One typical gaucho game is called "La Carretilla" (The Wheelbarrow). In this game, a gaucho balances himself on his hands and feet, creating the shape of a wheelbarrow. Another gaucho then climbs onto the first gaucho's back and holds onto his legs. The objective is for the first gaucho to move around while keeping the second gaucho on his back. This game requires balance and strength.
Another typical gaucho game is called "La Sortija" (The Ring). In this game, a small ring is hung from a pole or tree branch. The gaucho rides a horse at full speed, attempting to catch the ring with a stick or lance. The gaucho must have precise timing and skill to successfully catch the ring while riding at high speed. This game displays the gaucho's horsemanship and agility.
