I'm IN! Competing in the Gaucho Derby February 2026!

The Gaucho Derby is a test of horsemanship, riding the unknown horse you've selected out of hat. Riders who choose to compete in our races, tackle them for this reason. They feel they have the skills as a horseman to read a horse, adapt to the various equine personalities they'll partner with and accept responsibility for this animal that is not their own. All the while, tackling one of the toughest horse adventure races on the planet.⁠
