Hello, today talking about “The Chilean
horse” , also known as corralero.
I’m
interested in this topic because is a horse breed present in rural areas of
Chile , especially in the central and southern parts of this country.
The chilean
horse presents a specialized muscles for speed and an adaptation for living in
mountainous areas. Their hooves are strong and double coat makes it very
suitable for cold climates as well as warm and dry .
It is used
for various livestock , to herd cattle.
The main
function of the Chilean horses until the advent of the automobile and modern
farming practices was to serve as a means of transportation and as a mount for
those working with livestock , so the selection was aimed at producing animals
agile , strong and of medium size.
There are
different colors in horses generally accepted every variety , preferably
covered. Due to the thickness of your skin , the Chilean horse has no major
problems in colder climates , especially in the mountain . It should be noted
that Chile has much of its territory a cold mountain climate , due to the
presence of the Andes from the north to the far south of their territory.
The Chilean
horse is special intelligence and possessed of unparalleled meekness , and its
maximum attribute the strength to face any sort of effort.
Chilean Horse is extremely hardy . Your metabolism is low, is very
experienced , has a good immune system and also has a great capacity for
recovery. In other words, it is one of the best horses in the world.Regards!!!
