It happened about 10 years ago. On one of these trips that I undertake frequently to collect information about "the unknown Brazil", how I use to call the part of Brazil that is little known to the common tourist and most of the travel guides. A thought struck me: Why is it that nobody brings riders in to show all these hidden treasures best to reach on horseback? Well, that was the start of our riding operations at the mountain ranges of the Serra Geral down south and our horseback Wildlife Safaris in the cerrado savannahs of the Pantanal, with an amazing wildlife, considered to be the most spectacular and richest of the Americas.
As the pioneer I have always been, I had first to develop a concept that would convince riders from abroad to discover and consider Brazil as the extraordinary riding country that it in fact it is.
Today, we offer adventurous rides in Brazil's back country, providing thus our visitors with an unique insight on everything that is around horses: Horsemen, cattlemen, ranching, farming, traditions, feasts, rodeos, magnificent and contrasting landscapes and the most important: fine horses of absolutely reliable character. In the words of a client from the UK: "if you do that with our horses, they would just spook".
To transform the idea into a smooth working operation however I needed local partners. So I did a few more trips to find out not only the most beautiful places for our rides, checking out hidden trails that have never been open to non locals, but also trustworthy trail bosses, guides and hosts. According to all the enthusiastic comments that I receive from my clients I believe that I have actually found them. Here they are:
