Googled Chilean rodeo champions which led to Wikipedia giving me Ramón Cardemil and Juan Carlos Loaiza. Googled them both with the word statue and only Ramon has one, which is in his hometown of Curico. Googled Ramon Cardemil statue sculptor and got Graciela Albridi from myetymology.com page about Ramon.

...This one took me a bit of time, maybe 20 minutes.<br /><br />I started with the search [huasa collero]. In my results was a Wiki page for Chilean rodeo. I noticed both search terms in the blurb, so I investigated. The article mentions two huasos, Ramón Cardemil and Juan Carlos Loaiza, as having the most championships/titles (7 each). From there, I clicked each name, starting with Ramon first.<br /><br />His English Wiki page is pretty barren, but his Spanish page has tons of information. After translating the page, I was able to find the information I was looking for:<br /><br />Ramon Cardemil had a monument created in his honor in 2006 in the city of Curico. The statue, called "La Atajada" (The Catch), was designed by artist Graciela Albridi. So that is the extra credit answers, but I still needed the MAIN answer.<br /><br />Soooo, a quick Google search on Graciela Albridi led me to her website http://www.gracielaalbridi.cl/. It is there, again after translating, that we find out she was born in Syria.<br /><br />Interestingly, though, Cardemil is no longer the all-time champion, as Juan Carlos Loaiza won his 8th title in April of 2012.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08437255105350726919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-75112166668013791712012-08-01T17:19:21.057-07:002012-08-01T17:19:21.057-07:00Sculptor: Graciela Albridi

Started by searching huasa and collera, which led to Chilean rodeo on Wikipedia, which led to Ramon Cardemil, its most successful participant. A Google image search of Cardemil led to an image of Albridi's monumental sculpture. From there, finding Albridi's website with biographical information and info about the location of the sculpture was easy.
