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

Possible stand for 15 days more of the ban

New cases confirmed makes difficult to lift the ban.

The National Commission for the Equine Sanitary Health admited that the virus is still active and spreading around as 5 horses tested negative now are positive as informed in the meeting.

Today the Argentine TB Breeders Assocation will have a meeting with the President of the National Sanitary Service (Senasa) trying to lift the ban for TB, due to the knowledge that no TB horse give possitive in their analysis and control in the major Racetracks stalls .

I see difficult the lift because the other areas of the horse business pretends that the restriction still in place until more controls are made by the Authoirities.

Also I can see that in the La Plata Racetrack that the races are full with lesser problems fill them because the ban of restiction of all movements of horses than in the Palermo and San Isidro, that can indicate a non restricted control of the ban by the National Authorities and the Authorities of the La Plata Racetrack in the way the horses arrival. This conclusion is also published today in La Nacion. newspaper.
