​our Mission

Since 2015, Galápagos Horse Friends has rescued and cared for abandoned horses on Santa Cruz Island. In 2024 we became an officially registered NGO in Ecuador, strengthening our commitment to lasting impact. Our mission is to give these animals a safe and dignified life while protecting the fragile ecosystem of the Galápagos. Through rescue, education, conservation and community engagement, we transform horses into living ambassadors of compassion and coexistence.
