Islagringo and some lovely flesh flesh as well ;-) Mexican Tailrunner - sorry to read about those brutalized cows - I am a bull fight fan however and have taken a LOT of flak for that. I figure they are given a fighting chance which is more than they get at the slaughter house - but then we are vegetarians. ;-) Tancho – Gracias Hombre

Good story too, always thought that Arab given to Reagan was a stunner. Although I'm a horse person and a fan of all things equine, I'll probably not ever go to a charreada again. They pulled the last 6 inches of a cow's tail OFF in the last one I went to in Guad! They also broke a calf's leg, thats when I left. Accckkk. But the Escarramusas were awesome!!! Good post and pics, thanks! Such good photos, John. Good story too, always thought that Arab given to Reagan was a stunner.

I loved this post and the pictures. I grew up riding horses, and Honduras, at least where I live, is horse country. One day, I hope to have a small place in the hills outside of the capital and have a hay burner or two. Amazing. I loved this post and the pictures.

I was surprised to see the Charro carrying the American Flag. Interesting seeing all the different types of tack on the horses. I was surprised to see the Charro carrying the American Flag.
