All over Paraguay, even in down town Asuncion,
horse drawn carts are very common.
horse drawn carts are very common.
Sometimes we even see carts pulled by oxen. One day we were stopped at a busy intersection waiting for the traffic light to change. Next to us was a horse, alone. The horse had become separated from his cart and driver but still stopped politely at the red light.He stayed in his lane and patiently waited for the light to turn green. He then sauntered on down the avenue with the rest of us. Sadly, I had no camera on me that day!

What a well-trained horse to obey all traffic signals.
A very green form of transportion!

Great contrast!
The horse is a good idea. They use green fuel, produce a valuable by product, can produce copies of itself, and is edible when it dies.
We see those same things here. Often times a farmer has his entire herd of oxen going down the road....you can imagine what's left on the road when they're gone!
How funny and amazing that the horse would know to stop!
My Meg and Ty would love that!!=) They love horseys!
Even after so many years, it always amazes me how these poor people manage to get around and that they are totally accepted as a traffic "vehicle"! :)
I'd like to have a mule and a wagon. I see people with them up here, but mostly now they are for parades and that kind of thing.
I wish I could train my dogs that well.
How sweet! I hope he found his owners. Now you know to always have your camera with you.
wonder how much they'd want for him??
It reminds me of China in the 80s. I love seeing what you're seeing, Rita. Love it!
Wow...amazing that the horse knew to stop!
