Guante I160 viewsOriginator of one of the eight foundation lines. Known for their strong cow working ability with less than ideal structural conformation. Today descendents of Guante I dominate the popular commercial lines of the Chilean Horse breed.
|
|
Gacho172 viewsOriginator of one of the eight foundation lines of the breed. His ancetry is known back to 1860 and his descendents in large part come to us through his grandson Colibri.
|
|
Cristal I159 viewsOther than some maternal lines that trace directly to Guante II, the paternal line of Guante I all go through this terrific 1903 model cow horse. His sons Quebrado, Enchufe and Cincel all started strong branches of the Guante I line, the former being the dominating lineage of the contemporary Chilean Horse.

|
Hacienda Aculeo's Alfil II169 viewsThis son of the foundation sire Angamos I was born in 1908 and yet he shows much of the type the Chilean Horse breeders still strive for today. One of the great sires to come out of Criadero Aculeo that dominated Chilean Horse breeding for nearly a century.
|
|
Quebrado184 viewsThe best son of Cristal I and presently the horse that has had the greatest influence in the contemporary Chilean Horse. An outstanding rodeo horse of average stature but with an impressive display of lateral speed which he has transmitted throughout the generations.
|
|
Colibri200 viewsThe most important stallion in the Gacho line. A product of sire- to- daughter inbreeding, he produced three superb branches with his sons Jalea Real, Nunca en Domingo and Siempre en Domingo.
|
|
Azahar I179 viewsA son of Alfil II that was considered one of the best conformed horses of the time. His son Madrigal was also admired for his great looks yet he sired the superb cowhorse Quicio who has left his influence through various good performance sires, one being the great No Me Toques.
|
|
Azahar I as a 3YO188 viewsIn 1916 Azahar I won a halter championship when he was only three years old. His conformation was so admired that he was selected as the model for the first sculpture that was meant to represent the ideal Chilean Horse.
|
|
Enchufe176 viewsThe best looking son of Cristal I from the Guante I line. He had many good looking progeny that helped offset the reputation that the Guante I line was full of conformational flaws. Unfortunately the two breeders that used him the most in their breeding programs did not campaign their horses in the rodeo. As a result he had many good halter and reining horses.
|
|
Coiron III178 viewsThis son of Curanto is part of the Alfil II branch of Angamos I and he was one of the most widely used stallions of his time. He got many good rodeo horses, but they had a reputation of being hard to train.
|
|
Comunista178 viewsOne of three outstanding stallions by Quebrado who were also out of Cosaco mares. He is best remembered as the sire of Rigor. Comunista was a small lightly built horse that was as tough as steel. He danced every dance and was competitive until he was well up in age.
|
|
Guarani168 viewsThis is one of the three sons of Quebrado out of Cosaco mares. He was the best looker of the three and the founder of the branch that was responsible for the superb corralero Estribo who in turn gave us the extraordinary Estribillo. In this photograph he is shown overweight at an old age and with a child on board.
