Don Pedro's family worked 9 months out of the year on a remote Ranch called “El Volcancillo” a dairy farm operation.  The only way to get there in the old days was either by walking or riding a horse.  They had to go across dangerous canyons and cliffs and it took them around 7–8 hours to get there.

My grandfather had a horse named  "Estrella”, when I was a small child, I had to walk to get to the ranch because I was afraid that the horse would fall down the cliffs.  My grandfather was concerned that I had to walk such a long distance, and he insisted for me to ride his horse and he would say, "I would never put you  danger, it is true that some horses are brave, but if you can trust me, I will let you ride my gentle beautiful horse “Estrella” and if you like the way he rides, I will give it to you".

I did not hesitate and I put myself in my grandfather’s hands and I rode his horse “Estrella”.  The ride was very smooth and Estrella was so careful walking through the narrow paths that I enjoyed my first horse ride to my unforgettable grandfather’s ranch.

Every time I went to visit my Grandfather again, the horse came to me and pushed me with his head asking me to ride him again.
