New Years Eve

Loving this big guy!  He's 17 years old and very gentle.  Might be the one I will ride down the road.


Jorge (the resident Gaucho) showing off his riding skills.  What a ham!


In Argentina when they have a BBQ it's called an Asado.  Jorge, who is the main gaucho at the ranch prepared the Asado and cooked a rack of goat.  This was heavily salted (heart attack on a stick)!  We didn't eat until approx. 10:30 pm.  Sitting around the fire sipping on sparkling apple cider was an experience I will always remember.  Jorge's sister joined us and thanks to my IPad and google translate we had a wee bit of conversation.  Fireworks went off all around us at midnight sending a flock of parrots soaring over top of us.  The horses were a little restless as well.  Poor babies!


Some of the crowd.  Here is another Jorge (a friend visiting from San Martin de Los Andes), Esther (one of Ginny's assistants), Ginny and Sky (Ginny's daughter).
