BARRY AND CAPOEIRA ON RANGE

LA BEBA HEADS 'EM UP

AND MOVES 'EM OUT

NEVER SAY YOU CAN'T WORK CATTLE ON A PASO!!!
LA BEBA IS ON THE JOB.
We have another mare with so much "cow" that she pins her ears and attacks when she sees a bovine.
A friend had an Appie/Paso cross that jumped a barbed wife fence to head a cow-- with her rider. EEE-HAH!





SANDY AND VISTOSO GET READY TO RIDE






WHO'S HEADING WHO? PANDA AND BABY "ARETHA" HEAD TO HEAD

 


RANCHO VILASA HAS BLOSSOMED SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE:
Our round pen is almost invisible behind flowers and foliage.



YOU CAN'T SEE THE CORRALS FOR THE TREES

 


THE GRAPE COVERED MAIN BARN
We've discovered how to get that trendy, funky "New Mexico" look: don't paint your barn! Patch the stucco and don't paint it! Pretty soon, your place will very very chic! Actually-- we're painting as soon as we can agree on a color.

 


VILASA COMIN' THROUGH THE REDWOODS
You'd swear you were in Mendocino, the redwoods have done so well!

 


PANDA, ONE OF THE NOBLE AND LOYAL
RANCHO VILASA DOGS.



UNCLE EDDIE AND HIS TWO BOYS, SHAMBHO AND TECOLOTE
Sandy Nathan's favorite horse, Eddie, has been "laid off" while Sandy recuperates from her knee replacement. He's taken over baby-sitting duties for weanlings, Chamber and Tecolote. The three are a sweet trio: Uncle Eddie takes his duties seriously, protecting his charges. Here, Tony and Vilasa stop to say hello on their way out to the trails.



ONE HAPPY MAN: BARRY NATHAN ON CAPOEIRA BSN
Still ridin' after all these years.
