A horseback matador is a rejoneador. He fights bulls from expensive and specially trained horses. That is different than a picador. The picador is the torero whose job is to weaken the tossing muscle of the bull. He does not kill the bull and, therefore, is not a matador.

Torero is the name given to all those involved in the bullfight and includes:Picadores - the men on horseback that use lances to weaken the bull's tossing muscles in the neck.

Banderilleros - the torero who assists the matador in the ring and places the decorated, barbed sticks called banderillas.

Matador - the main participant who must artistically work the bull and kill it.

A rejoneador is a torero who fights the bull from horseback rather than on foot as would a matador.

What is a Mounted bull fighter called?

When the principle Bull Fighter fights from horseback he is called a "Rejoneador", and the event is called a Rejorneo.A picador is a mounted man with a lance whose job is to weaken a bull's neck muscles, and tire him somewhat before the main combat in an event called a Corrida de Toros. In this type of bullfight the bullfighter, or Torero, is on foot.Both events are considered an art form of spectacle, not a sporting event. Until the fight is over the "Art" is the bullfighter's ability to control the bull and get as close as possible. Some bull's weigh 1,100 pounds or more and all bulls are perfectly capable of disemboweling a bullfighter until they are dead.
