Origins

In what is now Venezuela , between 1529 and 1530 , the Welser brought numerous horses , mules , donkeys , cattle and small livestock , including pigs and sheep. From Santa Ana de Coro , livestock was moved to the Tocuyo and Barquisimeto , where weather conditions , natural pastures and the existence of water favored the development of their young. In 1530 , in advanced from the Tocuyo , the conquistador Cristobal de Mendoza Rodriguez founded the first ranch in the central plains , specifically the Uberito site , in the vicinity of the current City Jail, Guárico today . From there it spread to livestock and Pampas Araucanas Apure , through incessant animal trappings conducted in long, fateful days llevasen them via plain or plateau Andes to Santa Fe.Gradually the number of cattle was adding to , to the point that the historian José de Oviedo y Baños 1547 that existed outside of the Tocuyo around 4000 cows, 2000 horses, and 12,000 sheep. With the passage of time, cattle ranching became a growing economic activity due not only to the increase of the herds , but to the many tasks that were developed from the leather industry , which for 1620 exported more than 9300 pieces Spain . Similarly , were derived from cattle ranching other products, such as milk , cheese , cream , and salt meat , which helped power early settlers . The pig farming , goat and poultry rearing , however had a decrease in their development during the colonial period , seventeenth and eighteenth centuries , due to their low utilization , since only served to add alimentico families .This development comes Coleadera culture , or rather The bull tailing , since the tasks required field constants have permanent control over the flock, by Cabresteros , Overseers and Pastors , a new race of men , mainly mestizos , of the noble mixture of Indian, Black and Spanish , which began to be called , " Llaneros " .

Era this a form of bet and entertainment practiced by the inhabitants of those savannahs , which remained intact during centuries XVII and XVIII , in the celebrations and religious festivals ; that next to Joropo , and the Terneras , marked the idiosyncrasies of the Venezuela and Colombia rural in the period of the colony.

With the Independence period , and resulting Wars Insurgentes , he Coleus de Toros , not only was used for the recreation of the soldiery in leisure , but also for training in Horse Fight as the thrusts and strategies that were used against the Spanish army in the battlefield , turned out to be quite similar to the maneuvers undertaken to master the rough herds of cattle.
