The team from World Horse Welfare’s in-country partner, SABE, received an urgent call to rescue two horses and a foal who had become stranded in the mountains near the volcano after fleeing their home following the eruption.

We need your help to provide urgent veterinary care and feed to hundreds of horses severely affected by the eruption.

Communities in Guatemala have been devastated by the eruption of the Fuego volcano. Many lives have been lost and hundreds of people are missing with lava, rocks and toxic fumes destroying homes, livelihoods and vital food sources.

Ash from the volcano has travelled as far as 40km and is 3-5cm deep in many areas, covering and coating acres of crops which provide the main source of income for these rural communities, as well as essential food for humans and animals alike.

The area surrounding the Fuego volcano is home to hundreds of working horses which are depended upon for transporting goods and people. As a result of the eruption, these horses now have no choice but to eat contaminated food and many are in urgent need of veterinary care to treat eye infections and respiratory problems caused by the dust and ash.
