#HorseRidingAdventures

Gaucho Derby

"DURING THE RACE YOU GET 7 HORSES ASSIGNED BY THE GAUCHOS. THEY ARE THE LOCAL 'COWBOYS' IN PATAGONIA"

"YOU HAVE TO TAKE A NUMBER FROM THE HAT TO SEE WHICH HORSE YOU GONNA RIDE NEXT. BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO CATCH THAT HORSE!"

"YOU GET UP AT 5 AM AND THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS SEE IF YOUR HORSE IS STILL THERE."

"WHY DO I TAKE PART IN THESE KIND OF RACES? MY FIRST REACTION IS - WHY NOT?! HAHA... BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THE NATURE IS JUST REALLY AMAZING."

"IN THE MOUNTAINS I AM FREE, JUST THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY HORSE ANDMYSELF. SURVIVAL, REAL SIMPLE."

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR OWN EQUESTRIAN ADVENTURE?

GAUCHO DERBY

RACE THE WILD COAST

But there are also great tours you can do. All the beauty of the outdoors, but without the racing element. We have some clients who are now riding in Namibia. Even in the desert heat the Breezy Boxer functions well!
