Postcard No.20

In the 'doma de potros', the gaucho must stay on the back of a wild horse for ten seconds, and is then rescued by his colleagues. Only a few succeed. With Francisco Martorella, Tim twice attended these exciting events at San Isidro, near Buenos Aires. They are held as part of all-day celebrations of rural traditions, often on public holidays in the autumn (May), which is another good time to visit Buenos Aires.
