"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." - Mark Twain

Never has a quote been so true, or the irony so thick, as the year 2020. While much of the world still cowers in their homes, a few of us are living life with gusto.

Horseback riding has always been a bit of an extreme sport in that, you must try to control a 1,500 lb animal with a mind of its own. Those of us who succeed usually find ourselves hooked for life. With that looming over our heads, we usually get on a horse fully prepared to face the consequences, and brag to all our friends about it afterwards.

Dear Diary - Colombia is a Horse Enthusiasts Paradise, if you love trail riding!

Not much to tell about today. This morning I had a meeting with a potential client, then home for lunch. The rest of the afternoon was spent finishing up the following post about one of my biggest passions: HORSES!

https://openmindedtraveler.com/2020/09/16/cabalgata-horse-adventure-in-colombia/

I talk a little bit about horses and my favorite place to go riding. One of the nice things about living here is that I can actually gain access to a decent quality horse without going far or paying too much. I try to attend cabalgatas at least once a month or every other month.

As always, I am walking walking walking our dog. He came to the coffee shop with me this morning, and then we went out this afternoon with my son. He is getting much better about walking on the leash. Soon I will be reining him back to the heel position.

It is late again as I finish this and I still have to pack for traveling tomorrow. Due to my trip I will post at midday because I have to leave for my trip. Expect something fun and special!
