RESUMO:

Among the equestrian practices listed by the Atlas of Sport we have the vaquejada, which throughout history has been reconfiguring as a sports and leisure possibility, typical of Brazilian interiors, notably the Northeastern. We observed that for a long time this space had not been glimpsed by a woman in her "intimacy", that is, it was unusual to see a female body pull and bring down an ox by the tail, on an equal footing with men. Nowadays, this reality has changed so that the pairs of cowboys are also composed of women. Therefore, we are interested in analyzing the trajectories of women who are part of the vaquejadas, in order to understand the constitution of their participation in this practice in the state of Bahia from the 1960s until the present time. To this end, we are using as a method, Oral History, which uses the experiences, facts and events lived and reported by the subjects, as the main mechanism to know / know about a certain historical time, which will become an object of investigation in scientific field. As sources, orality, as well as consultation in newspapers of the capital and the interior of the state have been elected as information search devices. We note that one of the apparitions of women in the journalistic cowboys was constituted in 1967, as queens of cowgirl, in a perspective that refers to the importance of female beauty as a participant in the consolidation of a glamorous rite. Paradoxically, however, from what the oral source tells us, we realize that this participation contributed to the disruption of what was commonly established as a standard of beauty, equally regarding the ethnicity and social status of those who played such a role in other times and spaces. Ahead of time, it is seen that women play other roles and functions that before were delegated only to men as: cowgirls (pullers and mats), facilitators and diffusers of the process of rational horse taming and the agency of the best animals and cowboys ( as) for the competitions. In addition, they participate in the formation, management, direction and consolidation of the women's category in Bahia. What is especially noted with regard to access to this universe as cowgirls is that it occurs in some ways: as a family tradition, in which parents, siblings are fundamental for this insertion to be consolidated, as well as through influence of friends and relatives and independently, driven by passion for horses, even without the support or encouragement of their peers. The main obstacles are linked to the difficulties presented by the new configuration of the practice that establishes high costs in the acquisition / maintenance of a good horse, displacement for competitions, low reward values for women and lack of support and encouragement from women. some cowherd park owners who don't make room for the category. However, they try to ensure their participation in the practice, establishing strategies to promote visibility and better internal organization to enable the advancement and strengthening of the category in the state.
