El Venado

El Venado Ranch comprises approximately 2,500 acres of fertile land in the Argentine Pampa.

The temperate climate favors natural, free range breeding of both polo ponies and cattle.

About a quarter of the 200 horses at El Venado are broodmares that produce a total of 30 foal per year. These young colts then pass through a a stringent selection process that emphasizes the physical composition as well as locomotion virtues and abilities. All have pure bred racing horses in their lineage.

Only 20 of these newly borns are tamed and trained during a program that includes 1 year of taming and 2 years of polo training.

Only after these 3 years are the first horses offered for sale. Nevertheless, the training process continues with special emphasis on managing and perfecting the horse´s movements.
