provide for the horses of his community,” Sapón said. “And for us, it is an avenue of communication with the communities. When a horse becomes ill and the community cannot attend to the horse, our community assessor can inform us of what’s going on and we can come to the community and support the community.” The organization also offers vet services to the horse-carriage owners who cater to tourists in La Antigua Guatemala. Part of that program includes helping the owners track the medical records of their horses “so they can see that is really helping and they can show that to the tourists,” Rodríguez said. Tourists aren’t the only ones seeing results from rural education in equine welfare. “The foundation has a positive impact,” Sapón said. “The people are already taking more care to meet the basic needs of horses, like water, feed, that they have shade and that they have a way to express their natural behavior.” Still, Sapón says there is much work to be done, such as getting horses back on the national census. With continued support, he says he is certain that ESAP will be responsible for big change in Guatemala. “We are sure that what we do is necessary and will better the country,” Sapón said. You can learn more about ESAP at its upcoming presentation in La Antigua Guatemala on September 5. It’s an invitation-only event, so contact the organization to attend: www.ESAP.com.gt
