WOW...now THOSE are some show photos (hard to watch five rows like that all at once!! ) totally awesome and lots more pictures of Ramon. The women galloping in the costume class...was that the Peruvian class?

Now, you are SOOOOO lucky to have Jimmy there as a trainer! He's so good with the horses! So the gelding was trained by Jimmy too? Hmmmm, he will be a VERY nice horse for someone wanting to show.

Very nice job!!!

Those drawings are awesome!

the girls in costume were on paso finos. they might have been martha coolidge's horses. as for the drawings, i wish i could take credit for that. they're photos of my filly edited with a microsoft program. 8-)

I keep trying and it keeps locking up on me so I have to reboot. Did this last time I went to drool at the Buckskin too. I'll keep trying.

[JennLM]

Finally made it. I had to shut down everything else running and wait for it all to upload. Worth the wait! Awesome pics! Thanks so much for helping us bridge the void of not being able to go. 8-)

Gee...I'm losing patience waiting for them to download...

I noticed quite a few of the same bloodlines I have on my place on their website...Santana del Cardo, El Picaflor de Casta, Pegasus Dos de Estaban...

Nice ponies...great trainer!!

I can't get them to load -- darn my slow internet connection!

[da]

i apologize that the pictures will load for some and not for others so i'm not sure about a solution. would you guys like it better if i put half the pictures up??? i'm not much of a computer guru :cry:

[CarolU]

I'm just guessing that the pictures are full resolution when loaded, and then the scrolling program takes up space too. For those who want to see them, I suggest turning off the music (that eats up bandwidth) and then go do something else while it loads.

In the future Ed, you might reduce the size of all the pictures you're going to upload to about 2" wide and 72 dpi. That should make them about 20kb each, and then, even with 30 of them, you're still only talking 600 kb, which will load pretty fast.

Hey Carol - what is the Ramon you are referring to's last name?

[pnalley]

Da,
Would you tell me what program and how those drawings were created. I REALLY like them. But it doesn't hurt that you have a great subject! The mare is awesome, and the rider can throw a leg over my horses anytime :D

[da]

thank you and i promise i won't tell Elio's wife!! :lol:

the microsoft program is called digital imaging or something like that. there are so many creative things you can do with the photos. that's how i made the logo of claudia too.

and carol, yes, the pics i loaded are pretty big. i'll reload tonight with smaller ones and see if that helps. thanks for the info!!

Centauress, Ramon's last name is Becera.

[Centauress]

OMG I've got video of him - he ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cindy]

He's a real sweetheart too.

[CarolU]

Kim, Lori uploaded a video of him doing the Doma Vaquero when at Gold Cup last summer. It's really awesome. He does everything from that classic dance to clown routines where his paint horses lie down and ropes over them. He is a true Californio Vaquero in every sense of the word.

Inspiring to watch.

[Centauress]

I have video of him doing that and riding Bo Derek's black Andalusian stallion bareback with no bridle. He is unbelievable.... :love
