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.

Ellerstina won the Championship!

Ellerstina 12  vs. La Dolfina 10

As told was a Sunny day mild winds blowing from the southeast brought a new champion and a new King Facundo Pieres

Excellent selection of  the set of horses give the match for a real team not a constellation of stars in decline as a team

With a worst couple of Argentine Referees, they where so horrible but against both teams but in the last chukka incredibly they let the game be played hard against La Dolfina ...

Also its true that in La Dolfina was the worst day in the present times, with no activity from Mc Donough and specially from Stirling, leaving all the burden to Cambiasso that also lost easy goals for his skills, in his first shows of aging or decadence in the Field 1 of Palermo .

In the match La Dolfina didn't gather to solve the problems of the game, everyone was like in their world without any show of association surprisingly I feel that this was the last time to see them together.
