2024 Gaucho Derby set for February 4-18

Equestrianists.com

Billed as "the greatest test of horsemanship and wilderness skills on earth,” the Gaucho Derby, is set to take place February 4-18 in Patagonia.

Based on “the landscape, culture, history and horses of Patagonia and the Gaucho, 40 riders from the USA, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, France, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Great Britain, will navigate their way through the wild lands of Patagonia on horseback. They will ‘race’ between estancias and horse stations along the course; horses will be checked along the route and will have to pass vet checks to continue on and avoid penalties.

Stay tuned for more!
