We have a very active Club Vaqueros here in Bahia Asuncion that puts on events like Cabalgatas...kind of a horse rally and horse races. Sunday they
held a fund raiser day of races where the up and coming colts were training to be race horses with their owners riding them. The horse races are
always a fun family event where the local cowboys bring their horses and they give rides to the kids in between races.
My grandson Izaak was so stoked to ride two horses...the second one was a borracho who loved drinking beer out of his master's hand! Here are some
images and videos of the day.

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Cultural events like these are what make baja living so special. I absolutely love the stepping back in time feel. This particular race was to let the
colts get the feel of the track and the owners get a look at if the horse can run! They are also raising funds for the cabalgata for the Traditional
Fiestas which are coming up on Aug.13-16th.
The riders are the owners and not jockeys which is even more fun. The gal is a twin and the two daughters are good horsewomen. They often take our
guests out riding too.
They wear a seatbelt...that is what they are tied onto the horse with.
Izaak loves horses and will be a good rider one day like his mom and nana!
