El Caballo Criollo is directly descended from horses brought to the New World by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century. Many of these horses escaped or were abandoned, and quickly returned to its original state in a perfect environment for its development: the Pampa. Over the next four centuries, the Criollo was adapted to the vast plains of South America. The Indians were riders and began breeding these horses in semi-freedom.

This breed was developed in parallel in several countries, although not developed an air walker, recognized the Berber influence in their morphology, their stamina and spirit. The names may vary from one country to another: Criollo in Argentina and Uruguay, Crioulo in Brazil, and Morochuco Costeño in Peru, Chile and Ranger Corralero in Venezuela. Similarly, slight variations may also occur in the phenotype, depending on environmental conditions and customs of the country. For example, in recent years, Chilean players Corraleros more robust and heavier than the Creoles of this is imported by breeders in southern Brazil and Uruguay.

After spending several centuries in relative isolation during the nineteenth century the wild herds closer to the civilized areas were systematically crossbreed with European blood as both chair shot, so that the type and characteristics of the Criollo horse went gradually losing . But early in this century, several breeders began a search for herds that had not been mestizoized, even to Patagonia in his eagerness to find copies to keep original characteristics of the breed. Subsequently defined the model for La Raza Criolla and began enrollment in the genealogical records of the same.

Criollo Horse in Uruguay
More than three centuries of natural selection began a process of interbreeding with native herds across the English Thoroughbred (Thoroughbred) to the point of almost extinguished race. After 50 years, in 1910, Uruguayan farmers began a screening process to reproduce the few remaining Creole. In 1916, in Argentina, is resolved to open the genealogical records of the Criollo breed to control more severe selection. Uruguay added morphological and functional tests to ensure that the race to retain its rustic, endurance, energy and resilience.
