Unit 6 Video script
Narrator: In the country of Argentina, cowboy life has scarcely changed over the past three centuries. The gaucho is a hero here; for most people, he is a legendary figure that is larger than life.

The horses must then be “broken” so that they’ll allow people to ride them.
Ansola: “Breaking a horse is a slow process, taking more than a year. This is something the horse learns to put up with.”
Narrator: The gaucho explains that the horse must adjust to using a saddle and reins so the riders aren’t thrown off later. The treatment seems cruel, but according to Don José it’s
