Santiago Paperchase Club

What Santiago Paperchase Club does

Santiago Paperchase Club is a private equestrian and country club founded in 1905 in Santiago, Chile, and currently headquartered at Av. Rinconada El Salto 5555, Huechuraba. The Club delivers core equestrian services in jumping (Salto), dressage (Adiestramiento), and a beginner riding school (Escuela de Equitación), supported by dedicated masters in each discipline, and claims the largest concentration of dressage practitioners among Chilean clubs. Beyond equestrian operations, it operates recreational amenities (tennis, padel, pool) and four event venues (Club House, Parque Quincho, Parque las Palmeras, Quincho Piscina) that host weddings, corporate seminars, and private events.

The Club's business model is built on annual recurring membership subscriptions across five tiers: Active (adults 25+), Youth (under 25), Transient (international officials and diplomats), Corporate (up to two organizational members), and Guest Juvenile (riders from other Chilean regions studying in Santiago). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with onboarding handled through downloadable admission forms. Membership fees are complemented by event venue rentals and ancillary recreational use, with marketing conducted primarily through the Club's own website and word-of-mouth.

The organization is privately held, governed by a Board of Directors led by President Jorge Hess, Vice President Lorena Solá, and General Manager Guillermo Garín, with no external investors, parent company, or public listing. The Club is a founding promoter of the Federación Ecuestre de Chile and counts historical members including President Carlos Ibáñez del Campo and world-record high-jump rider Alberto Larraguibel, anchoring its brand within Chile's formal equestrian establishment.
