Horse Pictures From Guatemala

Guatemalan FlagThe horse is part of a working society in Guatemala, used for agricultural farming, transportation and pleasure riding and tourism. The people share a strong history of horsemanship and utilitarian love of the equine animal.

The horse is also used to celebrate fiestas which feature drunken horse races. Riders navigate a track as they continue to take drinks of alcohol, the goal is to remain on your animal (and upright).

Horse in Spanish is: Caballo

    they have horses in this country but i don’t know how as they appear not to have any horse feed. you should never ask an animal to work for you or keep one if the only way you can do this is with all of its bones showing and hio bones sticking out.

    Agreed Kelly, all of the horses pictured here are quite skinny…and I choose my images carefully. It is a sad fact that in many countries horses are used as beasts of burden and kept under conditions that are really abusive.

    Many of the South American cultures share a healthy respect for the equine animal, but unfortunately as you make your way into Central America and Mexico animals in general are less respected by society.

    Although, I see pictures of starving and abused horses every day from right here in the US. So I wonder if we can ever claim to be better to our animals…
