Today we went out to a farm nearby looking for a horse show. We didn't find the horseshow (we were a bit late) but we did explore this beautiful farm. Fundo Tronador - Farm Thundermountain named after the nearby volcano- is a dairy farm and a Lipizzaner horse farm.

An interesting water fountain that spills into a little pond at the entrance |

This is the carriage house |
|
And these are all the fabulous carriages
All fairly new and built in Poland |
|
Wouldn't you love a ride in this? |
|
We did see a few horses
They just weren't showing |
|
This is the large covered arena with stables |
|
This is inside the arena - notice the chandeliers
Someone's got a lot of pesos
Didn't know dairy farming was that profitable! |

Very cool. I love the Lipizzaner's and I've been a fan of dressage for years even though I've never ridden a horse.
ReplyDeleteYea we are very disappointed that we did not get to see a show, but they have other shows during the year so we will keep you all posted. Thanks for the comment Flambeaux
DeleteI had no idea there were Lipizzaner Stallions in Chile! I lived in Austria from 1985 to 1987.
