Equine Workshop: connection, respect, and learning
Connecting with the Colombian Criollo horse
More than an exhibition, this experience brings you up close to one of Colombia’s most extraordinary animals, helping you understand their behavior and experience a moment of genuine connection with nature.
During our Equine Workshop, you will discover how a skilled rider builds a bond of trust and respect with their horse, until they truly move as one team.
What will you learn in our workshop?
You will learn that communication isn't about force, but body language, calmness, and the energy we project.
Our guides will show you the importance of treating horses with respect, how to approach them correctly, and the proper way to pet them.
Horses sense our emotions and recognize the energy we express through our movements and gestures—proving that a bond built on trust always achieves better results than one based on mistreatment.
You will also learn about the main gaits of the Colombian Criollo Horse:
Trote (Trot)
Trocha
Colombian Paso Fino, world-renowned for the smoothness, elegance, and precision of its gait.
You’ll discover how, through subtle cues and signals from the rider, the horse interprets every movement with harmony and precision—showcasing the extraordinary intelligence and sensitivity of this breed, completely free of mistreatment.
In addition, you will learn about the history, characteristics, and importance of the Colombian Criollo Horse—a symbol of our culture and heritage, admired for its gentleness, beauty, and exceptional performance.
More than an exhibition, it is an experience focused on connection, learning, and respect for one of Colombia's most extraordinary animals.
