Pampas El Silencio

Introduction
Buenos Aires Argentina

Let yourself experience the amazing opportunity to discover the endless Argentine Pampas on the back of our Creoles, the horses of the legendary Gauchos. These Creole horses have a strong pace, steel nerves and a high endurance. They are known to be a quiet partner with a high performance.  Our horses are kept in herds at the meadows and are friendly to all levels of riders. Whether you are a beginner or highly-experienced, we have the ideal partner to ride and enjoy the unsurpassable adventure of “Riding as a gaucho”.

You can experience that famous picture showing the lonely rider followed by his faithful dog while you ride at sunset. Our horses are ridden following the typical Argentine custom to work in the countryside, which means only one hand to hold the reins with the bit. They react to the smooth pulls of the reins and movements of your body weight. Most of our saddles are typically used for work (rugs, horse-ball, Chilean).

Riding

To understand why the Argentine Creole horse is known to be a quiet partner with a high performance.  We offer you the possibility to know the characteristics and choice for the Creole horses in the Argentine pampas in a private and quiet atmosphere. Rides are organised in small groups of up to 10 people which lets us reach our goal: to offer a personalised and excellent service.

Let yourself experience the amazing sensation to know the endless Argentine pampas on the back of our Creoles, the horses of the legendary gauchos. These horses are not very food-demanding, have a strong pace, steel nerves and a high endurance. We keep our horses in herds at the meadows and they are very good mates and friendly both for beginners and experienced riders.

Itinerary

Exploration Ride
This ride offers a first glance of the Argentine pampas and provides confidence on how safe it is to ride our horses.  We ride on nearby and vacant paths and pass by haciendas and small granges.

Ride towards Espora
Espora is a small and lovely village nearby where a small train station marks the meeting point for neighbors and a place to refill canteens.  It is also a place where visitors are met by the maintenance worker of the historical buildings who will wait for us with some beverages and a quick meal (picada).

Ride to Videka blood-horse stud farm
Our friends, who are owners of the stud farm, invite us to share a typical English Tea in a high-style atmosphere.

Franklin
Our path leads us to quiet ranches where animal cattle can be seen grazing on green meadows.
In Franklin, some delicious specialties from our kitchen wait for us. After a short break, we make our way back.

Ride towards Tuyutí
As Espora, Tuyutí has a quaint train station. Nevertheless, Tuyutí is far from traffic roads and “in the middle of nowhere”.  During this ride we trot and gallop following the short gait, typical of the Creole horse.

Thus we can admire the strength, performance and endurance of these horses while we enjoy the beautiful landscape. We take supplies in saddlebags and stop for a picnic under a shaded tree along the way.

A typical day on a cattle-ranch
Getting to know how the gauchos work:  gathering the cattle, working the corrals (vaccination, brand mark, etc.).
