The dynasty rejoneador Diego Louceiro is very motivated with his participation in the bullfight scheduled for this Saturday, January 11 at the Monumental “San Marcos” in Tepeapulco, Hidalgo, where he will be accompanied by Ernesto Javier “Calita” and Juan Pablo Sanchez, two bullfighters with the most bullfights in 2024, Hidalgo, where he will be accompanied by Ernesto Javier “Calita” and Juan Pablo Sanchez, the two bullfighters who fought the most bullfights in 2024, to face a bull from Las Huerta for rejones and four bulls from San Isidro for the bullfight on foot.
Diego’s history as a rejoneador is interesting, as he was also one of the most outstanding forcados, and is currently in charge of the Centro Ecuestre Casa Louceiro, which he founded five years ago in Valle de Amazcala, near Querétaro, and where 45 students are enrolled, on a ranch where 80 horses live.
“The horse and the bull have been united throughout time and they are two wonderful beings, so for me, who is dedicated to horses, to be able to fight a bullfight or a festival is always something motivating. And although I don’t fight often, I always try to be prepared for any opportunity that comes my way, like the one on Saturday in Tepeapulco. When I have horses that are more or less ready to fight, I like to accept this kind of invitations because I enjoy them very much”, says the grandson of Don Pedro Louceiro, who was an institution in the world of rejoneo.
Diego was born in Mexico City on August 13, 1983 and debuted as a child bullfighter, before going to live in Portugal, where he continued learning the difficult craft of riding and fighting some bullfights. However, due to various circumstances, he became a forcado and began fighting bulls with the Évora group. Upon his return to Mexico, he joined the Mexican Forcados group founded by his father, Pedro Louceiro Firmiño, and after 10 years with the forcados, he returned to the horses, which he loves so much.
The Tepeapulco bullfight will begin at 4:30 p.m., and ticket sales are available at the Boletea electronic platform, as well as at the “Forrajes Agis” store, in its Tepeapulco and Ciudad Sahagún branches. For further information, please call 771 152 8844.
