Club Hípico Las Delicias

“Did you hear about that time during the 2020 quarantine when someone tried to sneak in some horseback riding at Club Hípico Las Delicias?” I ask, lowering my voice as if sharing a juicy secret. We’re standing before the entrance to this esteemed equestrian club, nestled within the Las Delicias country club. Club Hípico Las Delicias is more than just a place to ride; it’s a cornerstone of Córdoba’s equestrian community. It’s a place where the thunder of hooves echoes the passion of generations of riders. Now, back to our quarantine escapade. Apparently, a member of the club, convinced that equestrianism was an “agricultural activity,” attempted to use this excuse to bypass the lockdown restrictions. She even encouraged other members to join her, claiming this loophole. Imagine the scene: the quiet, deserted streets of the country club suddenly alive with the clip-clop of horses, a clandestine equestrian rebellion unfolding. The local police were having none of it. They’d already warned the determined rider earlier that week. Undeterred, she brandished a permit meant for agricultural producers, a document as relevant to horse riding as a saddle is to a tractor. The Fuerza Policial Antinarcotráfico, assisting with lockdown enforcement, arrived at Club Hípico Las Delicias and found the rider, accompanied by a minor, mid-activity. The rider was cited for violating quarantine, a reminder that even in the world of elegant horsemanship, the long arm of the law can reach you. It’s a quirky footnote in the history of Club Hípico Las Delicias. The incident highlights the club’s importance to its members and their dedication to their sport. This passion, however, needs to be exercised within the boundaries of the law. As we step inside, consider the history and quiet elegance of this place. This prestigious club has witnessed countless competitions, from local events to grand prizes. It is a testament to Córdoba’s rich equestrian heritage.
