Danny McNab's Roatan Horses

Getting his horses to the Island was not an easy task!

 

Danny's father , Bob McNab, and his uncle Felix Bodden, used to swim horses out 200 ft. from the shore in La Ceiba to meet a fishing boat that would then, pull them in. The process involved two men in a skiff who would run a line from the 70-ft fishing vessel to shore where the horse would be strapped. Swimming, with one man holding the horse's head above water, the horse would arrive at the boat and be hoisted with a winch onto the vessel.
