South Africa to Argentina, via Greece
I received your newsletter via my sister, Gail Alexander; who forwarded it to me as I have just moved to Buenos Aires to launch a exciting new project; Argentina Horse Adventures.
I am of course South African, left to open a similar business in Greece in 1993 and with the economic crisis there at the moment, the horse business is no longer viable.
The tough road to a successful tour company in Argentina
I spent many weeks in Argentina last year researching my project and as you say in your newsletter, they are not geared for tourism , as we know it, and although famous for their horses, the accessibility to quality equestrian activities is difficult. I was determined enough to search and dig deep until I found my way; it even took becoming a member of certain organizations at a cost, but I succeeded.
I am now well integrated in the horsey circle here in Buenos Aires and would like to share my knowledge with interested visitors.
South African inspiration
I know that South Africa is a very horsey country and I am still well known there, having been a regular competitor in Show-jumping, I owned also some racehorses and played some polo for fun; my mum and sister still live in Durban, so I have been back regularly on holiday, as recent as last October, where I actually flew direct to Buenos Aires from Cape Town with Malaysia Air. I have just made available the excursion itinary, where visitors can choose to do one or more of the activities on a simple blog page about it, Buenos Aires Horse Adventures.
I am very excited about the possibility of showing other South Africans around this great city; so I would appreciate your serious consideration on this matter.
This sounds amazing! Next time you’re planning a trip to Argentina, and are up for an adventure, keep David in mind for a bit of home away from home and a holiday to remember.
