This is Cuadalquiver, the colt born two days ago at Cuadra San Francisco where I ride in Cabo. Pictured here with his mom, he spends most of his day glued to her side nursing. I was telling my friend Elisabeth Dale, who is visiting me for a few days, how in awe everyone is at the site of this baby horse bonding with his 1000 pound mother. Elisabeth got me … Read More
