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.

G.P. Internacional Carlos Pellegrini (G I ) won by Interaction

Today as told in this blog the Pellegrini was ran, and it was won by Interaction, a son of EASING ALONG (USA) and INTER RAILS by RIDE THE RAILS (USA), trained by the argentinean Mr. Alfredo Gaitan Dassie , from the Futura Stud and bred by the Haras Futura (that breds in Argentina and the owners are from Chile).

The 2400 meters (1 1/2 mile) was ran in 2 minutes 23 seconds 19/100,and was won by 3 lengths.

The horse came from a middle position running outstandingly the last 400 meteres (1 furlong).

The Pacemaker was Escolaso (Uru) that became 17th at the finish line and 18th the horse I spoke about some days ago too, Fuego e Hierro (that was third in the last corner!), what a mess, for these poor good horses.

The jockey was the well known good peruvian rider Edwin Talaverano.
