Horses were introducted to this part of the world mainly by the Spaniards. The first ones came with the Conquerors and after that, and thanks to these great plains, the horse became the best friend to the man in the new world.
Through this mixture of civilizations the Argentine horses -named criollos- became the best transportation for the new Argentine thanks to its tireless endurance.
In the first quarter of the past century Argentine cattle barons purchased from England and France the best thoroughbred horses of that moment, champions from England like Diamond Jubelee and Cyllene among many others that placed Argentina as an important thoroughbred horse breeder country.
Many Argentine bred horses won important races around the globe, about which we´ll later inform in this blog .
Criollos, plus the best English Thoroughbred, became an explosive coctail to create the Argentine polo horses, but a patient and passionate love of Argentine horsemen for these horses gave the secret element for this worldly known success.
Darwin, Tesio and other talented connoisseurs came to this country and saw the vast Pampas and their people. Be a part of this incredible journey for horse lovers.

Coming soon

This blog will place you in the Argentine Pampas, one of the most extensive plains in the world where these horses are raised in the most natural way.

Argentina is a horse country, you will see in this page how these horses are bred for these sports.

Adolfo Cambiaso's with a new wonder horse

This Sunday La Dolfina Peugeuot won its match against El Paraiso, for 21 to 8, with 17 goals done by the best polo player in the World, Mr. Adolfo Cambiaso (s) .

"Actitude" was the common word spoken by the La Dolfina's players to define why they won the match played at the Palermos's in the Polo Field number 2.

As usual in this blog, when surprising or outstanding horses appear, Cambiaso present a new wonder horse to follow on the next matchs to be played by La Dolfina Peugeot, Leyend. In words of Cambiaso, she is a is a "machine" (outstanding quality in argentino), and he bought her from the great mexican player Carlos Gracida (Thank you Carlos again!).

If you are in Palermo dont miss her and Bruma, they are both greys, and you will know when they are in the field beacuase you enjoy their perfection.

As a fan of great horses, I truely enjoy them like an art exhibition in motion. I will be back filming them in action for the pleasure of all of the blog followers.
