The fascinating true story behind the image is that of Dr Emilio Solanet, who took the descendants of horses abandoned by the conquistadors and created a world-renowned breed famous for its toughness and agility...the Criollo. When challenged about the Criollo's abilities Solanet ordered two to be ridden from Buenos Aires to Washington DC....10,000 miles...in the greatest ever feat of equine endurance. Breeders today carry on the work begun by Emilio Solanet....perfecting the breed that has become known as the King of the Pampas.
