Here is Christina Ring, the Director of Education for Fundación Galo Plaza Lasso in Ecuador, with one of her students. Christina's summer horseback riding course instilled confidence, discipline, team work, responsibility, and joy in the children and teens who came to Hacienda Zuleta from miles around. The culminating event thrilled parents and visitors who watched as the children galloped onto the plaza of the Hacienda. See our Projects page to learn more!
