Dear Global Strays Partner,
The main highway in Managua, Nicaragua is lined with countless horses pulling heavy carts, for up to 16 hours a day. Covered in injuries, collapsing from exhaustion, working horses are a source of livelihood for Nicragauans and they work until they die from chronic ailments, exhaustion, or both.
Do you agree, Global Strays Partner, that this is no life for a horse?
The majority of these working horses have never received veterinary care and, those who do, often receive improper care. This unfortunate reality has led to a deep distrust among horse owners. Coupled with an extreme lack of financial resources, horses and their owners have nowhere to turn…Until now.
Global Strays is re-starting our Working Horse Program in 2024, which was paused last year due to a lack of funding. But we need your help!! Partnering with Dr. Lester Tapia, renowned veterinarian in Nicaragua, we’ll provide hundreds of horses with proper veterinary care for the first time in their lives, free of charge to the horse owners.
