Check it out! The biggest cabalgata in Colombia

[Pasofinoguy]

cool pics except for the speakers on the mule. They guys have ear plugs but not the mule

[Barbwire]

Yikes! That's a whole lotta skin!

[Linda Y]

Well, alrighty, then! Good thing those are smooth horses. Some of those girls might be embarassed! :shock:

[Brigitte]

Embarrased why? I'm sure they spent some money on that, if the horses were bouncier more attention for them :lol:

[Heidi]

Definitely looked like a bust to me.

[qltrlori]

You could put your eye out with those things. . . ;-)

[Linda Y]

Embarrased why? I'm sure they spent some money on that, if the horses were bouncier more attention for them :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Too funny! You are right...didn't think of it that way. I was just thinking of the one girl that looked dangerously close to coming out of her top! But then again, she probably wouldn't have minded at all!

[TrueStepPaso]

Ha! Brigette....you are too cute!

Thanks for posting the link.....those pics were interesting - in more ways than one :shock: - I wish stuff like that happened around here!

When was that, anyway?

[Brigitte]

I don't exactly know, in the last week maybe? It's normally always around this time. I thought the pictures were great, the mule gang, people riding steers..wow

[TrueStepPaso]

Yes....the ppl riding steers is amazing! I lingered on those pics for a while....I would LOVE to talk with those ppl about their training, the bits they use, if they trim the hooves, how much they ride.....so cool!

[ErinC]

why does it look like they shave the mane on most of the horses?

[Pasogirlz]

why does it look like they shave the mane on most of the horses?

Those are Trote Galope horses Erin. ;-)

Also, I found out in other countries many of them shave the mane and top part of the tail on mares when.

[Jose Rubero]

Every year Colombia breaks their own record, 5000 in '98, 0ver 7000 in '99 and now it looks like over 8000! I dream of being able to do a large cabalgata like that here in the U.S. PR's cabalgatas max out at approx 3500, tops.

Folks how about a 300 Paso cabalgata here in the northeast?
I think the northeast membership is just under 200, is that correct?
I firmly believe there are at least 100 non-members who keep a low profile. We need to find them and have them join up... if not as members of the PFHA or NEPFHA, at least with local events (parades and cabalgatas).

[Brigitte]

We have 45 horses max at ours

[ErinC]

OOOOOOOOOO, :oops:
OK, gotcha,

Jose you are so right, I bet we have a TON non-members .

[TrueStepPaso]

Jose......I'm in.

I will totally, 100%, absolutely ride in a cabalgata!!!! Just point me in the right direction, and I'm all over it like a cheap suit!

It would be freakin awesome!!! New England wouldn't know what to do about us!

[RR]

Well allrightythen.
I wonder what cost more, the boobies or the horses? :shock:

[Barbwire]

Jose, is it required to have a huge rack to join your little cabalgata?

[DebbieS]

Kind of reminded me of Sturgis, except with horses instead of Harleys. Much tamer though! In Sturgis, alot of the biker chicks just wear those stick-on pogs (that just cover the nipple) instead of any type garment on top :shock: That and a g-string, and they consider themselves dressed. I won't even get started on the latex pour-on clothing...... This is why my children are not allowed anywhere near Sturgis during the rally.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing the link, Brigitte!

[appyday]

I vote this thread of the day......

[baileyholc]

[sporthorse]

Yo quiero ir me a Colombia :D :runaway: /Caballlos bellas y mujeres tan hermosas tabien /The latino in me can't help but want/WOW/That cabalgata is awsome maybe one in Ocala to rival and lure Miami folks up this way. Drool. ;-)bad thing is one could get lost there for a while and no telling how long it would take to find the way back. :idea: :roll:

[ASB.Immortality]

Ok, I know I am late seeing this BUT I LOVE THE GRAY WITH THE ROACHED MANE!!!! He is just gorgeous! Where was this at?

And what exactly is a cabalgata?

[TrueStepPaso]

Colombia, and it is basically a public trail ride.....a celebration of sorts. Where's Jose Rubero.....he would school us....

[Brigitte]

Yep a cabalgata is just when lots of people get together with horses to go ride around on streets and have fun
