Rejoneador ((:rexoneaˈðor), pl. ''rejoneadores''; "lancer") is the name given to a bullfighter who fights the bull on horseback. The ''rejoneador'' should not be confused with the ''picador'', who is just an assistant of the matador. The ''rejoneo'' is a form of bullfighting in Portugal and in Spanish bullfighting. Classic bullfights may also exhibit a ''rejoneador'' spectacle preceding the main event but if the ''corrida'' is made up exclusively of ''rejoneadores'', it is called a ''rejoneo'' or ''corrida de rejones''. ''Corridas mixtas'' are also popular, where a ''rejoneador'' and two matadors (or a ''rejoneador'', matador and ''novillero''—an apprentice matador) perform. The point of the bullfight is to demonstrate the skill and nerve of the rider in controlling both the bull and the horse. ==Stages== A rejoneo has a scheme identical with the one of classic bullfighting. It has three stages named ''tercios'': * The rejoneador receives the bull after it enters the ring. He or she will try to provoke the bull to attack and run after the galloping horse (as in the ''suerte de capote''). Then he stabs one or two of ''rejones de castigo'' ("lances of punishment") into the bull's back. This is analogous to a picador using the ''vara'' (a long lance) in a standard corrida. A rejón de castigo is a lance that has a flag on its tip that is revealed when it contacts the bull's body. As with the ''puyazos'' (jabs) of a standard corrida, the rejones de castigo weaken the bull through blood loss to allow the bullfight to evolve to a slower stage. * Following two rejones de castigo, the rejoneador places up to six ''banderillas'' ("little flags"), harpoon-pointed colourful sticks, on the bull's back. This ''tercio'' is the parallel of the ''tercio de banderillas'' in classic bullfighting. The rejoneador may also use smaller banderillas or rosetas, which are even smaller, to show his/her ability to approach the bull. This section of the bullfight is analogous to the faena (the entire performance with the muleta - a small cape used in the last stage of the fight) of a matador. This section of the corrida is where the public will most evaluate the performance. Other displays of skill and nerve include touching the bull's head while it charges and pirouettes and other equestrian tricks. * Finally the rejoneador kills the bull with a ''rejón de muerte'' ("lance of death"). The rejón de muerte is a sword shaped into a lance. Ideally the bull dies quickly and cleanly. On some occasions the bullfighter will need a second attempt. On others the rejoneador will kill the bull on foot by the traditional way with ''muleta'' and ''estoque'', or perhaps more frequently will 'finish off' a slow-dying bull with the descabello (final thrust, or ''coup de grâce''). This is a special sword designed to sever the nerves entering the head. This is also used in an analogous way by matadores facing a slow-dying bull in standard corridas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rejoneador」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
