Taxi Horses Vieques Island
My Nephews came on vacation from Florence, Kentucky/Charlotte,S.C./and Orlando, Florida. I thought a Horseback Ride along Vieques Hills and Beaches would be a good Vacation Experience for all of them. So I contacted and set up a Ride the day after the 4th of July. They where so thrilled even though it rained at the beginning of their ride. Something they will talk about when they get back home and see this Video I compilated of their ride.

VIEQUES PUERTO RICO - TOUR and VLOG
Vamos a hacerlo en una playa en Puerto Rico! In this vlog, we are in search of Puerto Rico's best beaches, which brings us to Vieques. Vieques is a laidback Caribbean island off Puerto Rico's eastern coast. We take a ferry from the mainland to get there.
Vieques is known for Red Beach, a clear turquoise water beach, perfect for swimming. It's also renowned for the Bioluminescent Bay, where you can watch the ocean glow at night. It also offers secluded beaches with white sands and pristine water, wild roaming horses, and countryside.

Vieques tackles overpopulation of famous horses
(18 Jan 2017) Officials in the Puerto Rican island of Vieques are waging an unusual fight to control a tourist attraction that's become something close to a plague on the island, best known as the site of a former US military bombing range.
The tiny island is immensely popular among tourists, as visitors flock to its famed for bright turquoise waters, lush mangrove forests and picturesque free-roaming horses.
In an empty lot near the 500 US dollar-a-night W Retreat & Spa, a man with a gun is stalking some of the wild mares the island is famous for.
He slowly walks toward a group of brown and white horses, raises a pistol and fires. A brown mare kicks her hind legs and sprints away.
Richard LaDez, director of security for The Humane Society of the United States, picks up a contraceptive dart that fell from the horse's rump and gives a thumbs up to this team.
First imported by Spanish colonists, horses are used by many of Vieques' 9,000-odd residents for running errands, taking children to school, transporting fishermen to their boats, competing in informal races between teenage boys and delivering late-night drinkers back home.
They're adored by tourists, who love taking pictures of them eating mangos and frolicking on the beaches.
Many locals keep their horses in open fields near the sea, where they graze until they're needed next.
Feeding and sheltering a confined horse on an island with a median income of less than 20,000 US dollars a year is out of reach for many.
Some horses are branded, many are not and a few just run wild.
Officials say that as a result, it's nearly impossible to control the horse population and hold owners accountable when trouble occurs.
The population has grown to an estimated 2,000 animals that break water pipes to quench their thirst, knock over garbage cans in search of food and die in car crashes that have increased as tourists flock to Vieques, which grew in popularity after the US Navy shuttered military operations in the early 2000s.
Desperate, Vieques mayor Victor Emeric called the Humane Society, which agreed to launch a five-year programme of dispatching teams to the island armed with compressed-air rifles, pistols and hundreds of darts loaded with the animal contraceptive PZP.
The programme began in November and picked up speed with a two-day push by about a dozen volunteers and Humane Society employees over the Martin Luther King Day weekend.
More than 160 mares have been darted and Humane Society officials say they expect to inject virtually all the island's mares with contraceptives by the end of the year.
The programme will cost up to 200,000 US dollars a year to run and is funded entirely through donations.

This week, we take you to the bay of Vieques in Puerto Rico, where an all-natural phenomenon has become a major tourist attraction. It's called bio-luminescence and it occurs when plankton in water turn a magical electric blue, delighting tourists with a spectacle of dancing blue light. Dheepthika Laurent checks it out.
But first, we focus on the United States. The US President has fired the acting attorney general after she refused to enforce his executive order, also called the Muslim ban. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to make controversial appointments to key cabinet positions, but not without a political and public backlash.
Also this week, Canada mourned six people who were shot dead during evening prayers at a Quebec City Mosque. A French Canadian student known for his radical extreme-right views has been charged with the murders. It was a brazen and shocking attack in a country usually known for its multiculturalism and tolerance.
