Since that first time I must confess to having become somewhat addicted to riding at the Casa de Campo Ranch and have become a regular face there. It is a place that I have learned not only how exciting horses and horse riding is as a hobby, but also what a wonderful people Dominicans are. I write this article as a tribute to the hard working and incredibly friendly staff of the Ranch, who made a child\u2019s dream come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow me to introduce you to some of the most fascinating people I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casadecampoliving.com\/2009\/09\/the-dude-ranch-the-vaqueros-and-the-horses\/dsc01381\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5694\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC01381-150x150-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"DSC01381\" class=\"wp-image-5694\" title=\"DSC01381\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First off, as you enter the Ranch is Clara. She is everything that a receptionist should be; beautiful, helpful, highly intelligent and charismatic. She also speaks English with such a skill and fluency that I can only hope to achieve with Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have paid, you are then passed on to the \u201cVaqueros\u201d as I fondly know them. These people like the horses that they so lovingly look after have a wide range of personalities and riding styles, each one unique, but they are &nbsp;united in giving the best customer service possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miguel is easy to spot, being quiet possibly the tallest gentleman I\u2019ve ever seen. Miguel handles himself, and the horses, with a grace and elegance that belies his height. He is the \u201cspeedster\u201d of the group and the master of the fast canter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casadecampoliving.com\/2009\/09\/the-dude-ranch-the-vaqueros-and-the-horses\/dsc01379-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5695\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC013791-150x150-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"DSC01379\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" title=\"DSC01379\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rafael is the \u201cTeacher\u201d a man of gentle nobility and openness. Soft spoken and infinitely patient, you can recognize him by his quick smile. It was he that led me through my first horse riding experience and has been an excellent help in my skills ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casadecampoliving.com\/2009\/09\/the-dude-ranch-the-vaqueros-and-the-horses\/dsc01371\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5696\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC01371-150x150-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"DSC01371\" class=\"wp-image-5696\" title=\"DSC01371\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lentigua is the explorer of the team and also a master leatherworker. He can be easily identified by his quick, intelligent eyes. Many a pleasurable hour has been passed in his company exploring new paths and listening to his discussions about the Dominican Republic<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casadecampoliving.com\/2009\/09\/the-dude-ranch-the-vaqueros-and-the-horses\/dsc01338-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5698\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC013381-150x150-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"DSC01338\" class=\"wp-image-5698\" title=\"DSC01338\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wilson is the singer of the Vaqueros. Just look for the sunglasses and baseball cap and you\u2019ll know that Wilson with his ever present cheerfulness is hidden behind. He is the master of the slow canter and has taught me how to enjoy a smooth ride \u2013 and be able to walk the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/margarito-150x150-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"margarito\" class=\"wp-image-6325\" title=\"margarito\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Margarito is a man of patience and humor.

No article would be complete without a mention of the man I like to think of as \u201cEl Jefe\u201d the man whom I often see in the distance and the leader of this inspirational team. I will always remember him for the elegance and skill in which he handles the horses and for the humililty he displayed when I thanked him for the excellent service that I have received.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving-wp.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2009\/09\/me-n-e-karl.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/me-n-e-karl-150x150-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"me n e karl\" class=\"wp-image-6334\" title=\"me n e karl\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the Horses, well that is another story indeed.
