About Me
- - Mexican Trailrunner
- Lago Chapala, Jalisco
- I have wanted to live in Mexico ever since the first time I set a flip-flop outside a VW Bus, on a beach in Baja, in 1968. I will live in this great country, among these warm and friendly people, until I gurgle my last breath and they scatter my ashes into the Bahía Tenacatita.

This handy - and potentially lifesaving - reference book will take you from making the call for help with the authorities to conversing with the paramedics, doctors, and nurses to ensure you receive appropriate medical care.

Lol! Thanks for the fun video, but did the opposite of your advice. I had to turn the volume DOWN! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. How do they get them to do that?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog very much.
Thank you. I have no idea how they train, but it seems to be dressage. The horses respond to very clandestine signals from the riders hands, knees, feet, and whatever else. Good dressage riders are very skilled.
ReplyDeleteHere's a YouTube of one of the best I've ever seen. Cut and paste:

That is good. I've never seen that before here in the States. Fun to watch, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this fab video! Even the horses look like they're having fun!
ReplyDeleteI watched them train. It is not dressage. They whip the horses legs and the horses are broken in spirit and just trying to avoid pain... there is nothing hidden here, they are being spurred and and jerked in the mouth. It is nothing but cruel, brainless stupid heartless barbarism...the worst horsemanship on the planet. Mexicans should not be allowed to own horses. They do not deserve them. I saw a ruined Mexican Dancing stallion this week. What a beautiful animal and what a waste. Take this horrid video down.
