The Criollo-a native of Argentina-is thought to be a relative of the Barb, Andalusian and Arab. Its ancestors were brought to South America by Spanish soldiers in the 16th century.... Nowadays the Criollo is a popular ranch horse. It is most valued for cross-breeding with Thoroughbreds, combining its hardy, athletic nature with the Thoroughbreds’ speed to produce some of the finest Polo ponies in the world.... Criollos are tough and intelligent. They are well known for their powers of endurance, and their quick, agile movement has made them popular with South American cowboys(gauchos) for herding cattle. They are also used for general and long distance riding and pack work.

OBS
