The horses

We use Chilean horses that are shorter, but equally as strong as European horses. These animals are used to riding on rough and sloped terrain and behave very well. The saddles used were adapted locally many years ago from Arab and Spanish saddles and they are lined with leather that does not heat up in the sun and provides maximum comfort.
