Something worth seeing!

It does not matter if you are a horse person... or not. The show of movement, power, training and all that these horses and riders show is something special. Some being the best in the D.R. with other horses and rider brought in from the P.R. and South America. They fly them in for this and the rest of the season events.

I DO wonder why so many are looking for something to do and then don't do anything. lol.

The weather in Jarabacoa was great. Cool but not cold.

The Horse show had a little less turn out then normal but more then enough horses. The show started on time at 11 AM and was done at 10PM. Something that the ADOPASO people have been working on is keeping things on schedule.

This event had some of the best horses and riders that I'd seen. The best and mostly noted was the categories with the younger riders. 5 years to 18 years old is just amazing and they are not on the poney show ride! The adults that train and work with they kids are great. Watching a 10 year old handle a difficult horse, under supervision on the side, was an insperation.

Next show in S.D. in December. Thinking of riding my stallion myself just for the fun. NEVER expect a ribbon and do expect to be shown the exit. But what a ride.
