Barrilito is a cutie, isn't he? The first day I rode a horse named Santo (Saint, which he certainly was), who was a QH mix, but the second day they were nice enough to let me ride one of the Argentinian breeds (I think it's crillo). As they told me, very short, very wide, and very strong, and he was. It was slow-paced riding, but strenuous-- lots of steep ups and downs and a lot of the indiginous plants evolved to keep nibblers away-- very thorny, so I was glad I had my half chaps on. I still have a couple of burrs in my thumb from a stumble during a hike! Not exactly the souvenirs I intended to bring back...
