Charro is a term referring to a traditional horseman from Mexico, originating in the central-western regions primarily in the states of Jalisco,Zacatecas, Durango, Chihuahua, Aguascalientes, and Sinaloa. The Mexican terms vaquero and ranchero (cowboy and rancher) are similar to the charro but different in culture, etiquette, mannerism, clothing, tradition and social status.
The traditional Mexican charro is known for colorful clothing and participating in coleadero y charreada, a specific type of Mexican rodeo. The charreada is the national sport in Mexico, and is regulated by the Federación Mexicana de Charrería.
