The Guatemalan Endurance Riders: A team you can be proud of

I recently had the pleasure of accompanying the Guatemalan Endurance Team to the World Equestrian Games in the United States. Five riders, grooms, family members and technical support people made the long journey to Kentucky. Forty one people in total. Over the past year and a half I have seen these riders and their trusty mounts train tirelessly for this event overcoming obstacles along the way separating themselves out as the elite Endurance riders of Guatemala.  

As an American my sense of patriotism towards my home in the U.S. was strong as I arrived at the Kentucky Horse Park.  The grounds were perfectly manicured and the excitement of

The FNL came to town

The riot police took up their positions early in the morning, with ten black uniformed troopers on the steps of Antigua's City Hall. Two had shot-guns fitted with gas canisters and one carried an AK-47.  A block away, north on 4th Calle, four more took up their positions. They wore new fiberglass shin guards, into which they stuffed their shiny new crowd control batons (billyclubs). Several were women, and all were dressed in the black uniforms of the PNC, the Policia Nacional Civil. The central park was cordoned off with yellow plastic tape and the favored black crew-cab Toyota pickups of the PNC covered all angles. The chop-chop
