In 2013, the then mayor Gustavo Petro removed more than 4,000 horses from the streets of Bogotá. The horses were dedicated to dragging carts loaded with tons of waste.
A decade later, they live on farms in the region of Chocontá, an hour and a half from the Colombian capital. They are calm, mentally strong, they endure everything. As they would say in Colombia: they have a street. The Empire is the story of the horses' second life.
