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.

As last year La Dolfina Champion again in Tortugas Open

La Dolfina 14 Ellerstina 8

In an nice mild temperature day La Dolfina dominate Ellerstina, due mainly to a better shaped condition of their horses

Score
3-0 /4-2 /5-3/ 8-3 /8-4/ 11-6/ 14-8

La Dolfina presented again as a real Dream team, with a better understanding of the new rules and in a great day when everyting was going right, won without having any problem

Ellerstina with some home work to do as also hasnt the day facundo in a forgetable day too *lost three penalties *2 40 y and 1 60y buy totally out of focus today as his other team mates.

In order to explain what happen could be found in a different objective in the process to the Argentine Open , must improve it for certain, they posses the tools to regain its best shape.

Facundo Pieres shows a minor injury in his arm after the match.

Cambiaso MVP of the Tortugas Final, won also the best horses of the match, one the best of the final and the best Argentine polo horse, as also the top scorer... what else he can achive this year!

Ellerstina also must improve in the faults issue 14 are so much! against La Dolfina *only 8, cpuld be cause by a luck of consistecy shown after the 5th chukker (with  some wrong decision from the judges that again arent at the same levl as the players need) and evident frustration in thefield when nothing was working against La Dolfina precise order of their players, with an ideal atack and defense transitions of all players.

Ellerstina could play better that today! 

La Dolfina is in the right paterns to mantain there triple crown.
