A portrait celebrating the strength, grace, and evolving legacy of Mexican women in the equestrian tradition. Inspired by escaramuza charra, a discipline that emerged within Mexican charrería and gained formal recognition in 1953, the work honors the women who carved out their place in a tradition historically dominated by men. Through the image of women and horses, I explore the relationship between cultural heritage, identity, and the generations who carry tradition forward. The horizon becomes a symbol of possibility—a tribute to the women who honor their roots while defining the future of Mexican tradition.
