Galloping into the Future: Save Nigeria's Horses

We are excited to share the first update on our project dedicated to protecting and preserving horses in Nigeria. Across communities, these animals remain vital to cultural identity, local economies, and traditional livelihoods. Yet, many continue to suffer from neglect, poor veterinary access, and shrinking grazing lands.

With your support, we are laying the foundation for impactful change.

Our team has begun early-stage coordination with local stakeholders, including equestrian groups, rural farmers, and animal welfare advocates, to identify the most vulnerable horses and communities in need. Initial field assessments reveal urgent demand for veterinary care, vaccinations, disease prevention, and proper nutrition—key components to improving horse health and reducing mortality rates.

We are also designing targeted interventions focused on:

• Animal rescue and welfare support for neglected and at-risk horses
• Sustainable agriculture and grazing management to combat habitat loss
• Community education and awareness campaigns to promote humane treatment and cultural preservation
• Livelihood support programs for families who depend on horses for farming and transport
• Conservation and breeding initiatives to protect indigenous horse species and biodiversity

This project directly aligns with critical global priorities, including animal protection, sustainable development, poverty reduction, climate resilience, and cultural heritage preservation. By improving horse welfare, we are also strengthening food security, economic stability, and environmental sustainability in underserved communities.

However, we cannot do this alone.

Right now, we still have $188,000 remaining and urgently need your support to begin full-scale implementation. Your donation—no matter the size—will help provide life-saving veterinary services, support conservation efforts, and empower communities to care for these animals sustainably.
