Argentinian Gauchos and their horses
Вставка

- No other country brings so many foals into the world as Argentina, no other country exports as many horses and nowhere else in the world is there such a rich and diverse horse culture as in Argentina. The film, which is part of the series “Under the Spell of Horses”, gives the viewer a glimpse of three very different worlds: the gauchos in the pampa, the exclusive polo scene and the daily fight for survival of the cartoneros, the rubbish collectors in the gigantic city Buenos Aires. Director Thomas Wartmann recounts a personal story from each of these worlds, each of which ends with a small dream coming true.
Gauchos and their horses - for centuries they were the heroes of the pampa and the symbol of freedom. The men who sit on the saddle 60 hours a week still exist today in the vast grassy plains of the Argentinean steppe, for many distant corners of the estancias can only be reached on horseback.
At six, young Juan is the youngest rider on San Juan Poriahu, an estate with 4000 cattle and over 300 horses. His father is responsible for the ‘doma’ here, the traditional taming of wild horses, and Juancito has to learn the job from the bottom up. Juan‘s greatest wish is to put his riding skills on show at a fiesta with his stallion `Colorado`. Next week he will finally get the chance.
The life of polo player and horse breeder José Lartirigoyen is very different to the lives of the gauchos. Polo is a national sport, but it is also a business. Polo horses are created by artificial insemination on so-called ‘embryo farms´ and carried to term by surrogate mothers. Argentinean horses are one of the country’s top exports and are sold round the globe. Like most professional polo players, José only spends half the year in Argentina; the rest of the time he is on the polo fields of the super rich all round the world. But there’s still a long way to go before that: first of all the horses will kick off the season at a match in a country club in Buenos Aires. Here they will have to prove that all the long months of training have paid off.
Horses are not just the privilege of the upper class in Argentina. Pitu und Marina live with their five children and a mare called Negra in a corrugated-iron hut on the outskirts of La Plata. The family would never survive without Negra. Every evening she returns from the city with the rubbish that others have thrown away. Negra belongs to the cartoneros - the cardboard and rubbish collectors. Around 800 horses, ponies and mules provide the livelihood of the entire neighbourhood.
Vet Doctora Oliva actually teaches at the veterinary faculty of the university but for the last five years she has made the cartonero horses her purpose in life. ´Con alma por los caballos´, ‘with heart and soul for the horses’, she calls her crusade.
Once a week Dolores attends to the animals which have been injured by shoving, beating or incorrect harnessing. Like old Santiago. The cartonero horse was mistreated and lost his eye. Without an operation he would probably die of an infection. But the Doctora is used to improvising and has a way of persuading her colleagues to do a good deed - for nothing if need be....
Excellent document.Incredible movie.They loved their horses.Gauchos are the national symbol of Argentina. Long live the Argentina and United States!!!.....from Fort Worth, Texas....I love you Argentina...❤❤❤...
Saludos para ti y q Dios los bendiga
This is a beautiful freedom life and tradition.
But a hard life as well. The Experts always make an endeavor appear easy.
Beautiful horses, I’d love to have one (or a dozen!) of them!
Did the Gaucho trip in Argentina ! It was so fun. Rode horses and eat their Asado.
What a wonderful experience that must have been-lucky you!
The vet is very admirable. What a kind and generous person.
it's kind of disturbing when you can get a horse vet to go into the slum to take care of horses but you can't get a doctor to volunteer and help people.
@@redmule8621 Very true!
@@redmule8621 In Argentina the health system is free. There's a small hall for small emergencies in every slum and anybody can go to a hospital. The halth system has its problems, vut is accesible to all.
@@5eba I wish more countries would do that for their people that's been left money on weaponry. Pain and left red tape or a person could just go in and get help no questions asked.
@@redmule8621 I agree. Education from kinder to university and health should be part of the basic standard of life guarateed to any citizen. Those one of two of the few positive things Argentina still preserves.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Special thanks to guest speaker.making this presentation more authentic and possible -!!! 😉. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀 of.

Los gauchos son el símbolo nacional de Argentina 🇦🇷 viva la patria!!
Que orgullo da ver estas cosas una de las cuantas culturas que tenemos en nuestra hermosa argentina!

Great video and wonderful vet who has a heart for the poor working horse and the poor people who rely on them. Wish I was young again, I would have to go to Argentina countryside and enjoy it's beauty and their horses and it's people.
Gorgeous control over so many horses
This beautiful woman vet is absolutely wonderful with her time and her ability to help and heal these horses. She also helps the owners with proper knowledge of what to do and how to care for the horses . God bless her and her team is definitely these horses angel 😇🐎🐎🐎🙏🏻❤️
This woman vet commitment for the horses and the poor is just amazing and heart warming
Great video.
Good to know the poor and rich side of Argentinian horses.
Please never abuse a horse 🐎.
Saludos desde IDAHO, USA.
I will abuse a horse...

The vet seems like a good person helping people
Lots and Lots of respect to that Horse Vet...!
Well done!!!!! Is a nice intro to Argentina's country life!!!!! Makes me feel like coming back for a visit after 33 years!!!! Blessings and more blessings!!!!!😃
Respect for this vet, Beautiful video! thank you for sharing!
What spectacular, majestic animals. Thanks, much appreciated.
29:31 Hurts the heart beyond words. Sometimes I think humanity is just evil.
And then there’s people like that vet.
This Documentary is at least 15 years old but still accurate in many thing, many others had changed.
Excellent documentary. Most of them loved their horses. Seems like some horses were beaten and the vet
was so kind trying to do the best for the situation.
The lady vet is an absolute 'Saint' - it seems the horses can sense it.
Lady Vet is amazing. Like an angel
Viva mi patria argentina viva la tradición argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Hi! :)
@@celinofj hi too
Давно не смотрел документальный фильм с таким удоволствием. Спасибо.
Los gauchos son la continuación de lo que inicialmente fueron los dragones de cuera españoles en los territorios de ultramar. Grande Argentina!
Loved the documentary for some beautiful stories
I live in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It borders both Argentina and Uruguay.
We have a lot of Gaúchos here, also, and it makes me happy to see this video!
A lot of things that I can learn from you, even living not far from where it was recorded...
Thanks! And keep doing your great work!
I don't know if it's from your interest to make more videos about this, but in Rio Grande do Sul we have a slightly different culture of Gaúchos. They speak portuguese instead of spanish, they love to eat 'Churrasco' & other differences...
We also have some dances here, where people wear themselves as Gaúchos:

Everything you learned from this is wrong. There are a lot of really good horse videos on UA-cam. Look them up and forget these brutal methods.
Thank you
Profession with Purpose doesn't remain selfish .. 👍.Lady vet is a good soul. GOD bless her.. 🙏🙏.How cruel a heart to cut a horse's ear..😡😡
Is very interesting to know about the Gauchos people and their traditional way to maintaing their horses. 🐎🐎🐎 I hope these traditions continue through the younger generation like Juancito. 🏇🏇thanks for sharing this amazing documentary. Greetings.
What a nasty little film. Horses hobbled, tied up and terrified, constantly thrashing them with stinging ropes. It's a nauseating display of bad horsemanship and arrogance, hardly an advertisment for Argentina.
they take excellent care of their horses, they all have shiny clean coats when the ones they don’t ride.
Outstanding video . 👏👏👏
So cute, he wants to learn now!
would have liked a follow up on the eye surgery. would be a beautiful place to live and work.
Villa Alba, me mueroooo jajajajajaj yo me crié ahí! Excelente documental
6:33 that calf just flew off
Great vid, interesting, love the horses. Need more vids like this!
Thanks for th doc guys
It a new thing on you tube ...iv been to a phone shop to C U ...carnt be blocked...or got rid off...
In Brazil we also have gaúchos. Actually they exist in Uruguay as well
Jajaja que acontece envidia
Quien te pregunto flaco?

This is so lovely to watch. So good, fantastico

that 'bay' horse sure looked like a chestnut to me
You beat me to it. Lol
I was thinking a sorrel
🇮🇪. Very good video sharing
3:44: Columbus didn't conquer South America...he barely visited the place...
Well, any portuguese or spanish people were very strong in that age... But he only discovered South America :P
Idk if he even visited that place in Argentina.
I want to buy that bay colt with the star on his forehead!!!
W i Gauchos ❤
I Like this Domestic Animals is like the Criollo Horses,and Mules in Argentina. And this is the Game of the Sport Horses like the Polo League Champion, and but there’s Wild West country of Argentina is like the Gauchos and the Large Herd of Criollo Horses. HEY!

It’s not a bay... it’s a sorrel...

Qué pequeña película tan desagradable. Los caballos cojeaban, atados y aterrorizados, azotándolos constantemente con cuerdas punzantes. Es una demostración nauseabunda de mala equitación y arrogancia, difícilmente un anuncio de Argenyina.
Hobbling that horse to the tree and terrifying it to death made me ill. There has to be a better way to communicate and train horses that have not experienced human touch.
you train horses ever sandra?
I agree with you, i’m Argentinian studying for veterinarian, i can assure you they do love horses but they are so undeveloped in terms of animal health care, both physical and mental.
@@bautilo6600 Hi, I think they'd have a shock to see how I'm 'breaking in' my Criollo (bought from Germany last year, you can't find them in the UK.) I'm very gentle and calm with her. When you become a vet you can change things!
@@mayitajams8255 I'm training one at the moment, her name's Clara, she's a Criollo, I bought her from Germany last year. I als trained my other two.
Columbus didn't conquer South America, with or without horses 🤨
It was Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca that first brought the horse into the Pampas
❤❤❤❤

Wow that's a lot of adverts
Cast with Google Chrome cast.. No Adverts..
Or pay for UA-cam premium!
wow
Real cowboys 😊
I want to marry a gaucho, really
Excuse me? Columbus conquered South America? And you guys make documentaries about countries? Columbus only set a foot on South America for ONE DAY (August - 5 -1498) to plant a cross and the flag of the Spanish Crown on the coast of what we know today as Venezuela, on his third voyage to the new continent, and he was NOT a conqueror, neither was he a soldier, he was an explorer, a navigator who is credited with, arguably, discovering America, he never conquered any lands. I guess you flunked History in Middle School.

Also a Mass Murderer
The “bay” horse is actually a chestnut...
i want to talk about the estancia with the little Juan, in that place they explicitly abused the calf on the fiesta and you are still making a fucking part of a documentary about it
Documentaries are supposed to document, warts and all, not hide issues
Whether you think it’s wrong or not documentaries are made to see situations from other people’s perspectives. Not to wallow in your own.
lastima que no se puede subtitular al español !!!!!
aprendé el inglés; no te hará menos Argentino
Fiesta means party in Spanish
And lazo means rope
How sick can someone be to cut off a horse’s ear. I can’t believe people can mistreat horses or any animals for that matter.
The way they start horses in this video is very close to abuse. Look at the rope burn marks on the horse's nose at 26:30. and the riding at 49:50... SAD.
too many ads
12:48 Daniel the top breaker literal cause that what the are doing to the poor horses breaking them breaking their spirit their essence thats not how you train a horse plus you don’t gains trust forcing a foal to lay down you gain trust when the foal lays down by its own (like to rest) and then you slowly approach and pet him
Edit: 26:36 you can see the wound the halter make to the horse they were breaking
I agree with you, i’m Argentinian studying for veterinarian, i can assure you they do love horses but they are so undeveloped in terms of animal health care, both physical and mental.
Son siglos de doma, así lo hacían los indios pampas y así lo hacemos los criollos.
Ah horses
At 2:50 ..... That's not a Bay Horse. It's a Sorrel. A Bay has a dark mane and tail.
the horse eating paper made me sad. If i could give everything to everyone I would
👋😉
Big and healthy animals!
The second vet looks like Stan Lee 😅
The barbwire fence.
Farasi.. Horses in Swahili..
Terrorizing young horses doesn't sound like training to me. It's brutal and is hard to excuse.
it´s no longer done there
What the in mate
Kind of a flimsy fence. Those big Brahma cross cattle would push through it you would think
48:55 no shoes, and the cigarette is not moving an inch....
Way too many Ads to watch.
I highly disagree with the training methods shown in this, this is not how any horse, ESPECIALLY A FOAL, should be trained. Horses also literally cannot be bad, it is impossible for them to have any sort of malicious intent because they do not have the capacity to think like that, just like they have no notion of respect, horses can not conceive the idea of respect.
Son caballos salvajes que tienen es sus genes mucha inflamación de previos caballos y siglos de trabajo y vida libre. Estos caballos sólo se pueden domar si confían en el hombre que intenta montarlos. Esta forma de doma, viene de las civilizaciones indígenas, así se ha hecho por casi 500 años.
I love Horses...
Im my IKEA Frozen Burger!
49:48 ABUSIVE!🤬
Guy HIT that buckskin in the FACE !!!!
BEATING the Horse ! 👹
I train American Mustangs
With NO ABUSE!!!
UNBELIEVABLE 😒👹
Agree with you, I also train horses and there is no need to beat them or abuse them to teach horses what they need to learn
Quisiera saber en que parte de Argentina buscan alimentos en la basura, si bien hoy en el 2023 más que nunca se sigue revolviendo la basura, en CABA está prohibida la traición a sangre.
si salís de CABA vas a ver que todavía siguen usando el caballo a tracción ... acá en moreno es pan de cada día
The horses they are RIDING look terrible. Those hips should not be that exposed and jesus they riding them like some bandits
I know this is a tradition but some traditions should be left in the past. This is not a humane way to train a horse.
Los que ganan con los caballos 🐎 de polo son los jugadores del deporte, pero los peones los que atienden al caballo es muy bajo el sueldo que les dan.
WHICH BREED IS THIS ?
The race is criollo... Is a mix of Berverisk horses and andaluces decendents from the first horses that the conquerors bring to america... Although they are not very fast, they are very strong and resistant, they are used mainly for work ...
Giving cat medicine
Symbol of freedom? I don´t know, man
Glorified animal cruelty? I dont think so
No entiendo
1 minute watching is enough to see rude and very dumb approach to horses. No time to loose
I assume you're a cowboy yourself right? not just a millennial who grew up in na city and never touched a horse
@@AlefeLucas you don’t need to be a chef to know how to cook, and yes i know horses. I had beautiful relations with them through the years.
