The Gaucho Derby 2024 is set to go…
As I write this, out in the wild mountains of Patagonia the riders of the 2024 Gaucho Derby are saddling up and nervously eyeing the start line (you can meet them all here). In the heart of Patagonia, Argentina, where the earth meets the sky in a vast expanse of untamed wilderness, equestrian enthusiasts from eleven different countries have converged for one of the world’s toughest adventure horse races—the Gaucho Derby.
