Since we were trying to avoid the rain at Torres del Paine, we headed over to the stables near the Hotel Las Torres to watch the gauchos prepare the horses for the winter.

This horse was quite feisty and it took a lot of work to get her into the stall. Maybe she liked her shoes? I can relate...
Have you ever watched cowboys at work?

I used to train horses, so I love seeing how it’s handled in different cultures. Well, provided it’s with love and respect. And these horses look very well cared for, so this was definitely a treat. Thanks for posting! 🙂
There definitely seemed to be love there. We really enjoyed watching them. Thanks for commenting =)
Love horses. These photos capture their strength and spirit. Like the beret on one of the gaucho’s heads too!
Thanks so much, Anita! We saw a few berets on gauchos and guides in Patagonia – must be the fashion! =)
