2018 AQHA International Best Remuda Award – La Media Suerte

In 2018, the American Quarter Horse Association established the AQHA International Best Remuda award to recognize ranches in other countries that raise good ranch horses. The inaugural winner is La Media Suerte of Salto, Uruguay, which is owned by Alvaro Martinicorena .

The ranch name translates literally as “the half luck,” and indicates a colonial measurement – a “luck” of land grant was 2,000 hectares; so a 1,000 hectare half luck is approximately 2,500 acres, but it serves as the family’s inside joke. On the rich land in Uruguay, La Media Suerte runs mostly Hereford and Angus cattle on its several hundred thousand acres, as well as a remuda of American Quarter Horses it has cultivated for more than 30 years.

Read more about the ranch and its horses in the December issues of the American Quarter Horse Journal and America’s Horse magazines. Subscribe to the Journal or read the digital editions for free at www.aqha.com/magazines.
