Huaso

SOLD
Chilean cowboy riding his rodeo horse, a corralero, compact, agile and full of impulsion.

The Chilean Horses were selected and bred for their agility in the working field for every day life, for lateral dexterity and the courage to confront and pin down cattle. All of this while preserving their energy throughout a long day of work. This is the inspiration for the modern-day Chilean Rodeo, where 2 huasos chase, accompany and pin down a cow in the medialuna (a half-moon shaped area). After a whole year of training the finals take place in Rancagua, every year in April.

Graphite and chalk on tinted pastel paper.

Artist: Wendy Fraser
