Chapter II-7
Foundation Horses and Breeders
The following is a list of foundation sires of the Chilean Horse breed and their
respective breeders. The genealogical tree was started from the information available in the
book Caballos Chilenos: Genealogía de una raza, 1837 a 1997, by Arturo Montory G. This
work not only serves in giving vivid examples of the various studies I have referred to on breed
characteristics, but it is also a helpful collection of sire lines and families that can easily be
consulted and studied. As in all works that compile this magnitude of information, there are
some errors in spelling and origins of some lineages that in no way diminish the contribution
Mr. Montory has made to clearly exposing the major families in the Chilean Horse breed. As I
have come across these oversights, I have corrected them in the recompilation I have made
below, without claiming perfection in the review or in the substantial additions I have provided
to the contemporary members of the family.
The horses on this updated list are stallions in sire lines of merit. At times, little-known
horses are included because their lineage reaches a noteworthy horse down the line. In many
cases, the outstanding progeny have been geldings or mares that will not appear in this chart,
even though knowing these facts justifies the inclusion of their sire. In the more prolific lines,
some individuals of average consideration may have been omitted due to the limitations of
space, whereas in the lines that are slowly losing representation in the breed, horses of average
consideration were included to offer alternatives in a family that has few descendants to speak
of.
For the reader being exposed to the Chilean Horse for the first time, this chapter may be
confronted as an informative light read to familiarize oneself with the most important horses of
the breed. Hopefully, in part due to this book, interest will be stirred to have hands-on
experience with the Chilean Horse. As the opportunities to experience this breed become more
real, no doubt a greater interest in the family lines will flourish. To those that pursue the unique
experience of owning a Chilean Horse, this chapter will prove an invaluable tool in evaluating
the caliber of the options for purchase. As Chilean Horse breeders emerge, once again this
chapter should offer a solid foundation of knowledge obtained through detailed study of its
contents. It goes without saying that this list will continually have to be updated in order to
make the wisest choices in the future of any breeding programs.
Will Other Foundation Lines Accompany Guante I into the Future of the Chilean Horse?
Before going into the details of the eight family lines in the Chilean Horse breed, I think
it is important that we come to a general consensus regarding the importance and distribution of
these lines. The summary clearly points out that, of the eight lines in the Chilean Horse breed,
only the Guante I is thriving with the vigor of numbers and diversity. If this tendency
continues, it seems that in the future the Guante I line will be comparable to the Eclipse line of
the Thoroughbred breed, to which over 80 percent of registered representatives can be traced.
Although outcrosses can still occur within families that have a sufficient number of generations
evolving independently, the breed should ideally work to keep genetic material from other sire
lines alive. This is a crucial moment to pursue this goal that will assure a broader genetic pool in
future years, when the proportion of Guante I blood could dangerously saturate the breed.
Although the Angamos I and Gacho lines are well represented in the breed through their
maternal influences, it would be very interesting if some paternal lines could be developed.
Unfortunately, the Halcón II, Mancha, and Caldeado/Bayo León lines offer very little hope, as
paternally, they have died out. The Angamos I sire line will soon dry up if some serious efforts
are not made to fortify its presence through remaining individuals. The Chamal line offers some
remote opportunities through the descendants of El Huila. As is so often the case, this
extraordinary performer did not live up to his expectations at stud. However, records would
indicate that he was far from a failure, and concentrating his genes may offer an opportunity

worth pursuing before the Chamal family is lost all together in Chilean Horse sire lines. Many
examples exist of what could be considered a nick between the Chamal and Guante I line, and
this should give us more reason to work hard to not permit the disappearance of this lineage.
Dangerously, the once-potent Africano line seems to be losing its paternal pizazz as it
strongly incorporates itself into the breed on the maternal side through horses such as Morocho.
The valuable stud horses still available deserve needed backing. The magnate of the poultry and
swine empires, Gustavo Vial, flirted with this potential while risking criticism for not jumping
on the bandwagon of more popular bloodlines. His audacity reimbursed him with some of his
most important victories before conforming to the Guante I line, which has not nicked
particularly well with his broodmare band. Hopefully, he and others can be even more
aggressive in the future to do the breed justice in expanding the hereditary resources that still
exist. It would be a shame if all the genius of men such as Estanislao Anguita goes by the
wayside by not revitalizing these potentially viable sire lines.
In my opinion, it seems that the strongest candidate for a viable outcross on the Guante I
line would come from the Gacho line. The fact that early on this was considered a good
maternal line is indicative of the kinds of shifts that can take place through planned breeding.
Relatives of Gacho offer a viable opportunity through the strength that has come in the
descendants of Colibrí. Hopefully, this potential could be “kick started” by inter-breeding
amongst the three most potent lines that continue with life. Ironically, the Gacho line gained its
initial notoriety from a dominance that came from this highly inbred individual. Nowhere is
some form of intelligent inbreeding more drastically needed than in these dwindling sire lines
that still have contemporary performers of excellence that can be tapped to concentrate desirable
genes.
The greater predictability of breeding like-to-like should be easier within a family line
where phenotypes are more similar. In concentrating the bloodlines of a family, the greater
homozygosity should help establish more dominant sires that pass on the selected traits more
consistently. Since in the Chilean Rodeo, environment has a proportionally higher role than
genetics in the end results, it is critical that progressive breeders with wherewithal and vision
concentrate on giving all the opportunities for these lines to revitalize themselves.
Unfortunately, for the most part, these less popular and less marketable lines have been in the
hands of those who could not afford the horses that are in vogue and as a result the breeding,
training and competing practices all have been less than optimal.
Once a representative of a non-Guante line horse whose name is associated with a
prestigious breeding establishment obtains success in the medialunas, then a snowball effect
will cause these dwindling lines to incorporate themselves back into the population, as all the
less conscientious breeders will blindly follow the trend. In developing an excellent caliber
inbred line for outcross purposes, these revitalized sire lines will benefit from the heterozygosity
of receiving the high numbers of Guante I bloodlines on the dam side. This will certainly fortify
their appreciation as sire lines, and hopefully the breed can keep alive one or more families
outside of those that are now prospering. Incidentally, this was the formula for success of the
Guante I line. It is true that some excellent stallions evolved from this line, but many counted
on maternal lines that were saturated with the best Angamos I had to offer.
You are now familiar with the breed, its breeders, it horsemen and its horsemanship. It is
now time for you to become familiar with the extraordinary individuals that gave this superb
breed its unique characteristics. In the following pages you will find the names of the horses and
breeders that have been responsible for the shaping of the Chilean Horse breed for the last 165
years. These are names that will compare with Wing Commander, Justin Morgan,
Hambletonian, Dan Patch, Raffles, Domino, Peter McCue, King P234, Three Bars, Midnight
Sun, Adios, General Gates, Secretariat, Man o’ War, Poseido VII, Habanero VIII, Dulce
Sueño, Bardrill Glenord, Hy Diamond Boy, Stud Spider, Red Eagle, Sol de Oro, Dash for
Cash, Lexington, and so many other all-time greats of other breeds.

NOTE: The names of the horse breeding farms of the breeders mentioned in each of the foundation sire lines
can be found in the Appendix No. 14
March 2008 edition

The eight basic sire lines that make up the Chilean Horse breed express a relatively
narrow genetic base in this breed. Realistically, only five have the potential to be salvaged as
sire lines. This may be further aggravated by the fact that the Guante I line is propagating itself
in much greater numbers than the rest. The recently deceased stallion Estribillo has a large
number of sons that went to stud, due to the dominance that their sire showed. Still, the small
size of most Chilean Horse breeding farms, coupled with the fact that few outside seasons are
sold to third parties, greatly reduces the possibility of having too much influence in the breed
from any one individual. The phenomenon we are seeing is not from the aggressive use of any
individual at stud, but rather that the horses selected to stand at stud are in great part coming
from one foundation line and one branch within that line specifically.
By touching on the foundation sires of each of these lines, we can make some
generalizations regarding each one:
Angamos I
This outstanding foundation sire was a son of Alfil I (1873), who in turn was by El Chino
(1869), a son of El Chino Viejo (1862) by the famous El Quebrado (1850). Angamos I’s dam
was China II who was by Chino Viejo (1862) and out of China I, thus making her a full sibling
to Angamos I’s paternal grandsire, El Chino (1869). This pedigree shows an interesting 3S X
2D inbreeding both to El Chino Viejo (1862) and China I, as well as a 4S X3D inbreeding to El
Quebrado (1850). I refrain from speculating whether China I was possibly related to El Chino
Viejo (1862). The similarity in names to his other daughters makes one suspect she might be a
daughter as well, in which case the inbreeding would be greater yet.
It is interesting that the founder of this
family was a strongly inbred individual. The
early breeders seemed to pick up on this, as
Alberto Correa V. bred Angamos I back to a
daughter Lluvia, and obtained the beautiful
chestnut Cóndor I that obviously was inbred
1S X 2D to Angamos I and 3S X 4S X 4D X
5D to both El Chino Viejo (1862) and China
I. Another infamous breeder (and one of
Chile’s best known historians), Francisco
Antonio Encina, went a step further and bred
Cóndor I to a daughter of Alicanto, another
son of Angamos I. This line breeding
increased the foundation sire’s blood even
more. The end product, Volador, resulted

in an inbreeding that was 2S X 3S X 4D
I (1902) a product of a 1S x 2D inbreeding
to Angamos I. Guillermo Barker, in turn,
bred Volador to Serpentina, who was a daughter of Haragán, and thus a granddaughter of
Cóndor I. The breeding plan now not only concentrated the blood of Angamos I, but also that
of his son Cóndor I. This cross-produced Aviador, who was inbred 2S X 3D to Cóndor I and
3S X 4S X 4S X 4D to Angamos I.
Francisco Encina was very pleased with his 1923 foal Volador, and the next year he put
the inbreeding to use once again. This time, he used a homebred stallion named Damasco, who
himself was an extremely interesting case of inbreeding. His dam Lila was inbred 2S X 2D to
the impeccable horse Bayo León that was all but lost to the breed. Francisco Encina’s dream
was to recreate the utopian Bayo León, and he hoped that this cross would bring him a step
closer. Mr. Encina crossed Damasco with a daughter of Angamos I and produced another
famous branch of the family in the horse Batro. This horse was inbred 3S X 2D to Angamos
I and 3D X 3D to Bayo León. This smaller dun stallion is considered one of the best rodeo
horses of his time, and the influence he has had on the breed has been tremendous.
All these horses were dominant sires that solidly stamped this family line. With time, the
line breeding in the Angamos I family would be forgotten, although breeders like the visionary
Darío Pavez kept it alive to produce the 1928 foal Contagio. This excellent corralero, who
March 2008 edition
395
showed great promise as a stud before dying prematurely, was inbred 2S X 3D to Alfil II, and
thus 3S X 4D to Angamos I.
The unforgettable Miguel Letelier also concentrated the Angamos I genes with success in
the 1930’s, when he produced his
well-known Quicio. This was
considered one of the best allaround horses his farm ever
produced. For a farm with the
record of Hacienda Aculeo, that is
saying a lot! He was not only a
great performance horse, but also
was full of breed type. Quicio was
inbred 4S X 3D to Angamos I.
Five years later, Don Miguel
would plan an even more intricate
breeding that produced Veguero.
This National Champion two-yearold halter horse that went on to
produce many fine corraleros was
inbred 3S X 3D to Alfil II and 4S
Figure II.264
X 4D X 4D to Angamos I.
Veguero (1939) combined good looks and cow working instincts.
Junquillo and Lienzo were other
products that resulted from this master breeder’s understanding of inbreeding, as both were 4S
X 3D to Alfil II.
Perhaps the horse most often seen in modern pedigrees from this foundation line is No
Me Toques. It is not surprising that this great 1944 stud was also 4S X 3D to Alfil II. Two of his
best sons are Brujo and Abalorio. Wouldn’t you just know it! Brujo was inbred 5S X 4S X 5D
to Alfil II, and, if I might stretch
inbreeding to six generations, we can
see that Angamos I is found in 6S X 5S
X 6D X 5D. Abalorio, who tied for the
Number 1 ranking stallion in the nation
as a rodeo horse, was inbred 6S X 5S X
4D to Angamos I. It would seem that
the solid conformation of this line
makes it very well suited for inbreeding.
Moreover, the inbred pedigrees of so
many of the founding horses surely
must have done a great deal to sift out
undesirable recessive genes. The
usefulness of this tool is something that
breeders like Francisco Encina, Miguel
Letelier and Darío Pavez understood

breeding style have died out, so has the
dominance of the Angamos I line.
Few breeders used inbreeding in this line in the second half of the 20th century, and those
that did chose to concentrate bloodlines of old horses that were too far back in the pedigree.
Still, it is worth noting that Daniel Pardo B. in 1948 found it useful in producing Danilo, who
was a grandson of Huicano (Cóndor I) on the sire side and Corzo on the dam side. As a result,
Danilo was a 5S X 4D inbreeding to the old foundation stud, Angamos I. The “new” Criadero
Aculeo in the hands of the Araya-Claro partnership also tried their hand at concentrating the
blood of Angamos I when they bred Cosechero. Angamos I appeared in the sixth and fifth
generations of his sire and dam respectively, but, more importantly, there was a 5S X 4D
March 2008 edition
396
inbreeding to Brujo. A weak effort to fortify the family, but the product was still a top-notch
halter horse that made it to the finals of the National Rodeo Championship.
In 1977, a colt was born from a mating planned by the distinctive breeder Leonardo
García S. He received the often-used name of Acampao, but he was the product of a
sire/daughter mating. By the Number 1-ranked corralero Abalorio and out of his daughter
Alcaparra, beyond the obvious, this is not only a solid Angamos I pedigree, but also has five
crosses of Gacho, two of Africano and NO Quebrado. With very little use at stud, he sired a
multiple qualifier for the Champion of Chile, El Ministro, proving he had the ability to transmit
competitive horses in the modern Rodeo. In hindsight, it is a shame that a horse with this
pedigree could not have been used tactically to invigorate the dying Angamos I line.
I searched for the 29-year old horse Acampao in vain and finally came across Rubén
Vadebenito, a fine horseman who also valued his potential. He too, had been trying to find the
equine senior citizen and when he finally located his whereabouts he arrived just one week too
late, as the fine stallion had been sent to the slaughter house to make “charki”. Acampao was
terminated because no one had any interest in using the horse at stud, yet this foundation line
has been so generous to the breed that it behooves Chilean breeders to make an effort to retain it
with the proven methodology of inbreeding.

joints. Most of his descendants
were of above-average height
and had a more prominent withers and a shorter back than is typical for the modern breed. Still,
there is a generalized good balance and athleticism throughout most representatives of this line.
These characteristics have made them prolific ribbon winners in halter competitions. Although a
greater number of modern descendants of this line have shown their worth in the medialuna,
there has been a consistent tendency to have excellent “rienda” horses throughout the years of
the Angamos I line.
Angamos I carried a recessive chestnut gene as one of his outstanding sons was the
flashy chestnut with four white stockings, Cóndor I. This sire gave rise to the Haragán and
Brujo lines that are full of beautifully conformed horses. Alicanto was another chestnut son that
reinforced the Angamos I line. He was a very strong individual that looked more like a Quarter
Horse than a Chilean Horse, however few of his offspring obtained his type of conformation.
He was better known for passing on his tremendous cattle working ability than promoting his
good looks.
Interestingly, another of Angamos I’s more prominent sons, Corzo, was a dun roan, also
an atypical color for the breed. With a blazed face and four white stockings, his color and
markings highlighted his illustrious Chilean Horse type. This conformational merit was passed
on actively through the generations. A son, Chacarero, was heralded at many fairs. From him
descend the “Sello de la Raza” winners Rotoso and his son El Taita that today offer any
remaining hope for the Angamos I line. Another son, Vuelto, was also admired and exalted
throughout the fair circuit for an impeccable conformation.
March 2008 edition

With a more traditional hair
color, the dun son of Angamos I, Alfil
II, continued to make an impact on
the good looks in this sire line, while
also siring good performers. He
himself was a complete package that
was admired for his conformation,
temperament and his cow working
ability. Sons such as Caguil I and
Curanto (1921) were proud bearers
and transmitters of all these attributes.
The latter continued to assure that
good looks were at the forefront of the
Angamos I line. His sons Coirón III,
Figure II.267 Coiron 3 (1944) was good looking stallion that always

attracted a large book of mares.
For their exceptional conformation.
Coirón III was so popular at the time that he became the stallion with the most number of
offspring registered in the breed. Cinturón, on the other hand, was responsible for one of the
finest physical specimens of the breed, in Apio.
Probably no representative of the Angamos I line better represents conformational
fortitude than Azahar I. This 14.2 hand stallion was on the top end of the height spectrum of the
breed. Yet, he was so well made that he was used as a model for a sculpture that was meant to
represent the ideals of the Chilean Horse in his day. Through his spectacular-looking son
Madrigal, there is a preponderance of horses of varied performance ability, but all are
invariably described to have the much-sought-after breed standards.
Due to that fact that the breed was going through difficult times in those years, Angamos
I was campaigned under saddle until he was 21 years old. It was only due to the astuteness of
Mr. Alberto Correa that he was offered an opportunity at stud. For 10 years, Mr. Correa used
Angamos I with resounding success. When the fame of his offspring became well recognized,
he was also used by one of best breeding farms of the day. Hacienda Aculeo sought the services
of this grand old stallion in the breeding seasons between 1903 and 1907. In spite of the very
limited use Hacienda Aculeo had of Angamos I, it is notable the impact this horse had in
fortifying their leadership in the industry. One cannot help but note the frequency with which
these two names are coupled in the history books. The use of Angamos I was curtailed in his
last breeding season, as he died on the last day of January of his 31st year!!
Truly, this horse is a testimony, not only to the longevity of the usefulness of this breed,
but also to defying the often-repeated misconception that old age affects the quality of the
genetic material transmitted in reproduction.
Figure II.268 Madrigal (1930) came by his good
looks rightly as his sire was used as a model for a
sculpture of the breed standard.

Guante I
It would be more correct to call this the “Cristal I line”, as every sire of importance that
goes back to Guante I does so through this dominant grandson. Still, it is worth starting from
the beginning, because it gives precedence to where the genes originate and also serves to
inform about the contribution of the original Guante I line, which played a strong role in the
maternal bloodlines of the breed.
Guante I comes from the original Aculeo breeding program of Patricio Larraín
Gandarillas. He is the only foundation stallion whose pedigree is unknown. The Angamos I sire
line is known for three generations, dating back to 1850. Gacho goes four generations back to a
horse known to have foaled in 1860. Halcón II goes back two generations to his namesake in
1850. Chamal´s parentage is only known back to his sire, born in 1890. Caldeado’s records
were probably in the notes of Pedro de Cuevas, but no one gives them much thought since he is
an 1835 model.
It seems that the nebulous breeding of the little foal that accompanied one of the mares
they purchased was the reason the Letelier family decided not to keep the horse. It is estimated
that he was born around 1867. Mr. Manuel María Figueroa purchased Guante I as a three-yearold. He campaigned the horse extensively before he sold him as a 15-year-old to Ignacio Diaz
de Valdes. In his later years, he came into the hands of Mr. Agustín Edwards Ross, on whose
hacienda he lived out the rest of his days.
Unlike Angamos I, Guante I was not gifted with an outstanding conformation. It is clear
that his virtues were related to his abilities as an athletic and gutsy performer. He was carefully
passed through the hands of a horse breaker, an initial trainer and, finally, a more polished
trainer that clearly made him one of the most-talked-about performance horses of his time. He
bore a courageous cow working ability that was admired, and which he also passed on with
dominance to his offspring.
Conformation-wise, Guante I left a lot to be desired. He was a coarse horse with a very
convex facial profile. His rusticity was depicted by thick skin that gave rise to his dun hair coat.
He was not very well made structurally, with only medium bone that terminated in small
hooves. He was very straight in the shoulders and pasterns, and had prominent, somewhat sickle
hocks. He was small in stature and not very muscular, with a very narrow girth that presented an
unimposing body mass. Yet, having said this, he was considered to be a decently proportioned
individual, with the thickness of neck and a wide ample chest that is sought after in this stock
horse breed.
Although Guante I sired performers of merit like Don Blas, El Noble, Tintero, etc.,
when crossed with the Cuevana mare Eulalia, in 1880 he produced by and far his best son at
stud, Guante II. Guante II was a heavier and larger version of his sire. He measured 146 cm
(14.1 ½ hands) in height, which made him taller than he was long. This was a very unusual find
in this breed. The cylindrical barrel, thick skin, convex head and sickle hocks were all similar to
his sire.
Guante II differed in that he had a strong, bulky, shoulder and a larger, coarser head.
This proved detrimental to balance his somewhat short and narrow croup. For the sake of
conformation, it may be an unfortunate reality, but Guante II has had a tremendous influence
on the Chilean Horse breed, as he transmitted his genes through 34 different registered
daughters. More influential was the fact that his breeder Miguel Campino had a complete
dispersal of his operation, and the daughters of Guante II were distributed among the best
breeding farms of the era.
Although it is known that Guante II had an excellent disposition, he was not tested in
performance events so as to challenge the merits so well remembered in his sire. In 1903, he
was bred with another good-natured horse, the gray mare Mezcla from the Hacienda Aculeo.
She was considered the blue hen of this famous breeding establishment, and thus the
performance ability of the Guante I line was assured. The resulting horse Cristal I turned out to
be one of the rodeo stars of the time.
March 2008 edition
399
While maintaining the hardy nature that is
sought after in the ranch horse, the “glass-eyed” Cristal
I was admired for a breed type that was being defined
as the most suitable for Chile. Unlike many earlier
representatives of the breed, including his sire, Cristal
I was much longer than he was tall. His 141 cm (13.3
hands) of height was average for the breed. However,
he had a stronger withers, shoulder, hindquarter and
loin than his sire and grandsire. He also improved on
his progenitors’ traits by having good, thick bones and
strong joints. He maintained the long, convex head and
Figure II.269
thick mane and tail that were so characteristic of
Cristal I (1903) was a son of the superb mare
Copa Nº392 (also known as Mezcla)
all Chilean Horses. He so excelled at stamping his
phenotype on his progeny that many touted him as
being the best sire of the breed. This, in spite of weak pasterns on outwardly rotated forehands
and poorly conformed hind legs.
Throughout Cristal I’s life he was utilized by various breeding farms. Although bred in
Aculeo, he was sold to Alberto Parot’s Hacienda Las Mariposas. As a 15-year-old stallion, he
returned to Aculeo. Later, he was sold to one of his greatest admirers, Mr. Adolfo Luco.
The latter breeder was responsible for Cincel, one of Cristal I’s best siring sons. This
1920 model stallion was much more refined and classy than his sire. Through his son Gato B,
he was responsible for Faustino, a small, very ranchy type of horse that had tremendous
potential in the rodeos. This gave rise to a prolific line of performance horses that made their
own fame in rodeos, including multiple representatives in the finals of the Champion.
Mr. Luco showed that his faith in Cristal I was
merited, as in 1921 he produced yet another outstanding
sire in Enchufe. This unusually well conformed horse was
out of one of Mr. Luco’s best and most beautiful mares.
He never competed in performance events, but he was
unbeatable at halter. Mr. César Rozas (who bred only for
conformation and “rienda”) and Alberto Araya both used
the stud, and it is said that his daughters were some of the
prettiest in the breed. Colts like Granerino, were named
best looking stallions of the breed. Longaviano was
another handsome bay stallion that was out of the beautiful

mare Colicura. This mare was a terrific rodeo competitor

in spite of only having three sons.
he wasn’t used much at stud and most of his contribution
to the breed comes from his son Quillacón I, who was out of another incredible performance
line.
The strength of this strain can be seen in Pucho, a sixth generation descendant of
Enchufe that produced Vadeadora, which is often mentioned as one of the most beautiful
Chilean mares ever seen. However, in keeping with the lineage, the fortitude of performance
was never far off, as even in this better-looking strain of the Guante I line, Vadeadora was a
National Champion rienda horse and arguably one of the all-time best rienda horses of the
breed. Another Pucho mare, Aceitaita, is remembered as one of the best rodeo competitors ever,
having been crowned Champion of Chile on two occasions, in 1961 and 1966.
If the origins of the Guante I line were not very strong phenotypically, one can surely say
that it had the good fortune of meeting up with Adolfo Luco and César Rozas. Through
Enchufe, one of Cristal I’s best looking sons, they both fortified this line with many more solid
genes for marvelous conformation that were found in their select broodmare bands. Time and
time again, the results were proven, as exceptionally attractive, elite performance horses
appeared in numbers that would certainly have surprised the old keepers of Guante I.

The third major branch of the Cristal I line (Guante I and II included), is the one that
came about through Hacienda Aculeo. On paper, one would think the dark bay horse Quebrado
(1919) offered an interesting cross of the innate athleticism of the Guante I line with the solid
conformation of the Angamos I line, as his dam Franela was by the versatile dun Alfil II.
Since it also united some of the best performance blood of Angamos I, it’s of no surprise that
Quebrado (1919) was quickly considered one of the most talented cow horses of his time.
Quebrado (1919) only stood at 138 cm (13.2
hands), but he had a great deal of breed type. He had
the typical slightly convex head with small foxy
ears, possessed well-defined muscle mass and an
extremely thick mane and tail. Although he was not
as thick as some in hindquarters and loin, these
maintained good proportions with the rest of his
body. He had the cylindrical barrel, deep chest and
thick but elongated neck that was becoming more
and more synonymous with good rodeo
performance. He showed a lot of heart in the rodeos.
He was aggressive in making contact with the cattle.
Still, due to his small stature, initially he was only

foundation line to the limelight.
To his good fortune, from the first time
Quebrado stepped into a medialuna, an enthusiastic Chilean Horse breeder by the name of
Darío Pavez fell in love with the horse. His insistence and Aculeo´s stronger faith in another
two sons of Cristal I eventually gave way to the transaction that would most strongly affect
Chilean Horse history. The careful breeding plan that was implemented in the Criadero Las
Camelias would be responsible for the strongest and most prolific sire lines of all time. The
propensity of using more than one branch of the Quebrado family is today responsible for a lot
of unplanned fourth and fifth generation inbreeding that continues to propagate with even more
vigor the qualities of this spectacular horse.
Quebrado’s results at stud immediately earned him the top spot on the totem pole of Las
Camelias as their stallion battery grew to larger numbers. His lineage was assured by the likes
of Refuerzo, a homely version of his father with a long muzzle, a more Roman nose and much
less muscle mass. However, the horse had a great deal of performance ability, as his dam was
the winner of the second running of the Champion in Santiago. Proving his abilities in the arena
became a moot point when he sired the likes of Fundador and Indio, who were consistently in
the top 10 slots in rodeo competition.
Quite unlike Refuerzo, Quebrado’s son
Picurrio was an upgraded version in aesthetic
appeal. Not only was he Quebrado’s best-looking
son, but he was also touted as an extremely talented
rodeo horse. He came by his attributes rightly as he
was inbred 3X3 to the grand matriarch of Hacienda
Aculeo, the unforgettable mare Mezcla. For the most
part, his claim to fame as a sire has with horses that
have excelled at halter, but he also had performers
like Latigo, Resongón and Dietista. The latter was
not only a beautiful mare, but a Champion Rienda
Horse as well. When Picurrio was bred to the

stud, Picaporte. This was a particularly interesting
breeding because Picaporte was linebred 3x3x4 to Cristal I and 4X4X4X5 to Mezcla. This
impressive black horse with his sire’s conformation put out a whole slew of good stallions such
as Peleco, Troncal, Quillacón, Sedal, Punteo and Morcacho. The latter was another
wonderfully conformed representative of the Picurrio line that proved to be an excellent

rodeo horse up into his twenties. Horses like the good looking Cristobal, who is also an able
corralero, carry on this the best-conformed branch of the Guante I.
The 1929 dun horse, Don Fulano, was a son of Quebrado (1919) that never competed in
any manner. Yet, at stud he has shown his worth in siring an interesting branch of performance
horses. Mostly through his grandson Verdejo, a good cow horse in his own right, there is a
series of stallions that have done well in the rodeos, as well as producing more like them at stud.
Vespertino, who won the Champion of Chile beside Estribillo in 1980, would be a prime
example of the talent that can be found in the Don Fulano branch of Quebrado (1919)
Every breed has an “Iron Horse” -- the individual that competes time and again and
always gives 100 percent even though there seems to be no rest in sight. The fourth lineage
from the Quebrado (1919) branch of the Guante I line exemplifies just such an individual. His
name is Comunista, and he was born an insignificant specimen that probably should have been
castrated, as his only logical function was held in the hopes of his being a good performance
horse. He was a very small horse, with slight muscling but a good solid structural make up. The
scrappy little dark bay was run at every opportunity, all year round. In the 20-year ranking of
the horses from the Chilean Rodeo circuit between the years 1945 and 1965, this almostoverlooked little stallion was rated the fourth best stallion to compete during the period.
Comunista’s merits in the ring led him to the breeding establishment of Santa Elsa.
Momo Moller and Estanislao Anguita later purchased him. It is fortunate that a horse with so
few qualifications at the stud should fall in the hands of two progressive breeders with high
expectations. Sometimes, it is hard to tell whether a good horse makes a breeder, or if it is the
other way around, but in any case Comunista left his impact on the breed. He had some terrific
performing mares, like Recacha, considered to be one the greats of all time. He also had the
multiple-championed Cebollita and Candela. He had some grand performing sons as well.
Arrocito was one of his better-looking colts, which was considered one of the best competitors
in his day. Filtro was another Comunista offspring that was considered one of the best in the
country. He had significantly more physique than his sire and went on to be a decent sire of
performance horses.
Comunista also contributed another less significant line in siring the horse Oropel. With
no achievements of his own, in reality his only claim to fame was being responsible for
producing a small but well-balanced little bay with a star on the forehead and tons of breed type.
Quebradito was his name, and his corralero ability gained him a spot next to the celebrated
Taco. Quebradito went to stud at Jorge Laserre’s Criadero Trongol, where he was most known
for siring Chilpilco, a horse that reached the finals of the National Championship. Pilpilco was a
full brother that was an equally promising bay colt with an abundance of the breed type that
seems to be well established in this line. Showing a great deal of corralero prowess, Pilpilco
overcame the restrictions imposed by the small stature he inherited from his sire. He not only
proved himself in the rodeo arena, but also in the stud farms of Brazil. After being exported, he
sired sons that competed well in
Brazilian fairs and the coveted
“Freio de Ouro” (Golden Bit).
The greatest impact attributed
to Comunista came as a result of his
introduction to the “grand dam of
Curiche”, Rigurosa. This cross
resulted in three spectacular horses;
the already mentioned Recacha,
Ñipan and Rigor. Ñipan was a 1950

type in spite of his rather small
stature. However, despite all his
physical qualities, what people

everything he did in the rodeo arena was without demand, as he loved his work. He was known
to be a horse of only one solid thrust and most of the time that was enough. The great breeder of
Curiche, Estanislao Anguita held him in very high esteem, but after using him for a time at stud,
he was moved onto the breeding farms of Luis Dominguez, Alberto Schwalm, Ubaldo García
and, finally, to the other premier breeder, Samuel Parot. He was a consistent sire of good
performance horses that were admired for their good looks, as well as a top of the line
broodmare sire.
Rigor, on the other hand, was an unusually large stallion to come about from the
diminutive Comunista. Standing at 145 cm (14.1 hands), he was a muscular and classy dark bay
representative of the breed. He possessed a beautiful triangular head with a lot of width between
the eyes. He had small ears, a thick wavy mane and tail, and a shiny silky hair coat; in essence,
all the characteristics one would desire in a Chilean Horse. After starting a promising campaign
on the rodeo circuit, he suffered an unfortunate fracture of one of his forelegs that terminated his
performance career. As a result, he went to stud at Galo Bustos’ Criadero Muticura, as well as in
Manuel Irarrazabal’s Criadero El Tambo and Enrique Lobo’s Criadero Totoral before ending up
finally in Alberto Schwalm’s La Amanecida.
Rigor’s influence on the breed has been tremendous. He has not only sired performance
horses, but also has to be considered a “sire of sires”. His son Riguroso went directly to stud in
two excellent breeding farms, Mr. Alberto Montt’s Los Fresnos and Agustín Edward’s Santa
Isabel. His success in each of these establishments later led to his exportation to Brazil. Before
being exported, he left his mark as a sire by having produced the popular Santa Isabel stallion
Rio Negro. This lovely, masculine, long-backed black stallion not only placed twice in the top
three spots in the Champion of Chile, but he also won Grand Champion in Halter at five
different fairs.
Rigor also produced the likes
of Guardián I, an unusually longbacked dark chestnut with an
atypical thin straight mane and tail
who has himself created a solid line
of excellent performance horses.
The “sire of sire” potential is also
evident in Ensueño, who before
being sold to the region of
Magallanes on the southernmost tip
of Chile had gotten in foal the dam
of Zapateado for the Criadero
Muticura. Zapateado was not only
a solid performance horse, but has

finals.
The strongest branch of Rigor sons can be found in stylish dark bay colt named Taco. At
138 cm (13.2 hands), he was a significantly smaller horse than his sire. He was also a more
refined horse with a less imposing masculinity. He did maintain the more-refined Rigor head
with small ears and muzzle. He had very nice body angles and but possessed upright pasterns
that probably hampered his performance career. He is well remembered for his beautiful, thick,
wavy tail and exaggerated length of the tuft of mane over the withers. Admirers found him to be
a very good mover that possessed all the standards that are desirable in the breed. Taco was a
solid performer in the rodeos who won many regional championships, but no one would
remember him as one of the best. His assurance in the annals of the Chilean Horse breed is
based on his merits at stud.
A consistent trait in most of his offspring is that they have their sire’s good looks. Among
them are sons like Tañio, who was Grand Champion at the famous agricultural fair FISA, and
Baqueano, Cachazo and El Toqui, all of whom were awarded “Sello de la Raza” at rodeos.
March 2008 edition
403
However, Taco is not all about good looks, as he also had many offspring that were excellent
cow horses. Undoubtedly, the most famous among them is Bellaco. This muscular chestnut with
chrome on all four legs was out of one of the best corralera mares in history, Percala.
Bellaco always took the rodeos he was in to another level, as he was a consistent hardhitter that thrilled the crowds. In a recent study by Vicente and Ignacio Pérez evaluating all
horses ranked in the top 10 between the years 1956 and 2001, the points earned by Bellaco
placed him as the fourth best horse over the 45-year period. In a similar study done two years
ago by Juan Enrique Larraín, where the ranking plus the top three spots in the National
Championship were assigned points of merit, Bellaco placed third of all stallions that competed
between the years 1956 and 1999. However one wants to look at it, he is unarguably considered
one of the great corralero horses of all time.
At stud, Bellaco has
proved as impressively as
in the medialuna. In nine
of the 10 years between
1977 and 1987, he was
ranked in the top 10
stallions of the breed, and

a resounding success at stud as well.
However,
Taco’s
best son may still be in the
making, as one of the offspring from the class of ’91 won his third National Championship in
2007. This homebred of Santa Isabel is one of the new additions to their stallion roster, and with
the caliber of Estribillo mares he is likely to get at that ranch, one could easily speculate that he
will carry the Taco genes to new heights. Even more interesting will be the retained fillies that
are inbred with the Estribillo blood through the use of two excellent sons, Escorpión and
Escándalo. When Talento is put to use on these mares that concentrate the genes of what is in
my opinion one the best sires of the breed, Santa Isabel will surpass the glory days it is presently
experiencing.
Without a doubt, the majority of the strength of the Quebrado (1919) line is coming
through his 1936 son, Guaraní. This
flashy bay stallion with four white
stockings, bred by Darío Pavez, was an
excellent stock horse that won many
championships along with his fellow
competitor, Prestigio. One of the
outstanding traits of this horse was his
personality, as he was extremely gentle.
He was valued for his conformation as
well, as he had a slightly more refined
type than is normal in the breed. He had
plenty of power in his hindquarters and
loins. However, he was a little lighter in
the shoulder and had the distinguishing

necked conformation, as well as a narrower, less triangular shape to the long muzzled, convex
head.
Guaraní’s most outstanding sons have been Estribo and Tequila. The latter was the sire
of the outstanding corralero, Curanto, who for five years was among the top five stallions
ranked in the Chilean rodeo circuit. However, by far the most influential son of Guaraní is a
product of his two-year loan to the Casas de Polpaico, which resulted in Estribo. This dark bay
stallion of the 1955 breeding planned by Gustavo Donoso is considered one of the greats in the
sport of the medialuna. Until he was 19 years old, he competed with a variety of riders and
equine partners. He was twice considered the best stallion in the Chilean rodeo circuit, while
seven times he was in the top six slots of this list. In analyzing the stallions that competed in the
20 years between 1956 and 1976, Estribo was chosen as the best to compete during those two
decades. A subsequent study by Juan Enrique Larraín chose him as the fourth best stallion in the
years between 1956 and 1999. Vicente and Ignacio Pérez’s study, which only took into
consideration the positions in the national ranking, placed him in the top place as the best Chile
has had to offer in last 45 years of rodeo competition.
Estribo was used more heavily in competition than at stud. Still, he sired many
memorable horses, many of which are best remembered for their success in halter competitions.
Perhaps all his best corralero genes were to be passed on to one extraordinary son, Estribillo.
This son of Estribo nearly had the record of his sire in the half-moon arenas, but as a sire of
Chilean corralero horses, he has no comparison with his sire, or, for that matter, about any other
horse.
Gustavo Donoso, the owner of Casas de Polpaico, received the old mare Reserva as a gift
due to the fact that her owner Baltazar Puig had his ranch Las Mercedes taken from him by the
dubious policies of the agrarian reform. The mare had been worked on cattle in her younger
days, and it had been determined that she had little talent in this regard. Fortunately for the mare
and her new owner, she arrived at the home of the great Estribo, who was quickly chosen to be
her mate in the breeding season. On the 3rd of March 1967, at age 20, Reserva foaled a beautiful
“black” colt that was christened Recuerdo. However, soon Mr. Donoso was also persecuted by
the reform policies of those days and he opted to send his better horses to Criadero La
Amanecida, which was owned by his good friend, the excellent breeder Dr. Alberto Schwalm.
Dr. Schwalm not only did his friend a favor, but also eventually purchased the promising threeyear-old colt, whose name he changed to Estribillo.
As a four-year-old, the colt was started in his first rodeo while still being handled in a
leather guatana. The following year, he won four different rodeos with three different equine
partners, including his full sister Huasita. As a six-year-old, he won another four rodeos and
classified for the National Finals. In spite of this being his first showing in the prestigious event,
Estribillo placed third with the great horse Guardián II by his side.
For the following two seasons, Estribillo ran poorly due to some health problems and the
disappointingly poor corralero quality of the good-looking Mandil. Alberto Schwalm had
purchased this horse with the exclusive intent of teaming him up with Estribillo, but it would be
one of his decisions that did not pay off. By the 1977-1978 circuit, he qualified for the National
Finals once again, but this time came up with the national championship alongside Vistazo. In
1978, the same two horses teamed up with their regular riders Alberto Schwalm G. and Luis
Domínguez to take the reserve champion spot in the Champion of Chile. In the 1979-1980
season Enrique Schwalm, the 19-year-old son of the famous breeder was chosen to ride the
great dark horse, this time with Ricardo de la Fuente aboard Vespertino. Incredibly, with his
third equine partner in a National Final, Estribillo once again came away with the
Championship of this, the most important test of a Chilean corralero horse.
Estribillo was a black horse that had a very distinct conformation and exhibited three
white stockings and a large star in the middle of his forehead. His long neck flowed smoothly
into withers that were followed by a characteristic dip in his long back, before ascending into a
strong loin and an extremely long angular hip. There are many descriptions that refer to his “low
loin”, but in fact this is really a product of his slight swayback condition. Like many Chilean
Horses, he was shorter in his forehands. However, one had to admire the length of his tibia and
the angle of his hock, as in this breed the hind leg is often much too straight. His good hind leg
March 2008 edition
405
conformation permitted him to use the additional leverage to his advantage. He had decent
structural conformation on his forelegs, with a less upright angle in his pasterns than is the norm
in the breed. Then again, he did have a slight rotation of the right foreleg that started all the way
in his forearm, and it was common to see this abnormality in his descendants. However, he had
a wonderful shoulder with a nice sloping angle that tied into a powerful chest.
The semi-convex profile of Estribillo’s head worked its way down to a nose that was
longer than usual, and finished with a descending curve into a small muzzle. His short mouth is
the sign of a good rienda horse, and sure enough, in his second year in competition, he proved
his aptitudes by taking a championship in rienda in the fair of La Unión. Estribillo was admired
for having a lot of breed type. His thick and wavy mane and tail were just one of many of the
standards of the breed that he exemplified so well.
As a performer, Estribillo’s riders acclaimed
his lateral speed. Meticulous observers of rodeos,
such as Dr. José Luis Pinochet, have noticed that in
Estribillo offspring the lateral movement deviates
from the typical crossover of the hind legs. Quite
often, you can pick out the descendants of this great
stallion, because they push off both legs at the same
time in a lateral hopping motion that seems to
correlate with more spring and displacement that, in
turn, results in greater speed.
The other trait that has often been touted
about Estribillo’s performance was his ability to
always know where to place himself. When nearing
the pinning cushion, it is often said that he had the
Figure II.277 The one and only Estribillo (1967)
quickness and coordination to be at the right place at
the right time. He was considered a very intelligent horse that liked to be treated with a soft
touch. Spurring, or abusive punishment of any kind, usually resulted in his not performing to the
best of his abilities. As a result, he got somewhat of a reputation for being “temperamental”, but
his erratic behavior can probably be explained by his reaction to rough treatment. The fact is
that, as a sire, his offspring are considered to be anything but temperamental. On the contrary,
huasos love this lineage because they are such fast learners and naturally come by the skills
needed for the sport.
Unfortunately, Estribillo was never comfortable being enclosed, and he often kicked his
stall or truck partition. Eventually, he suffered a lesion in one of his hind legs and had to be
retired from competition. Even having left prematurely, he was classified as the fifth best rodeo
horse in Juan Enrique Larraín’s study between the years 1956 and 1999. The rodeo’s loss was
the breed’s gain because rarely has a breeding stallion had a greater impact on the Chilean
Horse breed.
The Schwalm family had been using Estribillo on their farm, even though in many
respects the horse did not meet the strict demands of Dr. Alberto Schwalm’s breeding program.
There are some who may say that this was due to pressure from friends who assured him he
would be foolish not to use such an extraordinary individual. Yet, when a tempting offer came
his way, the mastermind of La Amanecida never doubted about making the sale.
In hindsight, one might be critical of such a decision, but one must remember that Estribo
was an even better performance horse, and little can be said about his merits at stud. Aside from
Estribillo, few of Estribo’s sons are remembered in the rodeo arena. Estribillo also had
soundness problems during part of his career, and conformationally he was not suited for all
kinds of mares. At any rate, an opportune and enticing transaction was to pass Estribillo into
new hands. The astute breeders Agustín Edwards and Gonzalo Vial had both the foresight and
the good fortune of being the ones to take him home. In time, he would become the exclusive
property of the up-and-coming Criadero Santa Isabel.
To talk about the accomplishments of Estribillo at stud would justify a book of its own.
Since he died in the year 2000, the history of his contribution to the breed is still being written.
However, one fact that has already been defined is that Estribillo had 175 registered products. It
March 2008 edition
406
is an astonishing revelation that one of the greatest studs of all time in the Chilean Horse breed
sired such a limited number of foals in his lifetime. Most proven Thoroughbred stallions sire
more progeny in a couple of years at stud.
To understand this fully, one must realize that the magnitude of the Chilean breed is
substantially different. In the Chilean Horse breed, there are only around 14,000 registered
mares suitable for breeding in any given year. This creates a small genetic pool that is not
convenient to flood with overuse of any particular bloodline. The base number of broodmares is
divided among approximately 5,000 breeders, so the average size of broodmare bands is
minimal. Nothing gives a more accurate perspective of the reproductive circumstances than the
fact that more than 70 percent of the breeders register one horse per year, and less than three
percent register more than five horses per year.
Added to this limitation is the trend that most modern Chilean Horse breeders look down
on the use of inbreeding or line breeding practices. This is an interesting fact, since in the mid
19th century a horse such as the famed Bayo León was often crossed with his daughters, some of
which already had a second dose of Bayo León’s sire Caldeado in their background. Foundation
stallions like Angamos I had a 3S X 2D inbreeding to El Chino Viejo (1862). One of the most
influential family branches in the Gacho line originates from the good cow horse Colibrí.
Precious few people realize that he is the result of crossing his sire Guarapo with a daughter,
but an evaluation of his entire pedigree shows more inbreeding than this. As I have already
stated, Colibrí is 1S X 2D to Guarapo, so this logically makes him 2S X 3 D to the foundation
stallion Gacho. Moreover, he has three fifth-generation crosses on his sire’s side to Codicia.
Lastly, he also has a 3S X 4D inbreeding to Alfil II.
Another early example of the potency that was used by inbreeding can be seen in the
pedigree of Quebrado. The most prominent families in modern Chilean Horse breeding evolve
from two of his sons, Comunista and Guaraní. The dominance of Quebrado may be explained
in part by the fact that his pedigree concentrates much more on the foundation stallion Guante I
than other branches of this origin. Most horses in this line trace back to Guante I through
Guante II and Cristal I, but Quebrado adds two more crosses of the Guante I genes though
maternal contributions that result in a 3S X 4D X 4D inbreeding to the grand old horse himself.
The examples are endless, but the point is that modern taboos about inbreeding are a recent
trend, as in the early days of the Chilean Horse breed, the tool of inbreeding was a common
resource.
Recent studies by Porte,
Mansilla and Pinochet (1999)
determined that the average incidence
of inbreeding in the Chilean Horse
breed between 1893 and 1997 was
only 1.84 percent (+/- 3.97 percent).
The tendency in recent years has been
to use less inbreeding. The latest
period studied, 1993-1997, had an
average incidence of 1.08 percent (+/3.01 percent), as compared to the peak
years of inbreeding use, 1936-1961,
where the average incidence was 2.85
percent (+/- 4.53 percent). So, it is
only in the past four decades that we
have seen a significant decline in the
practice of inbreeding and line
Figure II.278 Esplendor is a grandson of Estribillo that denotes his

grandsire’s genes.
stallions over a wider base of mares.
Ironically, the results of the National Championship would indicate that breeders should
seriously reconsider their opinions on the use of inbreeding. When I worked in the
Thoroughbred industry, I was always amazed at how high a percentage of the horses running
in the multi-million dollar races of the Breeder’s Cup had inbred pedigrees. It was always way
March 2008 edition
407
above the average incidence of inbreeding in the breed. A similar look at the 213 horses listed in
the yearbook of the 2002 National Championship Chilean Rodeo showed that 61 horses had
various levels of inbreeding in their pedigrees. This accounts for 28.6 percent of the horses that
have qualified for the National Finals!! This is an incredible number when one takes into
account the low incidence of inbreeding that exists in the overall population of the Chilean
Horse. Certainly, breeders need to stand up and take notice that a potential for increased
performance is being overlooked. Hopefully, visionary breeders will try and use this tool, not
only with the popular bloodlines, but also as a means of tapping a greater genetic potential from
the foundation families that should be reincorporated into the gene pool of the breed before they
are left totally by the wayside.
Finally, the other factor that limit a better utilization of a stallion of high caliber is that
tradition dictates that each breeding farm have their own stallions, which are promoted through
their exclusive use on the home-based broodmare band. In a study reported in the Year Book of
the Federation of Chilean Horse Breeders in the year 2000, they looked at 33 top stallions that
were no longer rendering stud duties. The 30 with normal reproductive lives averaged 21.43
years in active service, during which time they averaged 128 products per stallion. The stallion
in service with the greatest longevity was used for 30 years, and the stallion with the most
lifetime progeny only had 246 progeny. I also looked at the Vicente and Ignacio Pérez study of
performance stallions that were ranked in the top 10 spots between 1956 and 2001, taking note
of the years in which they list the largest number of progeny. These most famous horses of the
breed only averaged 74 offspring, with a range that varied from 0 to 307 progeny. In spite of the
longevity that is a heritable part of this breed, most stallions are drastically underutilized during
their reproductive careers.
Ninety-one of the products by Estribillo were produced by Criadero Santa Isabel. Dr.
Alberto Schwalm’s La Amanecida bred 45 products. His son Enrique Schwalm bred another
five in his farm, La Tribuna. Gustavo Rey Armijo’s San Daniel and Gonzalo Vial’s Lo Miranda
both bred four products by this great horse. Ubaldo García Vasquez’s El Amanecer, Francisco
Ortúzar’s Curalaba and Alberto Montt’s Los Fresnos all produced two Estribillo progeny each.
Twenty other breeders produced one product each. Estribillo was never listed as a having a stud
fee for outside mares. Most of the breeders that had nothing directly to do with the
horse purchased mares that were in foal
to Estribillo.
Knowing the limited number of progeny that Estribillo had, it is even more amazing to
see the dominance he showed in the medialuna event over the last 15 years. Estribillo has had
seven sons and daughters that have
been crowned Champions of Chile
and these have been responsible for
10 wins in the most prestigious
competition of Chilean Rodeo.
Another six grand-progeny were also
crowned Champion of Chile, and
together they accumulated eight of
these coveted crowns. In addition,
Estribillo progeny have accumulated
10 runner-up titles in the Champion
of Chile, while grand-progeny have
added another two such placings.
Direct descendants have also been
responsible for seven second-runnerup titles, and grand-progeny
obtained another five “shows” in the
Figure II.279 Hugo Cardemil and the 3X winner of the Champion of

Chile, Reservado (1977)
that first and second generation
descendants of Estribillo have placed in the top three positions of the Champion de Chile an
incredible 42 times in the last 15 years. Since there are two horses crowned for each spot, it is
March 2008 edition
408
better put in perspective by stating that 42 out the possible 90 win-place and show titles up for
grabs in the past 15 years have been taken home by horses with the Estribillo genes.
It is uncanny that Estribillo has had such an extraordinary ability to sire good
performance horses. Nothing denotes this more than Juan Enrique Larraín’s study of the best
stallions to compete in rodeos between the years of 1956 and 1999. Estribillo’s son Reservado
was chosen in the number one spot, vindicating the fact that he, too, is one of the all-time
favorites of rodeo fans. This gutsy little stud never said no. So many memorable moments are
recalled when every fan at the National Finals jumped to their feet in celebrating Reservado’s
perseverance of going down on his knees making every effort to pin a falling steer. These are
qualities that are not taught. They come from the heart, and it is doubtful there has been another
corralero with as much of this quality as Reservado.
Reservado was retired from competition at 18
years of age, after having accumulated an
unimaginable record. He participated in 10 National
Champion finals. During five consecutive years, he
was voted the best stallion in competition. He won
three National Championships with two different
equine partners. He placed as the runner up on three
different occasions, each year having been teamed
up with a different horse. If the caliber of his talent
in any given year is not enough to head the list of the
great ones, surely this accumulative record will
assure little debate over his classification.
Reservado was not only a superstar of the
breed, but he was also a horse with a great deal of
Figure II.280 When a steer fell before the pin,

breed type. In the National Championship of 1985,

he was awarded the “Sello de la Raza” that honors
the best representatives of the breed. On the small side, this black stallion had a striking semiconvex head, good leg conformation, strong hindquarters, an abundant tuft of mane, forelock
and tail, a beautiful hair coat and, on top of it all, an unusually docile temperament. It can’t be
denied that he also inherited aspects of Estribillo that would be held against him in the closer
conformational scrutiny of halter expositions, but inside the medialuna, where breed type is
what counts, he undoubtedly displayed the principle qualities that represent the Chilean Horse
breed.
Born in Osorno, at Las Vizcachas, he was purchased by Luis Mayol who later sold him to
Hugo Cardemil. Mr. Cardemil campaigned him through his 12th year and later rode his
teammate, Esquinazo. After retiring from the rodeo circuit, Reservado has stood at stud at Luis
Ivan Muñoz’s Criadero Santo Tomás in Villarica. Already proving a noteworthy stallion, he has
shown that he is capable of getting progeny such as Lacho Anduve and Chacoli to the National
Finals. With his son Reservado II he is showing there are also signs of a growing reputation as a
sire of sires. Nevertheless, the early indications contend that Reservado’s greatest potential
maybe as a broodmare sire.
Estribillo has too many sons and daughters of merit to mention them all, but we cannot
go on without mentioning the following: Esquinazo, twice National Champion and once runnerup; Escorpión, once National Champion, twice runner-up and twice second-runner-up;
Estribillo II, Champion of Chile once and second-runner-up another time; Lechón, Champion
of Chile, first-runner-up and second-runner-up, each time with a different teammate; the great
performance mares Esbelta and Escandalosa, who together won the coveted Champion of Chile
prize; as well as the likes of Aguacero, Estandarte and Escabullido, all of whom were ranked
in the top 10 corralero stallions.
One of the unfinished parts of Estribillo’s unfolding history is his justification for being
classified as a “sire of sires”. He will certainly get the opportunity, as numerous sons of his have
gone to stud. Already, horses like Esperando (sire of the two-time National Champions
Canteado and Pretal as well as record scoring National Champion Estruendo), Esquinazo (sire
of the National Champion of Chile, Campo Bueno II), Reservado, Rico Tipo, Escorpión (sire

of National Champions Batuco and Almendra) and Escándalo are Showing that Estribillo
has great promise In this area. Esperando, in particular, is representative of the versatility
that is seen in the Estribillo line. A sire of National Champions in the Chilean Rodeo, National
Champions in rienda, Championships in the multi-event Horse Trial Competition (“Pruebas
Ecuestres”), Grand Champions at Halter Expositions and winners of the “Sello de la Raza”,
there is little this wonderful stallion has left to prove, except to sire sons who will do more of
the same. He is already working on this, as a good portion of Italo Zunino’s broodmare band at
the Criadero Agua de los Campos is now the proving grounds for Canteado, Pretal, Albertio,
Estrendo, Bernardito and Guindao.

Africano
This more refined representative of the Chilean Horse breed is a son of Zángano (1890),
the great-grandson of Traidor (1860). This line has good performers with a more significant
dose of size and color. One branch of Africano not only keeps alive the overo horse genes in the
breed, but through another offshoot there is also a higher proportion of grays than is typical for
the breed. Africano got one of the best opportunities at stud of any of the foundation sires, as he
was conceded the best mares of Mr. Correa Valenzuela’s El Principal Farm as well as those of
the famed Hacienda Aculeo. With these privileged broodmare bands, Africano got a whole
cluster of good-looking horses.
That he should get athletic individuals is reasonable, as Africano had some rather unique
qualities for the breed. Unlike some coarser representatives, Africano had a long neck with a
nice neck-to-shoulder union. His medium-length back tied in nicely with a strong loin, which in
turn gave rise to an unusually long and well-sloped hip. He did not have excessively strong
hindquarters, but in comparison to his narrow girth and short-coupled shoulder, he was blessed
March 2008 edition
410
with a lot of locomotive power on a light frame. He had a good hind leg conformation, but it is
said he was offset in his knees. Photos of the horse definitely show that he also possessed
strangled tendons, an unusual fault in this breed. His 145 cm (14.1 hands) height is above
average for modern standards of the breed, but closer to the ideal in his time. Legs with good
bone supported his properly angled body structure. His head offered the slightly convex profile
that Chileans find attractive, but was a little narrower in depth. His mane and tail did not show
the typical thickness and abundance that is found in most Chilean Horses and his black hair
coat was also of a more refined nature.
As in all good sires, Africano seemed to out-produce himself at stud. His good-looking
dark bay son Caruso (1912) not only won halter competitions, but also sired many beautifully
conformed horses such as Carén. This was truly one of the most attractive horses of his day,
and nothing attests to that more than César Rozas buying him for his Sexta de Longaví farm.
Carén was a more balanced and powerful horse than his sire, and he also proved to be a good
performance horse in both rienda and medialuna competitions. He was used intensively and
produced a long line of beautifully conformed horses that also acquired their sire’s performance
ability. Many halter champions and memorable corraleros came from his son Chacal, but none
is more remembered than the great mare Berlina that was runner up in the Champion and gave
rise to the family of Zapateado, Esperado and many other good ones.
It is interesting to note that the dam of Cristal I, the foundation sire of the Guante I line,
was also bred to Africano. This cross resulted in the long and tall stallion called Bureo. He was
used heavily in Hacienda Aculeo and is best remembered for his son Jarabe that gave rise to
many halter and performance horses. However, it is his granddaughter Picantita and grandson
Latocito that brought him into the real limelight when they respectively won the Champion of
Chile in 1953 and 1956.
Cambucho was another good son of
Africano
that
Alberto
Schwalm
campaigned, as well as incorporated into
his breeding program at La Amanecida.
Cambucho’s son Peso Fuerte forms an
interesting tie to Estribillo. His daughter
Cobradora was not only a halter winner
and an excellent cow horse, but she was
also the dam of the supposedly untalented
performer Reserva, who later gave birth to
the great Estribillo. However, by far the
best siring son of Cambucho was
Mirquen. This dark bay stallion sired a lot
of real performers, especially in southern
Figure II.282 Terciopelo comes from the valued Africano
Chile. His son Alquitrán is recalled as
branch that produced Mirquen
one of the greatest of all time. His son
Cervecero was crowned Champion of Chile in 1956. Another Mirquen son, Rumbo, sired
Galponero, who was runner-up in the Champion of Chile, but he made up for this near miss by
siring Terciopelo, who in some polls ranked first in the performance stallion ranking, while
being runner up in the Champion of 1994. Dr. José Luis Pinochet’s analysis of the sires of
horses that reach the Champion of Chile places Mirquen as the leader with the highest percent
of offspring that have made it to the national championship.
One of the interesting branches of the Africano line is Alcatraz. This horse that is
officially registered as grulla in color was, in fact, an overo. He had a big spot all over his right
rib cage and an equally notable spot on his left underside. He also had three stockings, including
a right fore that was white well past the knee. His dam was a Díaz de Valdez mare that was also
an overo, and she was known to be one of the better-looking mares of her day. Alcatraz was a
nicely balanced horse with a longer, more refined neck than most in the breed. He had a more
cylindrical barrel and was not particularly strong in the hindquarters. Although above average in
height, he only weighed 400 kg (880 pounds). He was structurally well-made and hard to fault
in that department. He also had a straighter, silkier tail than is representative for the breed. His
March 2008 edition
411
type was considered decent in his day, but his refinement would be more suspect today. In any
case, his conformation took back seat to his ability, as he was an extraordinary rienda horse and
a real cow horse that was considered one of the good ones of his era. He went to stud at the
excellent farm Curiche, property of Estanislao Anguita in Los Angeles, Chile.
Following the curious reappearance of the paint gene in the Africano line it’s worth
mentioning Flotador, the “medicine hat” overo son of Alcatraz. Conformation-wise, Flotador
was not a very balanced horse, as he was strong on his forequarters, but rather weak behind.
Still, he had an uncanny ability as a rienda horse and was also an excellent corralero. He won
many Champions in his campaign. In the evaluation of rodeo performers made by Raúl Pavez
between the years 1940 and 1955, Flotador was chosen second-best over the 15-year period of
competition assessed. He had a following wherever he went. His unique color had public
appeal, as did the fact that he excelled in both rienda and medialuna performances. He was a
solid sire of performance horses and especially had many good mares, of which I should
mention Aguina, runner-up in the Champion of Chile of 1956 and Ocurrencia, second runnerup in the Champion of Chile of the same year. His daughter Rodada is the granddam of the
good contemporary horse, Rico Raco.
Flotador also sired another good spotted horse in Imperio, a product of Criadero Curiche.
This slightly sickle-hocked horse with more strength in the hindquarters than his sire, had a
strange spotted pattern over a grulla color base. There is no mention of his performance ability,
but as a sire in Criadero Agua de Los Campos, he has put out a lot of good performing horses
and some halter winners as well. Picunto is yet another son of Flotador that sired the good
overo rienda horse, Floreado. The good-looking Enlitrado is another of the many overos that
had descended from this line.
Flotador is probably best known for being the sire of the courageous horse Reparo. In
spite of competing with a broken rib, Reparo won the 1964 Champion of Chile. That same year
he was also ranked the best performing stallion and on four other occasions he was also
nominated to the coveted top 10 ranking. Don Raúl Pavez’s evaluation of the 20-year period
from 1956-1976, placed Reparo in fourth position. As a sire, he has had the notable son
Rosquero, the sire of Talamero, Guaranito and Buen Trago. However, his claim to fame
comes from his outstanding daughter Agora Qué, a Champion of Chile in 1979 and runner-up
with a different equine partner in 1981.
The other Flotador son that merits mention
is a red dun, Salteador. This is a solid
performance line if ever there was one. A good,
but not spectacular corralero, Salteador won
regional championships. However, for not having
a brilliant career in the rodeos, he certainly outdid
himself at stud. He sired the likes of Trampero
(twice Champion of Chile in 1968 and 1973)
Salteador II (sire of Champions of Chile
Salteador III and Malagueña), Chamanto
(grandsire of 1992 Champion of Chile
Esparramo), Tabacón (best corralero in Chile
for several seasons, including Champion of
Figure II.282
Chile in 1973), Estanquero (the sire of Cachupin,

times in the top 10 ranking of corralero stallions),
Sandunguero (sire of Acampanadita, dam of multiple halter champions) and Farolero (sire of
good stud Níspero). As a note of interest, I should mention Campesino, a great-grandson of
Salteador, and thus five generations removed from the overo horse Alcatraz. This wide blazedfaced grulla has a medium-sized white spot on his right underside and a high stocking on the
right foreleg, very similar to the description we gave of Alcatraz himself!!
The Alcatraz branch also gave rise to Regador. By being a full brother to both Alcatraz
II and Ronquera (the dam of Roncador), one has to recognize how much the great mare
Reñaca contributed to fortifying this Alcatraz branch of the Africano line. As if that were not
March 2008 edition
412
enough, Reñaca also produced Rigurosa (the dam of Ñipán, a good-looking stallion that is
considered one of the best maternal grandsires), Rigor (one of the most influential sires of all
time) and Recacha (the dam of Gustoso, Rosquero and Guanaquero).
Regador was a talented corralero, and in the evaluation of the years 1945-1965 Don Raúl
Pavez chose him as the third-best performance horse. He was a good sire, producing Batelero,
Barbecho, and perhaps his best performer Chamico, who was first and second runner-up in the
National Finals. Batelero has not only been ranked in the top 10 performance stallions in two
different years, but also has sired Morocho, the good corralero from area of Talca. Morocho
sired the good horse Araucano, but his promise seems to be in his strength as a broodmare sire.
His daughters Victoria and Tristeza produced the Champions of Chile, Estribillo II and El
Lechón, respectively. Morocho daughters have nicked particularly well with Estribillo, and
thus mares like Hilacha, Tristeza, Venganza and Victoria became an integral part of his
breeding program. The strength of the privileged combination of bloodlines in Regador’s
pedigree is still being seen after many generations. His great-grandson Auquincano was
Champion of Chile in 1984 and first runner-up
the following year.
Acampao is another Alcatraz branch
stallion that has left his mark on the breed. His
notable sons are Acampao II, Hurtero, Acero,
Taracampao, Clarín, Aseado, Mulatito and
Maniatado. But when he was bred with the
Champion of Chile mare Carranza, he
produced his best son, the leggy dun horse
with the same silhouette of Alcatraz, named
Pajar. This talented stallion belonged to
Criadero Agua de los Campos in Los Angeles,
and, in 1996, he made the top 10 ranking of
performance stallions. His potential as a sire
seems clear now that he has produced the
National Finals horse Navegao, as well as the
Figure II.284 For three consecutive years Melí (1996)
was voted Best Breed Type at the National Championship
good horses Peine and Chamanto.
and in 2007 he was runner up for the performance title.
Another Alcatraz horse was Burlón, a
good and attractive rienda horse that measured 1.43 m (14 hands). His claim to fame was having
sired Chicharrón, a dark palomino with strong make up that was out of an excellent corralera
mare that was considered too tall. This large and heavy horse was a solid corralero like his dam,
but more importantly, the Andrajo branch of the Africano line came about through him.
Andrajo was a fairly tall (144 cm or 14 hands) and very muscular gray horse with an
exuberant tail and tuft of mane. His dam Zancadilla was a superb corralera, with an admirably
strong physique and tremendous breed type. Andrajo was talented enough to win some
Champions in his brief early career, before fracturing a hock. However, his merit to the breed
lies in his dominance as a sire.
Andrajo has a long list of solid performance horses such as Andrajo II, Arriero, Quita
Pena, Atento, Contagioso and the good corralera mares Andrajosa, Bocona, Marsellesa and
Quisca. Sons like Andrajo II, Arriero, Brillazón, Punto y Coma, Lanco (who sired Placer, a
Champion of Chile) and Topón (who sired Taponazo, a Champion of Chile) showed that
Andrajo’s lineage was sure to propagate itself further. However, by far, his best sons at stud
were Roncador and Ajiaco.
Ajiaco, a roan with the graying gene of his sire, was a strong pinner of steers that won
many regional championships. In keeping with his sire, he was a very muscular horse with very
good structural conformation, a beautiful dense tail but more of a Roman nose profile. He has
sired good performers himself, as his chestnut son Relincho was considered the best
performance stallion in Chile in 1987. Interestingly, Relincho has a 2S X 3D inbreeding to
Andrajo. Harapo, another son that is a smaller version of his sire, was also a well-recognized
star in the rodeos.
March 2008 edition
413
Roncador is another interesting example of the little-used practice of inbreeding in the
modern Chilean Horse. This son of Andrajo is out of an Alcatraz mare, making him 4S X 2D
inbreeding to the spotted son of Africano. This dark dun stallion that stood 1.42 m (14 hands)
had the thickness, breed type and good structural conformation that was typical of the Andrajo
blood. His dam Ronquera was a full sister to the good stallions Alcatraz II and Regador. The
increased homozygosity of his genes undoubtedly helped him excel at stud, where he produced
the good horses Halcón (third runner-up at the National Finals in 1980), Huilque, Roto Choro,
Ronquido, Ronco, Puelche and Mercader.
Perhaps where Roncador has
been valued even more was in his
ability to put out high-producing
daughters. Although he performed for
Criadero Peleco and later was passed
over to Criadero Puquereo, eventually
he landed in Leonardo García’s
Criadero El Ideal. There, he produced
the great mares Camarera, Lavanda,
Relinda, Roñosa, Ricura and
Sembradora. Proof of his merit as a
broodmare sire is the fact that the
Criadero Santa Isabel took notice of
the horse and used him to produce
Bandurria,Cascada, Patrulla, Ronda,
Figure II.285
Ronquera II, and Ronquita, among
Roncador (1956) is one of the great broodmare sires of the breed
many others.
Gacho
The only gray horse of the eight foundation sires, Gacho was a good-sized horse that
stood 144 cm (14+ hands). He was a powerful individual with a cylindrical barrel with a
conservative girth that measured 170 cm (almost 67 in.). Gacho had a beautiful top line that
started with a sculptured neck that worked its way into well-defined withers, followed by a short
back that tied into an incredibly strong loin and ended in a powerful, rounded rump. His
strength was also evident in a prominent, strong chest. His narrow girth gave him a leggier
appearance, but, in fact, he had a long forearm and tibia that gave rise to short cannon bones that
were made up of good, strong bone and big joints. His very masculine head had a straight
profile with well-defined jowls that gave rise to a nice, but slightly heavy, triangular shape to
the head. Additionally, he had a strong dose of “cow savvy” and was famed for being an
excellent cowhorse.
There is much about Gacho’s phenotype that hints to
a trace of Percheron ancestry. We can be certain that for at
least four generations this was not the case in his paternal
lineage. His registry clearly traces back to Petizo (1890),
El Guanaco (1870), Bayo Grande (1865) and Burro
(1860). Still, the possibility for a Percheron influence
exists, since Percherons were imported to Chile in the
middle of the 19th century and it would be 43 years before
the formal Chilean Horse registry was created.
Speculation is futile at this point, but certainly some draft
blood is not incompatible with good stock horses, as the
Old Fred line of the Quarter Horse breed can attest to.
Gacho stood at stud in Tobías Labbe’s Criadero Las

no doubt he is responsible for some significant sire
lines, but by being the broodmare sire of the great mare Reñaca, Gacho will be forever be tied
March 2008 edition
414
to the foundation lines of Guante I and Africano. Through the common genes he shares with
Rigor, Alcatraz II, Regador and Roncador, Gacho has obtained entry into the pedigrees of
Chilean Horses through a variety of potent stallions in three different branch lines.
As a sire, Gacho had some
good performance horses, but many
had limited success at stud. His son
Retintin, a light grulla with a bald
face and white stocking, was
considered Gacho’s best performance
horse. He was one of the best
cowhorses in his day and won many
regional champions. Perhaps Retintin
is more important as being the sire of
Tabacazo, the ninth-best horse in the
Raúl Pavez evaluation of the year
1956-1976. Tabacazo, in turn, sired
Figure II.287 National Champion Atinada (1976) pins the steer

National Champion Mare Atinada.
Pitable was another of Gacho’s sons that showed limited success as a sire. His son
Jornalero was runner-up in the 1962 Champion, and he was ranked in the top 10 in five
different years, occupying the top slot in 1964. Pitable also sired Cardal, who was not only a
good halter and rienda horse, but also sired Equivoco, the sire of the 1952 Champion of Chile,
Jovencita. This bloodline continues to pop up in the National Championships, as Pitable’s
greatgrandson Barbeta was runner-up in the Champion of Chile and twice ranked the highest
for performance stallions in 1983 and 1985. Barbeta siring Tranquerita has provided some
assurance that there is more to come. This nimble mare was second-runner-up Champion mare
in 1986.
Pichón is another of Gacho’s sons that has put out some decent performance horses.
Collar was respected as both a corralero and a rienda horse. Pichón’s son Atájalo was a striking
specimen with a lot of breed type that was a regional rienda champion in 1952. He, in turn, sired
Polvadera, who ranked in the top 10 of Chilean Rodeo in three different years.
Tundere, by Gacho, inherited much of his sire’s drafty coarseness. He is not mentioned
as a result of his own performance laurels, but was assured a spot in the history books for his
siring of Mandil. This stallion had the looks to win “Sello de la Raza” in the Champion of
Talca, and was also known as a solid cowhorse.
As can be seen, the strength of the Gacho line is limited to a trickling of sporadic success
rather than solid branches that fortify Gacho’s influence with each new generation. If there is
hope for things to change, it will be through the Colibrí branch, since this is, by far, the
strongest sector of the Gacho lineage.
Colibrí was by Gacho’s son Guarapo, a regional Halter Champion. Although Guarapo
produced some decent cowhorses, his main contribution will always be the fact that he is the
sire of the talented chestnut Colibrí. His owner, Ángel Caballero, showed this blaze-faced, longbacked horse with the sickle hocks of a good cowhorse. Although he proved a capable corralero,
Colibrí outdid himself as a stallion when standing at Criadero Colin. The unusual dominance in
a foundation line that has not shown a great deal of influence in the breed may be explained by
the fact that Colibrí was a product of a 1S X 2D inbreeding. Colibrí’s dam Nación was a
daughter of his sire Guarapo. The concentration of genes undoubtedly proved beneficial in
performing his duty at stud. In spite of being on a farm with a small number of mares, he gave
rise to the most important branch of the Gacho line.
In the Nationals held in Talca in 1968, there was a team of horses that were both sired by
Colibrí. Today, both of these horses, Jalea Real and Nunca en Domingo, are well known in
breeding circles. Jalea Real sired the good horses Luchín, Amancay and Jaloneo, as well the
mares Jacinta and Nunca Jamás. Luchín has shown siring ability, as he has had Manolo,
Bandolero and Recuerdo, all horses that have made the top 10 in the ranking of performance
stallions. Before his untimely death, Manolo was proving an excellent sire of corraleros, and
March 2008 edition
415
hopefully another Luchín son, Lucero, will continue to do the same as he won the Champion of
Chile in 2003 and proved his merits in the medialuna of Rancagua.
Nunca en Domingo has also gone
on to become the most powerful
representative of the Gacho line, and
offers breeders an interesting outcross
from the widely used Guante I line. In
1987, he was considered the second-best
stud in Chile, based on the number of
progeny he had participating in the
Nationals. He has sired horses like
Afuerino (second-runner-up in the
Champion of Chile), Borra (finalist in the
National Finals), Borracho en Domingo,
Chamaco (fourth best corralero in 1978)

Piluche en Domingo, Presidente en Domingo, Qué Te Importa a Vos, Ratero en Domingo
and Qué Más Da en Domingo.
There is good reason to think that Nunca en Domingo will, at some point, be named a
“chef de race” of the breed. This branch of the Gacho line is fast being associated with the
ability to put out good performance horses. Already, Director en Domingo is the sire of
Champion of Chile Consejero. Likewise, Nunca en Domingo’s son Borracho en Domingo
sired the well-known Champion of Chile Rico Raco. Twice, Rico Raco was voted the secondbest performance stallion in the country. Borracho en Domingo is also the sire of Dedal de
Oro, a good stallion that was second- runner-up in the Champion of Chile in 1993. Ratero en
Domingo has sired Relámpago (best performance stallion in 1991), Tío Chivo (second in top
10 ranking), Ramalazo (top 10 ranking and national finalist) Cabo de Hornos (top 10 ranking),
and Rotoso (national finalist). Qué Más Da en Domingo is another Nunca en Domingo son
that has sired a top 10 ranking mare, Esperanza. Tomaito, a grandson of Nunca en Domingo,
has sired the great cowhorse Lolero, a five-time top 10 ranker and first in that classification in
1996.
Although the Nunca en Domingo branch is mostly recognized as a strong performance
line, most of the individuals therein are recognized as corraleros with a lot of breed type,
although they have an underlying reputation as being very strong of character and harder than
normal to train.
There are a couple of horses that have distinguished themselves for their conformational
attributes to the breed. Ratero en Domingo is out of the tremendous mare Galopera, and he
often got individuals that had their sire’s good looks. His daughter Codiciada was Champion
Mare at Expo FISA in 1980. Escombro, a son of Ratero en Domingo, is another stallion that
got very good-looking offspring. His son Ballenero was voted Best of Breed in Expocar 1996.
His daughter Campana was Champion Filly at the Expo Carabineros.
The youngest branch of Colibrí stems from Siempre Domingo. Although not a very
prolific line of quality horses it is responsible for the back- to- back Champion of Chile,
Papayero. This imposing horse left numerous progeny in Chile before being sold to Brazil as a
result he offers yet another alternative to linebreed to the influential Colibrí.
In summary, the Gacho line is one that, until recent years, has probably had a diminishing
contribution in the breed. Its presence in a lot of pedigrees is more assured by the maternal ties
it has had in the Guante I and Africano line. To date, it has 119 important representatives of
the breed and five (4.2 percent of representatives) Champions of Chile. Sixty percent of these
have come from the Nunca en Domindo branch. Unfortunately, this is the only real strength
March 2008 edition
416
that is left for the Gacho line to continue
having an impact on the breed. As a
general rule, this line puts out horses
with a lot of substance that are well
conformed and possess a lot of breed
type, but not quite the caliber to be halter
champions. There is little doubt that this
is more of a performance line and most
of the elite performance genes are found
in the Colibrí branch.
Figure II.289
Two representatives of the Gacho line, Rico Raco
(1977) and Papayero (1978), won back- to- back
Champions of Chile.
Chamal
The founder of this Chamal line is horse with a very distinct phenotype. Two of
Chamal’s qualities that are still seen in his descendants many generations down are extremely
thick and wavy tails and tufts, and smaller, semi-convex heads. His conformation was
appreciated in his day, as he was a halter winner in many of the shows he participated in. It
seems the attributes of good looks have passed down consistently in this line that is full of
Champion halter horses, but less endowed with high caliber corraleros than other foundation
lines.
At 1.44 m (14.1 hands) of height and with a
thick build all the way around, Chamal definitely
must have been on the high end of the range of
corporal weight for the breed. Although he had a lot
of mass, he was not very tightly wound in muscle
definition. His low neck-to-shoulder union is a very
typical characteristic in much of the Chilean Horse
breed.
His cresty neck was thick throughout. It tied
in low onto the chest and was rather thick in the
Figure II.290 The great broodmare sire Gañancito

noteworthy in the Chamal line.
makeup of a Chilean Horse, the top line of his neck
did flow in smoothly over his withers. On this rather
coarse structure, he had a head that was more refined than is normal in the breed. His shorter
nose and small muzzle are distinctive of the Chamal line. He had very good bone, good
structural conformation, and more feather on his fetlocks than is typical in the Chilean Horse. It
is said that his temperament was very laid back, or almost a bit dull, and this may hint to a
slightly different origin.
I doubt there is a foundation sire that carries more possibility of the Castellano/Aragón
blood than Chamal. In fact, if one assumes that these are the genes capitalized on by the
Peruvians in creating the Peruvian Paso breed, one can even see a certain similarity between
Chamal and this breed.
By far, the greatest influence from this line traces back to Gañancito. This stallion has
much of his sire’s type, in spite of being out of a granddaughter of Cristal I. Like his sire,
Gañancito was an excellent halter horse. Evidently, he was also a good corralero. He had much
of the needed courage to pin hard, but his enthusiasm also overrode his responsiveness to the
bit. Ironically, having produced many good horses such as Aleteo, Cantiflas, Corral, Jaquimon
March 2008 edition
417
and the beautiful Chamolí, it was one of his smaller sons, Lircay that did the most to pass on the
Gañancito genes.
Lircay’s dam is by Espejo, another son of Cristal I, showing more evidence for an
apparent nick between the Chamal and Guante I lines. This 4S X 3D inbreeding to Cristal I
can be seen in a more cylindrical barrel than is typical of the Chamal lineage. However, Lircay
maintained the seal of his grandsire’s beautiful head and thick mane and tuft. Although he had a
weaker loin and hindquarters than either the Chamal or Guante I line, he did possess the
smooth muscling that is typical of Chamal descendants. His conformation was appreciated
enough that he was a Grand Champion Halter Horse at Temuco in 1948. He also passed on his
appealing looks, as his son Falucho was Halter Champion in that same city.
In spite of the fact that little is
mentioned about his performing
abilities, it is Lircay that has done the
most to promote the corralero ability
in the Chamal line. The questionable
ability of his sons to breed on and the
many examples of good female
families would tend to indicate that
Lircay is more of a filly and
broodmare sire. Interestingly, two of
his daughters teamed up with a mare
called Aceitada in different years and
came away with a Champion of Chile
title. Pluma did it in 1961, and Flecha
did it five years later in 1966. A Lircay
son named Bribon followed in his

remembered as the sire of an
outstanding corralero filly, Indiana that ranked in the top 10. By later producing Indiana II, she
also proved her worth as a broodmare. Similar merits are seen in other Bribon daughters such as
the excellent broodmare Iberia, who foaled Escondido, and Espiga, the dam of Mordisco.
Cantinfla is by Gañancito, and his looks are definitely a throwback to his grandsire. His
balanced, homogenously thick, smooth-muscled conformation gives him an uncanny similarity
to Chamal. Like his sire and grandsire, he was a Champion halter horse. He was also a
Champion rienda horse. At stud in the Criadero Idahue, Cantinfla produced another great halter
horse in Junco that consistently won halter championships in the three years that he competed.
More evidence of the merits of breed type is evident in the fact that a son of Cantinfla was
chosen as a gift for the president of Brazil. Reinforcing the broodmare sire status of the
Gañancito line, Cantinfla produced Harapienta, who is the dam of the good corraleros Hapapo
and Ajiaco.
Regardless of the tendency of bloodlines, occasionally you can get a gene combination
that clicks, and suddenly an atypically outstanding individual can appear as a performance
phenomenon, or dominant sire, or both. Such must be the case of El Huila. Not much can be
said of his sire Parcelero, other than the fact he was a decent cowhorse. His grandsire Aleteo, in
keeping with the tendency of this branch of the Chamal line, was renowned as a tremendous
broodmare sire. We have already mentioned that most of the merits of his great-grandsire
Gañancito were in the ambit of halter competition. Yet, El Huila is considered one of the
greatest corraleros of all time!
In keeping with horses like Flotador, Estribo, Reservado and Bellaco, Huila was
one of those unique horses with the charisma to be a crowd favorite. This black horse that stood
1.41 m (13.3 hands) had it all. He was full of breed type, had a wonderful disposition, was as
fast as they come in the medialuna and he possessed an incredible desire to pin… and pin hard.
This exuberant energy in pinning is what won the loyalty of his fans. For seven years, El Huila
was in the top 10 ranking of performance stallions. Incredibly, five of those years he topped the
list. About the only thing El Huila did not accomplish was to win a Champion of Chile. The
March 2008 edition
418
closest he came was a second-runner-up in 1970. He even had the great horse Zapateado as a
teammate during part of his career, but the coveted prize of Champion of Chile evaded him until
the end. Unlike many top horses, El Huila did not have an elite rider aboard, and many people
felt he performed in spite of his rider rather than because of him. Regardless of how true this
may be, there is no denying that the many subtle differences between winning and coming up
short would surely have benefited from a rider whose talents were more respected.
As a sire, El Huila has shown that he can pass along his class. His son El Huilino has
reached the top 10 ranking on two occasions. Tranco
Largo is another son that has also been rated in the
top 10. His son Ñachi was good enough to qualify
for the Champion of Chile, but was retired early to a
stud career in the Criadero El Trapiche in Los
Angeles. This is another example of a Chamal line
horse that nicked well with the Guante I line, as his
dam Ña Josefa is a daughter of Guardián. El
Tordo has also qualified for the Champion of Chile,
although he has not been particularly competitive
against the best. As is often the case with
extraordinary performers, many people feel that El

corraleros ever.
had for him at stud. In being realistic about his
pedigree, one would have to say he has done quite a bit for a Chamal line horse and perhaps the
expectations for him should be in his value as a broodmare sire.
The Chamal line will always contribute strongly desired breed characteristics: the neat;
short semi-convex head; low neck to head union; incredibly thick forelock, tuft and tail; deep
girth and body mass; good overall balance and sound structural conformation. It is crucial to
realize how much importance good conformation has in the utility of a breed. The Chamal line
may not be as gifted as other sire lines in the variety of dominant performance sires it produces.
Having said that, I feel that there is promise in the genes of El Huila that mysteriously came
together to offer one of the best corralero horses of all times. We are still in time to concentrate
these genes through intelligent inbreeding, and any horse that proves to be a good performer
should be a prime candidate for producing fillies that should do wonders in broodmare bands
used on Guante I sire lines.
There will always be a justification for incorporating Chamal blood into the Chilean
Horse gene pool. The Chamal blood will assure the good foundation of solid physical attributes
upon which performance ability should be built. However, as important as this contribution is to
the breed, oftentimes broodmare sire lines are not planned as carefully or promoted as
aggressively as they should be, since, for the most part, they are less commercial. Progressive
breeders who are looking for long-term success would do well to take heed of this type of
consideration in their broodmare bands.
Halcón II
Pedro de la Cuevas was one of the old breeders of the Chilean Horse from the 19th
century. Horses such as Caldeado (1835), El Halcón I (1854) and Bayo León (1858) all
founded a line of horses that are to this day referred to as “Cuevano” horses, because they
originated from that famous breeding farm. The next foundation sire line I would like to refer to
-- the Halcón II line -- is based on one such “Cuevano” horse. The grandsire Halcón I (1854)
was bred and owned by Don Pedro de la Cuevas and the sire Rabicano (1870) and Halcón II
himself are credited to his relative Miguel Cuevas.
Not much is written about Halcón II, but luckily there are old faded photographs of this
grand horse. He was obviously drastically underweight when he was photographed, but it still
serves to give us an idea of his conformation. If we assume that some Barb blood made its way
to the Americas through the importation of horses with the influence of the Spanish Barb or the
Berber horses themselves that crossed the Strait of Gibraltar with the Moorish invasion of the
March 2008 edition
419
Iberian Peninsula, then some horses with Halcón II’s conformation must have made up the
origins of the equine in the Americas.
Halcón II had a distinct type of conformation as compared to other foundation sires. This
dark dun horse was of a leggier stature, with a narrow girth and cylindrical barrel. He possessed
a weak loin, a short sloping croup and a low tail set. His head was narrower in width, clearly
convex in profile, with a longer nose that terminates in a medium-sized muzzle with wellincrusted nostrils. His neck was thin. He had a higher neck-to-shoulder union than is typical in
the Chilean Horse breed and, as a result, a higher head carriage. His tail was thick, but not as
abundant as some of the other foundation lines. Structurally, his profile was sound. His shoulder
and pasterns were slightly upright and his lack of muscle definition would indicate a horse with
a great deal of stamina. For all practical purposes, we could be describing the type of horse that
has dominated the Barbary Coast throughout recorded history.
It seems clear that Halcón II brought in some refinement into the Chilean Horse breed
of the 19th century. The result was felt in his strong influence in putting out good halter and
rienda horses, which were probably of a more energetic nature. His most productive sons were
Recuerdo and Retinto, however the Retinto branch propagated itself more.
This black 1911 model was a much-improved version of his
sire. He had a shorter and thicker neck that carried a shorter, more
attractive, less convex head. Retinto was a much more muscular
horse than his sire, but maintained the overall balance of structural
components that his sire displayed so well. His eye appeal was
made official when he won the first prize for saddle horses in the
Santiago Fair of 1916.
Retinto had the ability to produce extraordinary fillies.
Many of his daughters were the foundation for the Criadero Las
Camelias of Darío Pavez, Criadero Sexta de Longavi of César
Rozas and Criadero Curiche of Estanislao Anguita. Mares such as
Las Tablas, (who was a superb corralera), La Zurzula (who was

farms famous.
cowhorses), Huacha II (don César Rozas’s famous Champion
rienda mare), Oscura, Plateada, and many others.
As is often the case with sires of good broodmares, Retinto did not produce dominating
sons to carry on his line. Ernesto Cuevas was the breeder of the dun horse Milagro, who was a
modest stallion mainly remembered for siring the great rienda mare Lorna. However, his most
significant contribution was having the dappled dun son Cacareo.
Cacareo was more of a throwback to his
great-grandfather Halcón II, in that he was much
less muscled, more cylindrical of barrel, and weaker
in the loin than Retinto. Still, he had a lot of
presence, with a beautiful neck and an incredibly
attractive head. Perhaps Cacareo should have been
the origin of truly good cowhorse genes in the
Halcón II line. Yet, as a sire, he had a much greater
tendency to put out competitive halter horses, almost
all of which possessed his characteristically
beautiful head. The exception was Cascarón, who
certainly inherited some of his sire’s “cow savvy”
and ability. However, this credit must be shared with
Figure II.294 Cacareo (1930) was a sire of many

brother to the dam of Quebrado. Once again, it
shows how much these lines that are stronger in conformation can benefit from crossing over to
the proven performance sectors of the breed.
When enough generations elapse in the continual search for better performance animals,
the tendency of a line can slowly be changed somewhat. Llavero is one such example in the
Halcón II line. This bay stallion is eight generations removed from Halcón II. Yet, Llavero
March 2008 edition
420
showed he was a good corralero. He reached the fourth steer in the national finals in three
different years. He was also thrice voted into the top 10 for performance stallions. Even so, we
can’t get away from the tendency of siring fillies. Llavero has had only one son of real merit,
Tío Pedro. On the other hand, he sired Clave, who was not only a great corralera, but also a
broodmare who is remembered for producing Rotita. Llavero also sired the good producer
Laucha, who is the dam of Regalona, and Fonda, the dam of Rotoso II.
Guillermo Cuevas is responsible for the only other branch of the Halcón II line. He is
the breeder of the dark dun horse Recuerdo (1915). He was known for being the sire of the
Champion rienda mare, Vanidad. However, Recuerdo’s best stock horse was a stallion. This
son Bombito was a good corralero horse that had more breed type than his grandsire, but
maintained his narrow head width, his weaker loin and his less than ideal muscle definition.
Bombito was a dark bay stallion that stood at stud at Carlos Prado’s Criadero Chancón. His
most memorable accomplishment at stud was having sired the famous mare Secretaria that
teamed up with Arrocito to win many rodeo championships. The females definitely seem to
dominate the scene in the Halcón II line.
In the end, the screening process of what breeds on in the Chilean Horse seems to always
get back to how much ability can be shown in the medialuna. The lines that are lacking in
results are doomed to die out if serious efforts aren’t made to try to reinforce them with the
primary purpose of this breed, which is to drive and pin cattle!! As a result, it is important that
the well-bred representatives of these vanishing lines that have a definite predisposition to be
broodmare sires be given every opportunity to show their worth in the half-moon arenas. For
this, they will need the best supporting cast throughout their upbringing, training and
competing. We cannot afford to have these precious genes go by the wayside in a sport where
environment plays a very influential role in expressing genetic potential.
Bayo León
The Chilean Horse breed reached the desired definition of type when, in 1858, a dun
colt was delivered. For some reason, the credit of breeder was given to the owner of the stallion
Caldeado. It is true that Mr. Pedro de la Cuevas was the instigator of the cross, but the owner of
the mare was Mr. Ignacio Fuenzalida. In many areas and eras, the breeder is considered the
owner of the farm where the foal is born. This must have been the case when this impressive
foal was born. Regardless of who deserves the credit as breeder, the resulting foal was named
Bayo León, and his seeing the first light of day in Chile made a tremendous impact on this
native breed.
Caldeado (1835) was a tall, muscular, dark bay with zebra stripes on his legs. As has
already been mentioned, Caldeado was one of the cornerstones of the Cuevano horses.
Caldeado is thought to be the sire of the famous Quebrado (1850) that is found in both the third
and fourth generations of Angamos I. More specifically, Caldeado was a product of the
breeding plan of the famous horse breeder, Pedro de la Cuevas. Conscientiously, he was trying
to produce a line of Chilean Horses that had the speed required for match racing. Caldeado met
the expectations of being a very speedy horse, but his coarse looks left a lot to be desired.
Not much is known about Bayo León’s dam, but her name “La Baya” simply means “the
dun”, so we can assume that that was her coat color. It is stated in the literature (El Caballo
Chileno 1541 a 1914 by U. Prado pgs. 333-335) that this was a truly beautiful mare that was
admired by everyone in the region of Linares. La Baya was an unusually harmonious, very
muscular mare, with well-rounded quarters, a beautiful head and neck, and was as eventempered as the best Cuevano horses. Due to her conformational strengths, Mr. Cuevas
convinced his good friend Mr. Fuenzalida to breed her to his fast stud horse that was so lacking
in physical appeal.
Bayo León matured into an outstanding-looking specimen, and set precedent as to what
the ideal breed type should be like. Standing slightly more than 1.48 m (14.2+ hands), he was at
the upper range of the specifications for the breed. Since many of the horse fairs of those days
required that saddle horses be a minimum of 1.46 m to compete, it was very advantageous to
have a sire of this size in order for the Chilean Horse to gain the desired public recognition.
March 2008 edition
421
Bayo León was a very well balanced horse. He had a deep girth and was an extremely wellmuscled individual that displayed his power even more when he was in movement. His small
head distinguished him, but it maintained the semi-convex head profile of the breed. He was
well proportioned through the neck, and had a low union to the shoulder. Bayo León had the
lighter bone and smaller hooves of his sire, characteristics that facilitated the same prowess for
speed.
Bayo León was a prolific breeder, as one would suspect in a horse of his vitality. For 20
years, he stood in the commercial center of Loncomilla, where he was bred with a wide
assortment of mare types. They came from as far as south as Chillán and as far north as Talca.
In those years, it was said that all the corralero and bush track horses between the rivers Lontué
and Bío Bío were of Bayo León breeding. His sons were the favorite form of payment for
buying steers (geldings by Bayo León were exchanged for thirty cows), and unprecedented
values were placed on these stallions. Many Argentines that came for commercial exchanges
with Chile took back sons of Bayo León to the areas of Neuquén, Cañada Colorada and San
Rafael (Mendoza) as the famous stud was now gaining an international reputation.
The main criterion for the members of his court seemed to be that the mares be speedy
racers. During the middle of the 19th century, match racing was the fever of the horsemen from
the central and southern parts of Chile. This increased Bayo León’s popularity and concentrated
his genes in the racing sectors of the Chilean Horse breed. However, it also meant that little
effort was made to cross him with mares that could fortify the outstanding phenotype that was
concentrated in this monumental dun.
When Pedro de la Cuevas passed away in 1861, the entire Chilean Horse breed suffered
a decline in the progress it had been making. Sadly, the breed did not begin to recuperate from
this total abandonment until 30 years later. Nowhere was this more evident than in the
management of the reproductive career of Bayo León. The absence of the great breeder Pedro
de la Cuevas no longer gave a homogenous direction to the genealogical molding he had so
carefully planned for in the breeding of this great horse that came to represent perfection for the
breed. The fact that Bayo León was the product of two very dissimilar individuals assured that
he was a source of inconsistent gene heterozygosity. When what was needed most was to fortify
his type with similarly conformed animals, the haphazard barrage of mares bred to him only
assured an ample range of breed type in his offspring.
Often, Bayo León’s progeny had the
coarseness of his sire Caldeado. Others had the
smaller stature and weaker loin of his dam.
Rarely was the imprint of the ideal
combination of his two progenitors seen
stamped on his offspring. The one common
factor seemed to be speed, and that was
frequently present in his progeny. For
example, Purapel was a purebred Chilean
Horse that only measured 1.40 m (13.3 hands),
yet he demonstrated a speed in short distances
that was not equaled by Thoroughbreds for
years in Chile. Those among Bayo León’s
Figure II.295 Through Azogue (1897) the genes of Bayo

maternal influences.
competitive in racing were specialized in rodeo
competition. This sport had still not obtained a
widespread popularity, but the Bayo León blood was known to dominate this performance event
as well. Bayo León was not tried as a cowhorse, but he did have a great mouth and his ability as
a rienda horse was second only to his skill as a racer. With his incredible docile temperament,
intelligence and speed, it must be suspected that driving and pinning cows would not have been
beyond his capabilities.
March 2008 edition
422
The following anecdote about Bayo León taken from Uldaricio Prado’s book describes
many of his positive traits:
A large group of people came to visit Mr. Fuenzalida during the breeding season
when the stallion was in heavy use. While the host took care of some guests in
his house, a group of curious admirers surrounded Bayo León, who was waiting
patiently, tied and saddled, in front of the house. As a popular request was made to see
him show off his speed, a nephew of Mr. Fuenzalida proudly offered to make a
run with the horse for their entertainment. Upon mounting the horse, he asked for a
run and the muscular dappled dun accelerated unexpectedly to his top speed. Around 200
yards from the house, the boy asked the horse to stop, and upon the slightest pull on the
reins, Bayo León stopped so abruptly that he sent the young rider catapulting over
his head. On the trajectory out of the saddle, the rider’s spurs got hung up on the
leather collar of the martingale, and the boy ended up hanging upside down between
the horse’s forelegs. Rather than panicking, Bayo León stood there patiently while the
boy pulled out a pocketknife and twisted around, cutting himself free from the leather
strap. The incident was of no surprise to Mr. Fuenzalida, who typically left his kitchen
door open so the horse could come in and clean up the scraps of bread that were left
on his table. His was a very personal relationship with his gentle and trusted horse. *
Up until the age of 22, every year Bayo León would sire more than 30 progeny. Although
his fertility declined thereafter, at the age of 31 he still was putting out nine new foals per year
(this means that he should have had over 600 progeny between 1858 and 1891). In his last year,
under the care of Francisco A. Encina, as a 33-year-old, he was still an extremely energetic
horse. In fact, his unfortunate death came as a result of his trying to jump over a six-foot fence
that contained him in a small paddock.
Almost all the modern paternal influence of Bayo León comes through his son Coipo
(1878). This 140 cm (13.3 hands) dun was a smaller version of his sire. Coipo was structurally
very correct, except for the short pasterns and slight sickle hocks that are really an appreciated
make up in this breed. In spite of the good muscling, Coipo lacked a proportionate amount of
strength below the pin bones of his hind leg. Still, he was an uncommon offspring of Bayo León
in that he had the combination of speed, strength and balanced conformation. Unfortunately,
Copio was exported to Argentina by General Rufino Ortega. There, he gained a widespread
reputation. Not until he was a 20- year-old was Mr. Francisco Encina able to recuperate the
horse for Chilean breeders.
The Coipo son of merit that carried on the family line to modern day bloodlines was
Azogue (1897). This excellent saddle horse was as big as his grandsire Bayo León. With a very
similar physique to his sire, including the hind leg conformation, he did differ in having a large,
more convex head. His coarseness was also evidenced in his thicker skin than Coipo. True to his
Cuevano breeding, Azogue had a very docile temperament, while being a willing worker.
Azogue put out an assortment of good mares such as Adelfa, Afeitada, Gelatina and Haba.
Azogue also sired the stallions Charavique, Cisne, Diamelo, Monitor and Neptuno, but
his best producing son was a 1915 model dun named Zurdo. This stallion proved himself a good
broodmare sire. His daughter Lechona is the dam of the famous Lechón. Crema, who was
inbred to Bayo León, produced Macedonia, the dam of Volador I. Zurdo´s son Fullero stood
at stud at the Hacienda Aculeo and is the grandsire of No Me Toques. He also sired the good
daughters Cobija, Cachuelo, Camote and Comparsa.

Realizing how much animal breeding genius went into producing a horse like Bayo
León, and then having the improbable good fortune to have such an exceptional individual
result from such an effort, it’s truly a shame that breeders did not capitalize more on this horse.
It is clear that as much as the trajectory of the horse is remembered, his legacy is more a product
of his own fame as an individual than it is as a source of dominant genes in the contemporary
version of the breed. Like the grand racehorse Man O’ War, there have been admiring breeders
that have tried to concentrate his genes in pedigrees that see his name many generations in the
past. Unfortunately, line breeding that far back is rarely a productive endeavor. The reality we
are forced to accept is that his influence is not what any of us would have liked it to be.
Mancha
One of the original families of the Chilean Horse in the early part of the 19th century
was known as the Quilamutano horses. Manuel Errazuriz was the breeder of one of the early
representatives of the Quilamutano horses, Choroy I. A select group of mares from this family
were used in the Criadero El Cardonal belonging to Alejandro García-Huidobro. With time,
these horses were specifically referred to as Cardonalinos. The two most important stallion used
in the Criadero El Cardonal were Burro (1860) and Mancha (1865) Uldaricio Prado assures us
that both were of Cuevano breeding. The latter was a grey stallion that is best known for being
the sire of the dun horse Tucapel (1887). Tucapel lived to be 26 years old, and his best sons
were the stallions Cacique and Golondrina.
The black horse Golondrina, who was born in
1905, was the product of crossing two grey families.
His dam Cardonalina, by Sirena, also came from a
family with many grey horses. Andrés Huidobro sold
the horse to Alberto González in a sale that also ran
through the ring the extraordinary horses Gacho and
Africano. Pedro Juan Espinoza took Golondrina to
Pataguas, where his name was changed to Contri.
Contri’s (ex-Golondrina) new owners held him
in very high esteem. Although he wasn’t a very big
horse, he had more daylight under him, as he was a
leggier individual. He had prominent withers that
Figure II.296 Contri (ex-Golondrina) (1905)

too short. He was also remembered for having fine
bone, strangled tendons, short pasterns and good hooves. Contri (ex-Golondrina) had a lot of
breed type with a thick mane tuft and tail and a short muzzled, slightly convex facial profile.
Contri (ex-Golondrina) sired many good corralero horses that were sought out as the best
competitors in the driving and pinning circles of the day. His daughters Ración, Tablilla and
Taimada were all good stock horses. The latter produced the good colt Taimado and the halter
champion Lorena who, in turn, was the dam of Picaporte.
Golondrina’s best son at stud was Anteojo, a dark bay horse born in 1923 that belonged
to Pedro Juan Espinoza. This was a beautifully balanced individual with a gorgeous neck and
head. Anteojo was not particularly muscled and slightly cylindrical in the barrel, but he was
well proportioned overall. This stallion also showed a lot of breed type.
Anteojo did get a good son in the stallion Timbal, which was bred in the Criadero Las
Pataguas in 1933. Later, he was switched over to Don Carlos Prado Amor’s Criadero Chacón.
There, he proved his worth as a broodmare sire, and the breeding farm put back into production
good daughters such as Jacinta, Isleña, Mina and Prisionera. Still, in 1938, he came out with
another nice stallion in Leoncillo.
Little can be said of this line in the last 60 years, and it seems very unlikely that any
paternal representatives exist that will offer much fortitude to the direction the modern breed is
heading in.

Excellent Young Stallion Performers
With a breed that has such a long preparatory and performance stage and that also has a
low number of mares bred per stallion, many years elapse before results permit certain stallions
to rise to excellence. Although occasionally successful new studs can come from the ranks of
the horses that were not chosen or were unable to compete in the Chilean Rodeo, the great
majority have been horses that have stood out in the half-moon arena. For this reason, I have
made up a list of excellent young stallions that have performed in the recent past, from which
more than one outstanding sire of the future will undoubtedly reach national fame.

Outstanding Broodmares of the Breed
All breeds have their “blue hens” and the Chilean Horse is no exception. Each of these
famous mares has an interesting story of noteworthy progeny that have left their mark on the
breed.
As much as I would enjoy sharing the accomplishments of these unforgettable producers,
it would take too much space to do them justice. Notwithstanding, some of their
accomplishments have been included in the text of this chapter, as well as the preceding chapter
on breeders. The fact is that the realm of influence of broodmares is much more limited than
that of stallions, due to the marked difference in the number of offspring throughout their
lifetime.
The point of this chapter is to help new Chilean Horse enthusiasts recognize the
outstanding horses of the breed, and thus get a sense of the quality of a pedigree. In keeping
with this objective, I would like to at least give you a list of names of broodmares that
everybody would agree are among the best of the breed. I will list these mares in alphabetical
order so as to not insinuate any order of importance. Beside each mare, I will stipulate her
registration number and the foundation sire line that the mare belongs to. Below, I will include
any inbreeding in the first six generations and an alphabetical list of their progeny. Of course,
interested parties should take the time to study the maternal influence of these individuals, as
well. The most important maternal qualities are passed on the X chromosome that corresponds
to the dams of the mares in question and their sire’s dam.
Some mares that deserve special consideration when seen in pedigrees are:

Some Thoughts on Horses that Can Be Considered to Salvage the Foundation Lines
The predominant foundation line of the modern Chilean Horse is, without question, the
Guante I line, which for all practical purposes is really the Quebrado line. Although various
branches are still alive, the two most prolific are the Comunista (principally through Rigor and
his son Taco) and the Guaraní (principally through Estribo and his son Estribillo) lineages.
Although presently there will be an interesting inbreeding caused by the popularity of crossing
these two lines that derive from the same foundation sire, in time the concentration of Guante I
in the pedigrees will badly require outcrosses to other foundation lines. The time required before
this lack of vigor manifests itself could also terminate the vitality of other foundation lines that
presently don’t seem so crucial.
The strongest foundation line throughout the history of the breed has been the Angamos I
line. Not only did it dominate the breed with intensively inbred individuals, but also the
outstanding mares from this family later provided a solid maternal foundation upon which much
of the Guante I line received its renown. It would behoove us to cultivate what sire lines still
exist in the Angamos I line, as this was a family that produced sires of sires, broodmares of
excellence and multifaceted performance horses with good sound conformations. Abalorio still
has some precious descendants albeit elderly ones. El Ministro is a grandson that should be
looked at seriously. Searching for full Chilean pedigrees of the Hornero branch in Brazil is
another option if they can be found duly registered in the Chilean Stud Book. Branches that
derive from El Taita, Rotoso II, Romeral and the talented Agravio merit attention. Rotoso II
especially looks like a sire line with a future. Younger representatives like Combatiente,
Escobajo, Indiano, Orujo, Pampanito and Remezón are also individuals to watch closely and
consider. Requinto is an interesting young stallion that traces back through some ordinary
members of the Brujo branch that found strength in the flourishing abilities of solid rodeo
performers like Inocente and Arauco
Although not as generous as the Angamos I line, the Africano extraction also was well
rounded in producing sires, broodmares and performance horses. Moreover, this line has more
quality individuals remaining that can be utilized to try and concentrate the Alcatraz genes. The
Andrajo and Chamanto branches especially show potential if breeders react immediately to
make use of individuals that are still productive. Horses like Codiciado, Cuatrero, El Budi,
Entonao, Guerrero, Juguetón, Níspero, Roto Choro and Rosquero Pocoa are precious
opportunities that need to be taken advantage of. Other names to evaluate closely are Cara
Sucia, Mañanero, Meli, Misionero, Opio, Orgulloso, Putifar, Tamarugo and Silencio. Many
old breeders swear by lineages that come from Cacareo and Mirquen, and this is also
something to keep in mind, even if available representatives are not presently considered
fashionable. Some of these options are Africano paternal lines with a strong influence of
Angamos I on the maternal side, and thus help the resurgence of genes from two different
foundation lines.
The Gacho line was not known as a sire line until Colibrí came along and contributed
three solid branches in Jalea Real, Nunca en Domingo and Siempre en Domingo. Although
fast decreasing in numbers, all three branches have descendants that could be bred across branch
lines in an effort to execute an interesting line breeding to Colibrí. Champion of Chile Lucero
and good performing sons of the promising Monolo are quality individuals that should be
capitalized on. Por si Acaso, Artillero en Domingo and Artesano en Domingo may also be
possibilities. Qué Más Da en Domingo is consistently putting sons in the Champion of Chile.
Papayero was exported to Brazil, but offspring remain in Chile, and semen has been offered
from abroad. Newer representatives that may be in the process of proving their worth include
Ballenero, Lamentado, Payador and Que Pinta. The Gacho line has never stopped being a
good broodmare sire line, and cultivating this less prestigious role also merits consideration.
The Chamal line is hanging by a thread. Making use of the descendants of El Huila to
concentrate the genes of Gañancito is vital if we are not to lose this line forever. Daughters of
the outstanding horse El Huila are still available, and competitive males from the family can be
found in El Concho, El Ñachi, El Tordo, Pipiolo and Viejo Roble, to name a few. What we
must not lose sight of is the fact that the Chamal line is strongly a broodmare sire line, and thus
March 2008 edition
431
it is best that we put our hopes in adding into the broodmare bands the daughters of any
outstanding individual that rejuvenates this line.
Unfortunately, the Mancha, Halcón II and Caldeado/Bayo León lines have been lost
forever. The latter especially is a shame, since Bayo León was one of those horses that come
once in a blue moon. There are other sire lines that once played a prominent role in the breed,
but have long ago stopped being a consideration. Codicia was one such sire line, and this horse
left many good producing daughters in his day. His most famous son was the first Chilean
Horse to be registered, Bronce. This Exposition Champion can be found quite a ways back in
quite a few pedigrees, but in spite of some useful sons like Cucurucho and his son Mingo I, the
paternal continuity of this line eventually petered out. The only usefulness all these forgotten
lines provide us now is the example of what can occur with the Angamos I, Africano, Gacho
and Chamal lines if action is not taken immediately.
Perhaps looking at the 33 top mares of the breed that I have listed will bring home the
point of making sure the Chilean Horse breed does not lose its genetic foundation. Over half of
these extremely influential mares come from non-Guante I sire lines, in spite of the fact that the
Guante I sire lines have dominated the commercial market for close to a half a century. It
should be clear that these vanishing sire lines have important genes to contribute that should not
be taken for granted.
