i was always wondering......how do those guys feed those horses? no grazing lands there i am aware of, no hay barns, no alfalpha fields to mow. what
do they use for horse fuel??
horse boarding here is muy expensive, several $$$s a month, more than an aircraft hangar - i know, i have some friends who have both a plane and
horse(s)!

was wondering that myself BBoy
Actually there are alfalfa fields in vizcaino and some horses do graze the desert a well. There are several ranches around here and lots of folks in
town have horses too and get alfalfa in vizcaino...

I was just advised of the new dates...Aug.12-16th. I will post the events calendar when I get it....I revised the original post....looks like the surf
competition will be the week before for some reason...possibly because they have a different beer company sponsor??

"beer company sponsor" there is only TECATE !!!!!
