Cara enters quarantine for Canada.

Mated to Vallon De oro

Still bearing complications of Peru

Almost 5 years down the track, my trip to Peru, still bearing the scars.
Blood clots obtained in Peru through altitude, still mystifies the doctors.
From time to time i still feel the effects of the pulmonary embolism, and it knocks you completely.
i have been told to rest up for a few days, no stress, well i do not know how i can dodge that, and try to keep off the computer.
Well, i am resting.
For those contemplating going to Peru, please be careful, the altitude is something to consider, and know where some english speaking hospitals are before you go.
I thought having a physical and been given the all clear was enough.
But ending up in a hospital, that no one speaks english, is not a great position to be in, when delivered by ambulance, attached to drips, and oxygen and no one at the hospital knows why.
But most of all, please have travellers insurance, because without that, the hospital was going to through myself and my daughter on the streets of lima, unless i put up $US20,000 cash up front, as a deposit.
I just do not carry that type of money !!!!!!!
be careful if travelling in Peru

Now time to harvest

When we were in canada, everywhere the ice was melting, and there were huge amounts to melt.
The paddocks were like oceans of water, and when you come from a country that seems to be eternally in drought to see this much water is just amazing, but now a few months later, we receive this picture from Tannis, to show that the paddock opposite her front gate, which was just like a lake, is now ready to harvest.
How amazing.

Some more of Elyses Handy work

This is one of our handling areas.

This is the handling yards, the back garden, and the new cria paddock.
They have all worked hard as you can see.
