OVERVIEW
The Criollo horse which was influenced by Spanish breed of horses which came to America by the Conquistadors for the war purposes in the 1500 B.C. The Spanish horses which were transported by Conquistadors were one of the finest breeds of Spain. In the war many of the horses killed and rest was escaped or dispersed. Those who were remaining alive tried hard to survive in the extreme conditions of America. From those of remaining alive horses the Criollo horses came into existence. Now days the Criollo horses can be easily found in Southern part America but the Criollo horse can be found in large numbers in Argentina and Peru. Due to the willingness to remain alive and survive in the extreme conditions the Criollo horses have a strong stamina and a larger level of strength. That is why the Criollo horses are used in various other works.

ORIGIN
The Criollo horses basically originated in the Southern part of America when some of the invaders brought the Spanish breed of horses. It is believed that the Criollo horses get their name from the Criollo which is one of the parts of Argentina or Crioulo of Brazil.
INTERESTING FACTS
The interesting fact about the Criollo horses is that they have inborn quality to adapt according the conditions. This willingness makes them more favorite among the horse lovers. Only due to this quality the Criollo horses have survived yet. The Criollo horses are well known for their endurance power. The Criollo horses can work in livestock or in saddle for longer hours and they don’t even need any kind of special supplemental food. In Argentina the Criollo horses are used in the polo matches. The balance of the Criollo horses is very excellent.
