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.

Resume third day La Dolfina won still with doubts

As told this year La Dolfina Polo team its not ast the same polo level as last year, so but it still winning without giving or showing any inprovements.

Adolfo Cambiaso Jr., claimed all the match to his teammates more efforts during the match, but the match was won again due to Adolfito's incredible polo skills and horses.

Chapa Uno, played better than their first match, and made that La Dolfina played their best horses for the victory.

Resume
Field number One
La Dolfina 16 - Chapa Uno 13
Score by Chukka: La Dolfina 2-2 5-2 7-4 8-7 10-8 11-11 14-12 16-13
Cambiaso Jr. 11 goals (5 Penalties)


In the other match of the day Pilara won over Sao Jose, 18 - 12, with Agustin Merlos (9 Hcp).
Tincho Merlos is playing the best polo of the team, he leads the team and scored 11 goals (7 penalties).

They are playing very nice polo, open, with large strokes and running full speed.

It will nice to see both winning teams next weekend, to enjoy the best polo in the planet earth.

Also in my opinion, Pilara can win the match over La Dolfina, this way, they depends on the selection of their horses.
