RIDING: Horses & Tack

HORSES
Caballadas is home to about 60 beautiful horses that roam free on our 20,000 hectar ranch. Our riding horses are well-schooled, local stock horses mixed with Anglo-Normandos, Criollos, and polo ponies. We have a large selection of horses for expert riders. They are neck-reined, usually well behaved, and sure-footed, making our riding trips safe and most enjoyable.

We ask our guests to provide us with an insight of your riding history and experience before you arrive, so we can begin thinking about which horse will be the best match for you. 

TACK
Caballadas has a large selection of saddles and tack. Our saddles include Chilean saddles (designed with comfort in mind for long days in the saddle), “pato” saddles (similar to a U.S. Western-style saddle with a horn), old army saddles, and polo saddles. For a more comfortable experience, they all have sheepskins on them secured with a rawhide over-girth.

Our bridles, halters, and over-girths are handcrafted of rawhide leather. At Caballadas, we care very much for our horses, which is why all our girths and pads are made of braided sheep wool, and are handcrafted by native Mapuche women.
