Intro
Also called Venezuelan Criollo and Prairie Horse, the Llanero comes from the animals brought to Buenos Aires by the Spanish (specifically Don Pedro de Mendoza) in 1535.
Origins
Each strain of the Spanish South American breeds are defined by the different climates found where they live. The extreme weather in Venezuela shaped this strain into a small, hardy animal that is named for the swampy savanna plains from which it comes. This is still a common animal today.
