They sat with me through a hard year. I don't think they knew what that meant to me.
🐴In loving memory
Mate
“Sure-footed and patient.”
2003 – 2022 · Horse · Criollo · Buenos Aires, Argentina
Mate taught two generations to ride and forgave every mistake. He knew the way home better than any of us did.
Their kind
The Criollo horse hails from South America, renowned for its exceptional endurance and hardiness. Shaped by the challenging pampas, this breed is agile, intelligent, and possesses a calm, willing temperament, making it an excellent partner for ranch work and riding.
