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.

Ban will stand for 15 days more

Ban will stand for 15 days more but with some diferences from the first restriction .

The Senasa will allow horses transportation between the horses stalled in the major racetracks due to the proven negatives in the analysis done on TB horses.

This will allow the movements of TB horses only as a safe corridor strictly controled by Senasa (Nat. Authority) but only between racetracks.

There will be major control inside the country and the total restriction of movements of horses in the Buenos Aires area nor into this area is still in place.

This new ban of movements started the 21st of May for 15 days until more analysis are made to control se spread of the virus.
