The 22 horses at the Estancia are mostly Thoroughbreds and Argentine criollos. "Serrano" horses, which are incredibly hardy and sure-footed, are used for the Sierra portion of the ride. The horses vary in size, type and temperament. Most of them have been raised at the Estancia, and are extremely well natured. A variety tack is used, including the "Gaucho" saddle topped with sheepskin together with an Argentineans bridle and bit - the gaucho saddle is very comfortable. A suitable mount will be selected for you according to your weight, height and ability. English saddles are also used. After dinner tango lessons!
