We just returned from Acapulco Mexico and found the questions odd. Horseback riding would have been something we considered because my daughter loves them but the only horses around were the cart pullers and they look sick so no one touches them. What would they do if you did go horseback riding or visit cattle?

Horses would be mostly bug carried diseases from mosquitoes, fleas or ticks. They carry malaria, Lyme disease, Yellow fever... But the current buzz is probably about the latest strain of West Nile Virus for Mexican horses.
Cattle is the same bugs, but also fungus and foot and mouth disease.
