Hi Romuald,
I love the Creole hardness and being suitable for sports fields or at least forgive the weakness or poor strength.
Hello Romualdo
Explanatory information is referred to fine pitch portoriqueno and the difference with Colombia, the truth had no idea, so I imagine it deviera be the closest descendant of the first horses brought to the new world (besides geographical proximity to Spain ) is also very beautiful and natural.
I think every Latin American country received it several breeds or bloodlines, no doubt many have been lost, here in my country is used is rather Chilean cowboy use, also used in Brazil and Argentina but there generically call it is a mix criollo Chilean-bred and River Plate, as I reiterate, each country that received it from Spain, as adapted, improved or simplente lost, I'm glad that you have retained and this beautiful breed.
Greetings from Chile
