Discovering
Tierra del Fuego

Earlier this year, we spent a week with the Scarpatti family in San Luis, Argentina, where we were introduced to a way of working with horses based on trust and understanding rather than control. It was a meaningful experience that resonated deeply with us and has influenced the way we continue to work with our own horses at Las Loicas. It is a journey we intend to continue in the years ahead.

More recently, we spent time with Marion Latour, a Dutch systemic coach who works with horses. Her perspective offered another layer of understanding, not only about the relationship between humans and horses, but also about the way horses reflect our presence, intentions and communication. In November, we will continue exploring these ideas during a course with her in Brazil.

As with many things at Las Loicas, these experiences naturally find their way back to the farm. Horses have an extraordinary ability to respond to authenticity. They notice the difference between what we feel and what we communicate, and they invite us to be fully present in the moment. These are lessons we continue to learn ourselves, and we look forward to sharing a small part of that journey with our guests.

We are also looking forward to welcoming Abril Scarpatti to Las Loicas in January and February. Having her here will be a wonderful opportunity for us to continue learning and deepen our connection with the horses.
