Horse Ride in Mexico

Johanna and I went riding. We couldn't resist. We commissioned a two hour ride through the jungle and to a more deserted beach to go for a gallop. The horses were in very good shape and well trained. We were impressed. They did not just follow along in a line, but followed our direction and moved off the leg. My horse was a gelding named Indio and Jo's was Reboso the black stallion. I kid you not. He was as gentle as a lamb. I was told mine was a butt, but he turned out excellent after a few reminders.

  3. Way cool. Betty and I got to ride on a beach in Florida years ago. I knew you wouldn't have any trouble with a "butt" horse since you've been married to Mark for so long. ;)

  5. Look at that, I didn't even pick on Mark! I think Dan has got it figured out. He is my favorite cousin to pick on! I think it is because he dishes it out so well!
    The beach does look beautiful, not really what I think of when someone mentions Mexico.
