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.

LA DOLFINA TO THE FINAL 15-7 over La Aguada

Sunny nice weather Field 1 (in regular condition)
La Dolfina Dubai shows that polo must be played in accordance to what you posses, your main attributes.
It won over an devaluated version of La Aguada (the unlucky brothers again!) due to the injured Javier Novillo Astrada to add misery to this team that didn't had Miguel also injured for this season.
Another thing to appoint is that La Aguda had 15 of their best horses injured this season too, that worries them as much as their lost players.
According to some well informed friends the team will change for the 2012 season with an inclusion of Alejandro NA in the next team.
Breeding changes must be took right of way!
Could be harmed with their next year Handicaps
Under these disadvantages, La Aguada played a extremely defensive game (their trademark !) to complicate the erratic game of the Dream Team in the firsts chukkas (until the 3rd the score was even in 2 goals per team!) until the demolition take place when playing La Dolfina with their best horses started to play with three players in offense with Nero as a classic back, to dominate the field the scoreboard is conclusive.
Scoreboard: LA Dolfina 1-1,, 2-2, 2-2, 5-3, 9-4, 10-6, 13-6 and 15-7
Scorers: La Dolfina Cambiasso Jr. 8:1 penalty, Stirling 1, Mac Donough 6 , Nero 0 ; La Aguada Javier NA 2, Toccalino 2, Eduardo NA 1 , Ignacio NA 2 penalties
A saw La Dolfina horses in better shape, to be at their best for the Final (next friday)!, as an example, Leyend played her best game in the season an showed the way to get out the La Aguada trap...
MVP are 2 in my opinion: Adolfo Cambiaso Jr., scorer of the match, in one of his best game of the season (returned to his old version as main leader player role how plays and make play the others), and Pablo Mac Donough in his role of the aid for a better version of Cambiaso Jr., a real powerhouse for La Dolfina.
Fouls: La Dolfina Dubai 13 (must improve in this section)- La Aguada: 5
Goals/Shots : La Dolfina 14/25 - La Aguada: 5/13
