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.

About the List of Horses of the 116 Argentine Polo Open


One thing I really have clear is that the best horses for this Championship is a TB horse.

There are no Polo Argetino Horse that could match the speed that the TB can reach in the Palermo polo fields.

The next thing I,m sure is that only the best horses in the world can play this polo, I understand that horses are brought from all over the world to play this Argentine Open, the players need them.

From the list I couldnt find nothing really new nor a new trend so practicaly I can state that the improvements came from abroad.

What I could see is that La Dolfina specially Adolfo Cambiaso (Jr.) is the player with the best list of horses, horses like Bruma and Legend in his hands are imposible to stop, a shown in the recent match won by La Dolfina against La Aguada, when both grey horses made the difference with thier terrific speed.

I saw the game yesterday so it was a pleasure to see them running with such superiority.

The key will be for the Final how Ellerstina can stop Cambiaso with his "incredible flyaing machines", as La Nacion journay said today.
