Amazonas, members of the Rancho Grande escaramuzas team, train with their horses in Mexico City, April, 20, 2008. Escaramuzas are similar to US rodeos, where female competitors called "Amazonas" wear long skirts, and ride side saddle. Male rodeo competitors are "Charros," from which comes the word "Charreria." Charreria is Mexico's national sport. Photo/Chico Sanchez
