Bullfights Back The Art of the Bullfight.
Every fight is divided into three parts, called tercios.
The bull is released and the torero's helpers go into the ring to work the bull. This lets the bullfighter see how it carries itself how it charges and hooks before he himself enters to make several passes with a large pink cape. At this point two picadors ride in on well padded, blindfolded horses and plunge their steel tipped lances into the massive shoulders of the bull to weaken it and make it angry. Now the torero faces the bull alone and demonstrates his skill. He passes ever closer and closer to the horns of the bull.
