The Chilean Corralero or Chilean Criollo is the Chilean national breed of Criollo horse. Like all Criollo horses, it descends from horses brought to the Americas from Spain by the Conquistadors.
Conquistadors or conquistadores were Spanish and Portuguese colonizers who explored, traded with, and conquered many parts of the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania during the Age of Discovery. Saili
