For all our tours and expeditions ILALO HORSES uses horses from our prize-winning Ranch, CRIADERO ILALO. Our ranch is located 30 minutes from Quito, Ecuador's capital city, in the valley of Tumbaco, at the foothills of the Ilalo Volcano, and covers an area of roughly 30 acres.

CRIADERO ILALO was established in 1998. Initially, we acquired 4 purebred mares and 1 stallion from Peru. Over the last six years, our ranch has purchased several purebreds and at the same time we have been breeding and schooling our own horses to maintain the desirable characteristics of the Paso Horse, while creating our own Paso Horse, ILALO style! At the moment we maintain an average of 50 purebreds.

We have a young ranch, however, since the year 2000 we have been competing in Paso Horse Championships and have won over 100 trophies and prizes in all levels of competition. Our horses have been awarded top prizes in national and regional championships every year since 2000. These awards show our commitment to breeding the best Paso Horses as well as the excellence of all mares and stallions.

We want to share with you the beauty, luxury and endurance of the Paso Horse. Our horses are not just any horses, they are the smoothest horses in the world! Let them show you the best of Ecuador.
