An escaramuza salutes as she rides her horse before competing in an Escaramuza in the Lienzo Charros el Penon, Mexico City, Sunday, January 19, 2013. 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.
