- Barb Preiss of La Caballeriza on Maria.
- in Weirsdale, Florida
-
- Barb graciously loaned us some Pasos for a trail
ride with her on New Year's Day 2002.
-
- Could there possibly be a better way to ring in the
New Year? What a pleasure to ride willing, smooth-gaited Pasos!
A bit of heaven on earth!

- Greg on Viajero
-
- and you can just make out John Henry's ears at the
bottom of the picture... on a trail ride near the Preiss's La
Caballeriza in Weirsdale, Florida
-
- This was quite a ride - lots of interesting scenery,
perfect weather, wonderful horses, and great riding companions.
This was only Tyler's 4th or 5th trail ride. Rose was a smooth-gaited,
reliable mount for him.

- Rose and Tyler
- at Gloria's place near Preiss's La Caballeriza
- It is quite a privilege to see this unique equestrian
facility. Two carriage museums and lots of fabulous horses are
just a part of this exclusive experience. Rose and Tyler are
pictured in front of some incredible (reproductions???) of the
famous terra cotta Chinese soldiers and their steeds. If you
ever get the chance to tour here, it is well worth the time and
effort!

- Sandy and Coral's John Henry de Vez
- near John's home in Weirsdale, Florida
-
- It is such an incredible honor to ride this stallion.
He has an impeccable gait and an even better disposition - bet
you can't guess he's my favorite Coral LaCE son! Maybe that's
why I can hardly wait for his and Deza's foal in May of this
year!

- Getting ready to ride the trails at Berry College
where you can take your choice of flat trails, logging roads,
woods, single track, and respectable hills (aka small mountains)!
-
- Note earmuffs - it was cold!

- The Gait Way in Oxford, Mississippi
-
- This is one of Julie's young geldings by her herd
stallion, Quido que tal. "Hawk" will be close to 15
hands.
-
- Julie says that even the dogs on her place gait!

- Coral's Viajero de Vez and Dr. Bill
- at the Preiss's La Caballeriza in Weirsdale, Florida
-
- Bill looks serious, but you can bet he's having a
great time! "V" is one of his favorite rides. No wonder
he has added his very own "V" son (Falcon) to his growing
herd!

|
- Dr. Bill's favorite rogue - Falcon de vez!
- At the Preiss's La Caballeriza in Weirsdale, Florida
- with John D in the saddle
-
- Too bad ol' Falcon can't move out any better than
that...
- Kidding, of course!
-
- Falcon is headed for next year's largo race and should
put up quite a respectable showing. Bill certainly hopes so -
it'll cost him a dinner if Falcon decides he'd rather coast that
day!

- Pete and niece Shannon
- at Arrowhead Paso Finos in Rome, Georgia
-
- Well, you can't spend all of your time in the saddle.
Sometimes, it's just a lot of fun to kick back and enjoy the
horses for the characters they are....

- Barb Preiss on a de Vez Paso
-
- Pure pleasure!
-
- 'Nuff said!
-
- It's why we're breeding de Vez bloodline Pasos!

- At Berry College in Rome, GA
-
- A favorite 'Kodak' shot is Possum Trot the school/church
where Martha Berry first started a school for the mountain children
of the area. Possum Trot eventually became the well-respected
Berry College located on nearly 50 square miles of land at the
foot of the Appalachian Mountains. Join us for an incredible
trek through the trails and forests of Berry!
