Thank you Lucas for these “No Hat” meetings.
From e-quine ACADEMY we want to thank the possibility of sharing this and other contents in Podcast format that build community, amplify valuable voices and allow us to continue learning together. We are happy to open the doors to proposals like this one, which are born from the commitment, passion and experience of those who live the horse world from the inside. Lucas Echeverry will be the one who, in this and every new meeting, will invite us to enjoy this space for conversation and shared learning, with the warmth of someone who opens the doors of his house and waits for us with a delicious coffee.
Episode 17: “A life dedicated to the research of the Colombian Criollo horse”.
Mario Gómez Caballero is a chemist by profession, but a breeder and historian of the Colombian Criollo horse by passion and vocation. Mario has tirelessly studied and researched the origins of our horse and has managed to leave for history very valuable documents on this subject.
We talked with Mario about his beginnings in the horse world, the influence his wife’s grandfather had in his life, who bred racehorses, and his current situation as a breeder. He also gave us some insight into the history of the horse from the savannah of Bogota and its differences with the horse developed in the mountains of Antioquia. Mario told us about Don Danilo, El Arco and Tayrona, and other horses and mares that have made history, among other very interesting topics.
