Jackie Ayala and Kristy Escamilla do their hair in the bathroom of a gas station along I-35 on February 21, 2015. The girls were on their way to represent the team at Junta Estatal para Capitanas, or the State Meeting for Captains, in Temple, Texas. Each dress must be handmade with specific guidelines to maintain the cultural traditions of the sport as it has been for generations in Mexico. "I am following in my great grandfather's footsteps" Jackie Ayala said. "He was a charro in Coahuila, Mexico, so I want to continue the tradition."
