Vaquejada

Knocking over the bull

The vaquejada is a sport typical to the Nordeste region of Brazil,[1] in which two cowboys ("vaqueiros") on horseback pursue a bull, seeking to pin it between the two horses and direct it to a goal (often consisting of chalk marks), where the animal is then knocked over.
