The criollo is a hardy horse with a brawny and strong body with broad chest and well-sprung ribs. They have sloping strong shoulders with muscular necks, short and strong legs with good bone structure and resistant joints, low-set hocks and sound hard feet.Today, the horse is used mainly as a working-cow horse, but it is also considered a pleasure and trail horse which contributed a great deal to the Argentine polo pony.They are also excellent rodeo and endurance horses.The national rodeo competition is known as "paleteada", and it involves a paired team of horses and riders that approach a steer from both sides at a full run. The steer is sandwiched in between the two horses that lean onto the bovine, practically carrying it down a 60 m long delineated path beyond which the horses must not go during the defined trajectory. It is an amazing demonstration of control that can literally pick up a steer and place it wherever it needs to be.

Fabulous shot ! I never hear of this type of rodeo, and when I type paleteada it all comes in Spanish. So wondering if there is any cruelty in this sport, and if all the horses and cows are safe ?
Venetia Featherstone-Witty replied:
Thanks for the nice comment Miroslava. I suppose accidents could happen, but all involved are highly trained and I have never seen any cruelty or problems - this is how stray steers are rounded up on the ranches anyway out in the countryside in South America. The horses are bred for this kind of work and the gauchos treat them well and know how to bond with them as a team.
