Sorry dude, you got the wrong dress code for this neck of the woods. Just so happened my weekend at Pinar Dorado they had a horse show. I don't remember the breed of the horses but I do know those horses eat better than I do. It was a spectacular event to see. Everything was held on the grounds of Pinar Dorado.

Those are called Paso Fino. Parades of dozens at a time with their riders in their finery, following a truck playing loud music, are common here.

When the Jarabacoa Country Club is finishes it will become the equestrian center for the region with a professional ring, grandstands, stables and parking for the big rigs that bring horses.

And, yes, Jarabacoa is indeed beautiful, IMO overall the nicest town in the entire country on many levels. Course I'm biased. I live here...:classic:

That's it, Paso Fino. They are some fine looking horses. I would be afraid to ask what one would cost. At Pinar Dorado there is a very large open grass area where the horses were kept before the show. The grooming, the time the trainers spent with the horses was something else to see.

I have to agree with you CB, Jarabacoa is a very nice town. Out of all my trips to the DR my time spent in Jarabacoa always ranks among the best.

Men and their horses go so far as to eat lunch together.

Do what folks here, including us, do: Join the country club and the golf club.

There isn't much land here suitable for a golf course. And the construction cost of a golf course here, excluding land, is about US$100,000 per hole.

We have joined the Country Club but not the Golf club.

I do not know if it really necessary to have two golf clubs in Jarabacoa, its not a big town, easy to go around.

The one golf course only has 9 holes.

And we're lucky to have that considering the terrain.

The Jarabacoa Golf Club is the only mountain golf course in the Antilles, I'm told.

I don't think so.

The GM told us they have had a heckuva time getting any innerweb service there and Banda Ancha was bad.
