Born in the saddle and born to be wild; that's how we could describe Simón in 2 short sentences!n.

Simón was born and raised in rural Colombia and has been passionate about horses since childhood. Turning his hobby into a profession he did by being apprenticed to the best horse people in the world. He took national and international courses, from Farriery, to Carriage Driving, Saddlery, Equine Therapy, Equestrian Center Management and First Aid Provider, to Natural Horsemanship internships with Monty Roberts & horse trainers such as Polito Ulloa.

He travelled in North, Central and South America on horseback and visited Europe, Africa and Asia

 

In addition, Simón has been working as a guide on multi-day trail rides and equestrian expeditions for years now. Taking care of his horses and riding guests, he guides like no other, is very social & helpful and does everything with a smile. He speaks Spanish, English and Portuguese.

 

Adventure is his second nature; In 2017 Simón was part of Caroline Casey’s project “Valuable”. An expedition on horseback and mules where they rode from the Caribbean coastal city of Cartagena to the capital Bogota. A 1000km trip in the saddle in 30 days, dedicated to people with disabilities.

 

But his hunger for adventure didn't stop there. In January 2021, midst the pandemic period, he started a new big adventure; an adventure that he now remembers as, “the university of life”. 

 

1 man, 2 mules, 5 countries, 8000 Km, 365 days and as many adventures. Simon left his native Colombia with his mules for a huge solo adventure. After crossing the Andes mountains, deserts, jungles and defying all climates, exactly one year later Simon and his mules reached Jesus Maria in Argentina , the finish line of his expedition. ( https://5tierras.com.co/ ).

 

Today Simón is a guide, organizer and partner of Entre Orejas. A partner with new ideas, a lot of passion and enthusiasm that results in new amazing Entre Orejas rides and great new destinations.

Chalas is originally from Bogota. Years ago he chucked his career as a lawyer and returned to his first love; horses.

Horses and everything around the equine culture is his passion. He is a man that loves the pure and simple things in life. Coming from a family of great equestrian tradition he is the ideal riding guide on our trail rides.

 

From day one you will notice that Chalas is a waterfall of words (no supprice he once was a lawyer), talks to everybody, has fun all the time and is at his best when in the saddle.  He has been guiding on the most extreem riding expeditions all over the Americas as well as on Trail rides and riding safaris in Africa, Asia and Europe.

 

He speaks Spanish, English and Portuguese.

 

In 2017 Chalas was part of Caroline Casey’s project “Valuable”. An expedition on horseback and mules where they rode from the Caribbean coastal city of Cartagena to the Colombian capital Bogota. A 1000km trip in the saddle in 30 days, dedicated to people with disabilities.

 

In 2015 he created ValleVerde horse riding Colombia and soon forged partnership with Entre Orejas.

 

His hobby is to explore all corners of Colombia on horseback, as well as to create new rides in countries where an interesting equestrian culture and breathtaking landscapes are present.

 

Chalas is a man driven by passion, a great horseman and therefor the best deal to have him on one of your Entre Orejas riding holidays.
