Farm Transportation

Transportation!!!
Since so much is agricultural here transportation is a mix of livestock and motorized vehicles.
The saddles here are so cool. They have a lot of ties so you can keep all of the gear you may need throughout the day tied onto your saddle. They also have their own kind of design. You can have a custom saddle made for $800 dollars here compared to $5,000.00 in the US. If I only had my horses wither and barrel measurements I would love to do that-- what a deal!!!!
Photo1 of course is an example of a saddle.
 
Photo2 wow the way they transport horses, pigs, cows, etc... Is crazy. This trailer just went through town. There is manure on the floor of it -- so wild!!! We went to a horse show the other day and 4 horses were loaded into the back of a flatbed with just square iron tubing going around the sides. The horses heads were all looking around at the scenery -- and for those of you that are like me-- my first thought was NO FLY MASK!!! I could never do that without a fly mask on my horse. Haha!!!
 
 
 
Photo3. I love all of the various ways of moving things from village to town. 
 
 

On a side note-- wow 27 days with Kirk and we are still having fun together 😄 That is a good thing!!!!
Except he does not excersize so I have not been either and my new name for our trip is -- gaining weight around Nica. Haha. I am going to make him power walk with me through the cemetery today. Granada has the most awesome cemetery !!!
