The Brooke Hospital For Animals
There are 100 million equines working worldwide, earning an income that around 600 million people rely on to put food on their tables and send their children to school. These animals are suffering from exhaustion, malnutrition and disease as a result of poor health and welfare resources.
Brooke works with owners, communities, local health providers and policy makers to create both immediate and long-lasting improvements to the lives of working animals and their owners.
Horses and donkeys collecting rubbish in a New Delhi slum, India
From brick kilns and coal mines, to villages impacted by drought and extreme poverty, working horses, donkeys and mules are the backbone of communities and provide a vital contribution to economies, but are suffering from injury, malnutrition and disease.
Brooke works hard to deliver significant and lasting change, even in some of the world’s most challenging areas. We use our expertise to train and support owners of horses, donkeys and mules, local vets, farriers, harness makers and animal traders to improve standards of care.
