SPANISH HORSE FROM ANDALUSIA
MEDELLIN, Colombia – Animal and rider fancydance the paddock: curvettes, gallops, mincing sideways steps ... my skepticism about the equestrian display dissolves quickly. But not my giggles, because the announcer – stiffly intoning an English script into the mike – keeps padding the text with the observation, "this horse, Spanish horse ... from Spain."

After eight or nine repetitions, my colleague Jimi calls: "hey, what type of horse is that anyway?"

The answer rolls across the plateau with panzer-like inevitability: "Spanish horse. From Spain."
