Biography
He was born on May 30, 1919.
Then-Captain Larraguibel broke the equestrian high jump record at 2.47 metres (8.1 ft), riding Huaso, formerly called "Faithful", at the Official International Event in Viña del Mar, Chile on February 5, 1949. The Committee of Records ratified this record on May 28, 1949, and stated that a height of at least 2.49 metres (8.2 ft) must be cleared to beat it.
Larraguibel died in Santiago, Chile at the age of 75.
