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 generic term for anyone involved in the bullfight but matador refers to the man responsible for the artistic cape work and for killing the bull.

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.

It is not a sport, it is a tradition in some spanish places. Although, many spanish people are against these traditions because are cruel. There are two kinds. First, "corrida de toros" in a circular bullring called "plaza" where a "torero" (a man) with a cape`fights´against a bull, it stops when the bull is killed by the man (rarely the bull is forgiven). Second, "encierros", it is a race where a lot of people run together with a group of bulls until they arrive to the bullring.
