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.

Confirmed presence in Showjunping Clubs in the City of Buenos Aires

As told I spoke with different friends in the Clubs an told me that is true the presence of the virus in their clubs in the City of Buenos Aires area.

The ban is still in place. The virus is about 10 blocks away from the Hipodromo de Palermo racetrack.


In a new information given today, Dr. Cesar Valle, a well known vet in the horse racing industry, told that no racehorse presented the virus yet in the stalls inside the major Racetracks of San Isidro and Palermo. As also he told to La Nacion (argentine newsapaper) that the National Authorities acted in acordance to the normal precedure.

There are heavy pressure from the racetracks to lift the ban, that can allow the transportations of the horses in and out the Buenos Aires zone.

That could be an error in my opinion if there are no control at all.

This weelk Senansa (NAt. Autority) will present the evolutiuon
