Whiskey in the jungle.

09/27/2009

Today we have been out on the new farm making trails through the jungle. The wildlife here is AMAZING. We can not wait to open the tours here in Mata de Platano on December 1st. Chris has been working like crazy to get everything finished on time! Moving is never easy and whilst we are only going 15 mins down the road, when you include 12 horses, lots of rescue dogs, barns and all the rest it turns into a military operation!

Chris did find time today though to trim Whiskey who's feet have been rehabing now for over 1 year. Somehow Chris has managed to keep him completely sound which is amazing considering the photo below, this was when we pulled his shoes! The second photo was taken in April, and whilst he still has very high heels, he is looking so much better, and the third photo is this past week. The heels are gradually getting lower but it's a long road !!
