The collective of the equestrian center Rancho Mexico doesn't stop their activities, even in times of Covid 19, betting on the preparation of the young riders and in the attention to the showy steeds assigned to the competitions.
In this installation, located in Cruce de Mir, it keeps the training of children and young people, following the sanitary measures, with a view to future events when the sanitary situation allows it, aspects about which Alfredo Hipólito, equestrian trainer, referred to.
"We keep the training in several sessions so that we don't have to keep the children all together. The prospects are good. We work with riders from the 7- and 8-year-old base school and with new horses."
Even when material resources are limited and the intense drought makes itself felt, the horses are in good health and in good condition, thanks to the dedication of Rancho México's workers, according to trainer Manuel Luis Garcés, a former rider who has won national and international equestrian competitions.
"The horses are kept in good condition because of the attention we give them, always looking for alternatives to guarantee their nutrition. If a machine breaks down, we cut the grass by hand, we work together so that they don't miss anything."
With all these initiatives, horse riding in this region of Calixto García maintains its development plans and doesn't give up the victories obtained with the protagonism of riders, trainers, steeds and other workers of the Rancho México Equestrian Center.
