Brooke is an international animal welfare charity helping working horses, donkeys and mules in the world’s poorest communities. There are over 100 million working equines in the world, supporting the livelihoods of 600m people. It’s estimated that more than half suffer from exhaustion, dehydration and malnutrition as a result of excessive workloads and limited animal health services, but the Brooke believes this can be avoided. It works with owners, communities, governments and international organisations to make lasting improvements to animal welfare, and also provides veterinary treatment.
