Traditional sport of great significance for Venezuelans, especially those who live in the llanero states (Aragua, Guárico, Cojedes, Carabobo), it is said that its beginnings go back to the colonial era, with José Antonio Paez better known as the catire when the llanero when seeing that his bull escaped to him it chased it to horse and it knocked it when pulling it of the tail and thus to stop it. They also practice it in Colombia, Mexico and Brazil. There are many ways to collect, but the highest score is how much the bull turns on its own back, it is called effective. On the other hand it is also considered a sport where the animal is mistreated.
The women began in coleo in 1980, leaving behind what they say to be the weaker sex, now practiced by children (from 8 years old), young people and adults where the amateur enters.
