I ride a Stallion from Argentina . I am a rider not a breeder, so this is my observation only, I am not an expert, but my friend is and can rattle of bloodlines and imports from Argentina, it all makes my head spin, all I know for fact is they are easy horses to ride. My friend ownes him, the stallion, and breeds horses of the Argentine type, she has imported a Stud and a Mare from Argentina and makes regular trips to Argentina to study and evaluate horses so that she may keep the same type in her program. Her Argentine Horses are Mostly Crabbet with a Bibars ( Polish ) line. The Arab Horses in Argentina, many which came to be there from people fleeing the Nazis during World War Two in order to save the horses are bred to do something, work cattle, travel to the next ranch miles away etc. They have very long legs and short backs, also thick boned legs with large round feet, they do move like Gazels, I would compare them to a type of Arabian horse bred in the Us around 1950 to 1970, then some of the US breeders took a different Path. But the Americans have been down in Argentina, and Brazil, trying to change things, most notably, the Boggs with Padron ( big halter guys in the show ring for you non show folk, they also have a nasty reputation for cosmetic alteration on horses to get that winners look) and other US halter Blood. I imagine the Argentine riders are riding the Argentine working type Arabs, long legs short backs with a typy head, large eyes and big nostrils. This type of horse can be found in Crabbet line in the US you just have to shop around, there are a few breeders in the US who import from Argentina and beed the Argentina Arab, its cheaper to buy there horses, than to import your own. I think the Argentine riders will show us some of the fine breeding that they have at the Pan Am games in April , I will be cheering for the USA and Argentina. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
