We are a Sports Tourism agency, sports club, pro-shop and Mexican representative of Horseback archery, affiliated with the Mexican Association, the International Horseback Archery Alliance and the World Horseback Archery Federation.
We are promoters of the Mexican culture and tradition through sports.
Horseback Archery Mexico combines originally European elements (mainly Spanish, Portuguese and Italian) such as the horse, the suits, hats, etc., plus the bow and arrows that represent the Mesoamerican indigenous legacy, to create that fusion to which we current Mexican Mestizos belong.
In Mexico we have a great heritage of elements that are not only European or indigenous but the result of this unique mixture in the world:
Mestizos race and Culture.
About us
Our mission
To be the pioneers on bringing this sport to Mexico, its promotion and practice, as well as designing our own style and technique incorporating the historical costume of Mexican warriors (chinacos), (and traditional Mexican costumes for women riders, escaramuzas), in our sports practice as international representatives of our culture.
Our company is aimed at people who like to practice equestrian sports, people who like Mexican culture, people who would like to practice a new and little-known sport in Mexico, or even a different and more exciting style of Archery, than the traditional static/precision one.

May our club and specialized store be recognized pioneers in the practice and dissemination of the sport of Horseback Archery in Mexico, as well as in the development of Mexican competitors in this specialty, representing our country, taking our culture, our heritage and our historical costumes internationally.
Our method is focused on teaching Horseback Archery involving studies carried out on the biomechanics of shooting and horsemanship, the philosophy of archery as a martial art, and the sports methodology for optimal training and psychology applied to competitive sports.
We have a global vision and knowledge about the practice of Horseback Archery through history and its practice as a modern sport in different schools around the world.

It is knowing that we are part of a heritage, a homeland, a race, we know where we come from and where we are going … That this race of men on horseback does not end or that I finish first and I don't have to cry for it." - Roberto González
