Long before Todos Santos became a Pueblo Mágico, visitors enjoyed its historic district with art galleries, shops, farm-to-table restaurants, and rustic taco stands. And the family friendly and welcoming el Pescadero, about 45 minutes north of Cabo, has long been known as a world- class surfing destination. An oasis in the desert, it boasts the safest swimming beaches in the area and a haven from the Cabo crowds. While there has been much development in the past ten years, there are still miles of white-sand beaches, and the pueblo of el Pescadero has retained its charm, simplicity of life, and laid-back atmosphere. This issue, we’d like to share two new options for visitors to enjoy the spirit of Baja California Sur!

  • Discover Western Dressage Symposium Outline
    Discover Western Dressage Symposium Outline Introduction: Western Dressage is a new discipline for ALL horse breeds. It is open to all riders, regardless of age or background. Western Dressage combines the time tested principles of classical dressage training with western stock horse tradition, emphasizing lightness and harmony with the rider. It is a systematic and progressive system of training for the western horse and rider that results in a horse that is physically strong, balanced, supple, and flexible. This equine athlete demonstrates a calm, confident, attentive attitude and is happy to do his job. Horse and rider move as one. Western Dressage offers a gymnastic approach to the training of the young horse, or can be used to repurpose older horses from other disciplines. Correctly ridden, horses can benefit from Western Dressage training throughout their lifetime and enjoy long and active careers. Western Dressage is good for the horse, and good for the rider. It offers a better way to ride and train, with no artificial gadgets or devices. It is based on respect for the horse and a desire to work together as a team. A Western Dressage partnership should culminate in a happy, harmonious horse and rider relationship, with the horse willingly and of his own accord performing the requested gaits and maneuvers. Purpose: of the Discover Western Dressage Symposium is to facilitate the correct understanding of classical dressage principles and their application to the western horse. We will begin with an overview of the Training Scale, and move on to the Progression of Western Dressage Training. The purpose of the various movements and figures will be explained as we work up the levels.
