Horse camps
Looking for a list of horse camps with all accommodations. In Northern Baja.....from San Quintín to BoLA to San Felipe
I was just informed that fishing is out...and horse riding is in...by the big boss, for next year 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

It was once a feature at Mike's Sky Rancho... I think they have been replaced by 'iron horses' now.

Not sure if I know what a horse camp is, but I suspect if you rode into San Borja they could feed and water your horse for you. Out beyond San Borja
is Aguaje, and there is water there but no rancho. And while you are in that area the San Juan mine is a really intersting area. No water there but it
is only 5 or so miles back to Aguaje and then westerly to rancho San Gregorio, and just just a little farther to San Borja. Or on the way from
Gregorio to Borja from Gregorio, turn left down the valley and go through Sana Anna, lots of water there. Lots of places to explore by horse down here
in the Bahias area.

PS I just remembered rancho Meiling, I stopped there to help them with their starband system and they for sure could take care of your animals.

Oh, I didn't realize Deno was bringing horses to Mexico... I thought he wanted a campo/ rancho that rented them for riding...?
Larry, I want to ask you about driving up to San Juan (I have driven to San Gregorio, 10 years ago)... But, let's discuss it in another thread.

Check with Trudi in Loreto. She knows horses, mules, and Baja.
I've known her since the 70's. With her husband, she does all kinds of adventure travels in Baja.

I just assumed he had his own horses, maybe he means places to go and use their horses. He'll let us know what he is looking for. I think Jose at San
Borja could still accomodate him.

mcpez:
start with mehling ranch, rancho la bellota, hacienda santa veronica. i think there are a good number of dude ranch type outfits in north baja (some
market mostly to mex visitors), but i don't think the horsy set hangs out in nomadlandia.
try asking the astrobaja dude, he may know about dude ranches in his area.
also, try calling rancho la puerta (the pricy spa). they may be able to refer you to local working guest ranches.
something i have always wanted to do is a pack trip in high areas of san pedro martir plateau -- if you find someone that does that well, tell me.

4 pounds pinto beans, picked over and rinsed
1 pound horse (or burro), chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 (12-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
3 whole jalapeno peppers
Directions
Place beans in a large pot with a tight-fitting cover and add enough water to cover beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, place bacon, onion, and garlic in a medium cast iron frying pan and brown the mixture, while stirring, over medium heat. Add bacon mixture
to beans. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are soft, about 3 hours total cooking time, adding more hot water if needed. Add chili powder, sugar,
salt, pepper, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and jalapeno peppers. Simmer for another 10 minutes and then serve.

I could use some help with my bean recipe. Is burro really better than horse for beans? Is there an easy way to cook beans on the trail? I mean
without using all of ones fuel.

chrisx/mcpez:
this festival looks interesting: http://www.diadelcaballo.com/
and this looks fun too: http://www.countrythrowdown.com/date/all/june_26_2011-4
chrisx:
perhaps you can put on a bike polo exhibition. do you play bike polo?
p.s. chris: if you can carry a cast iron pan, you can carry the necessary fuel or go scavenge up fuel in the bush. when you head up to SPM, you will
find big pine forests and the dead fall alone is millions of cords of firewood awaiting you. remember that only you can prevent forest fires!

Some of the best mountain bike routes SE of Ensenada are bring watched by military personnel with machine guns. They hang around the water holes
mumbling something about smugglers on horse back.

Not Much Information on Baja Norte Horse Backpacking Trips
Maybe you should contact the Rosarito Tourist Information Office.
There are always rancheros in town next to the Rosarito Beach Hotel renting out horses to ride on the beach and they do tours up into the hills where
one of Pancho Villa's Generals (according to legend) hid his loot in a cave.
You can learn a lot of interesting, allegedly historic, information on those rides.
Also, here is contact information about an American organizer of back packing trips in Baja Sur:
