Horse Pictures From Guatemala
The 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…
I agree with both of you,Kelly and Paige.These horses seem so starved,I can’t beileve my eyes.Im upset that anyone would do this to a horse.And as you said,Paige,I wonder,too.But one day mankind will be punished for it.It may seem like the right thing to do for punshing a horse,BUT COME ON!!!Thats pure abuse right there.If they can’t keep it fed and healthy,then they shouldn’t be allowed to keep one at all!
i totally see your point in this as i live here in guatemala and im not from here when i go to places and i see the horses it makes me so sad as i had a horse before i cam here but on the other hand you have to understand these people are very very poor and dont get much money at all and it is the only wat they can make a living i no it isnt an excuse but its the only way the people can survive its really sad to see here but the people dont get any oney from the government here so its all they can do its so very sad to see and be around!
