexico that developed in the 16th century. Originally it was a form of
bull fighting where the rider rode the bull to death, but evolved into a form where the rider simply rode the animal until it stopped bucking. Today there is a modern form in the
charreada called
Jineteo de Toro. It also requires the rider to stay on the bull as long as possible, preferably until the bull tires and stops bucking.
