Princeville, made in Argentina. Argentinians have a long and famous history of horsemanship, from the 'down and dirty' cowboy work of the gauchos to the equally extraordinary horsemanship of the world's best polo players. The gaucho forever out riding on the Pampas rain or shine. The horse is his indispensable accessory; it is said that a Gaucho without a horse was the same as a man without legs. Endurance
riding is extremely difficult in Argentina. The competition takes its inspiration
from life on an estancia. All horses participating in the contest must be present
30 days before the start. Without training or manipulation, strictly forbidden
by the rules, they spend this time together in a pasture. The goal is to homogenize
the physical condition of the animals; the contest aims at finding the horse with
the best genetic disposition, not the best training. Exceedingly difficult, the
contest consists of covering an itinerary of 750 kilometers (470 miles) in 14
days, 53.5 km (33.5 miles) per day, without extra food or medicine. The horses
feed only on the grass they encounter on the Pampa, and must carry 110 kilograms
(240lbs)! Nutritional complements and drugs are forbidden. Each spring, around
20 horses take part in this adventure. The best horses contribute to the fame
of the estancia that produced them. Princeville
