About The Breed

The Criollo Horse descends from Spanish horses brought to South America in the 16th century. Over centuries of natural selection, it developed exceptional stamina, hardiness, and intelligence, thriving on open plains and in harsh climates. Compact yet strong, with resilient hooves and a well-muscled body, the Criollo excels in long-distance riding, cattle work, and ranch life. Celebrated for its endurance, sure-footedness, and gentle temperament, the Criollo remains a versatile and culturally significant horse throughout South America.
