Simón Vergara Gutierrez

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 traveled 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.

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.

Felipe Mazabel Ortega

A true son of the Colombian plains, Felipe lives and breathes horses, wide-open landscapes, and music. He is not only a skilled horseman but also a natural showman. From long days in the saddle to training and taming young or wild horses, Felipe embodies the spirit of the llanero, the traditional cowboy of Los Llanos.

​

As a singer and songwriter, he never misses a chance to lift the mood with a song—around the campfire, in the saddle, or during long rides across new horizons.

​

Coming from Hato Santana, one of Colombia’s most iconic cattle and horse farms, Felipe grew up surrounded by authentic cowboy culture. His greatest passion is staying close to local cowboys and horsemen/women wherever he rides in the world. Defending, sharing, and promoting their traditions is what drives him.

​

Colombian by birth but a citizen of the world by heart, Felipe has guided riding groups across different continents. He speaks Spanish, English, and a charming Portuñol.

​

One thing is certain: you’ll have a hard time finding a better person to guide your riding adventure!
