ABOUT ALICE & THE BLOG

Cowboys, jockeys, polo players and gauchos: Cambridge graduate Alice Whaley travels through in cultures of horsemanship all over the world, and writes about the people and stories she finds there.

 

She began at a Picadero near Seville, learning about Dressage horses and Bull-Fighting bulls, went on an expedition around Argentina, then went to a Polo farm and an Estancia in Uruguay. Having met Spanish and South American cowboys, the United States had to be next on the list.

 

Next she began researching horse racing in the UK, finding stories behind all aspects of the industry, from breeding, to breaking; from sales, to training.
