Horses, Handling and Tack
The Pantaneiro Horse has been developed as a cattle horse during the last 200 years in the state of Mato Grosso, the Northern Pantanal, to serve on the large farms which, not rare, measured some 150-200 thousand acres. The Pantaneiro or Poconé Horses resemble the Crioulo horse from the Southern Brazilian pampas, showing a bit higher members, though. It has adapted through natural selection to the temporary flooded terrain of the Pantanal feeds even with the pasture under water and does not develop hoof diseases. The horses used by the peões (cowboys) to work the extremely agile Nelore cattle, are very alert and enduring even under heavy work load, when temperatures may reach 40 ºC and more. We offer those horses to the better qualified riders of the group.
Handling and tack of the horses is similar to the Western Style. Saddles are lighter and covered by 2-3 colorful sheepskin layers for long days riding.
Notes
No add-ons for high season or other local charges. No extra charge for single rooms. Early reservation highly recommended.
