I became involved with World Horse Welfare two and a half years ago now when I came across the horrific live transportation of horses, donkeys and mules to slaughter in Europe.
I was lucky enough to be able to give a home for life to a horse that was destined for slaughter but before that he was due to be travelled from France to Italy in terrible conditions, in a lorry with no partitions, no food/water and no stops. Mares with foals at foot, mares in foal and stallions etc are all travelled together with fights breaking out as you can imagine. Many horses arrive at the abattoirs sick, dehydrated, exhausted and injured, some fatally. World Horse Welfare have been working tirelessly to try and stop around 100,000 horses enduring unnecessary long distance journeys to slaughter in europe and I would like to do all I can to help them achieve this.
What I saw and learnt has had a huge impact on me and been my drive to raise money for World Horse Welfare, a very worthy charity.
My aim is raise at least £500 and survive the task I have undertaken which for me is a huge one to say the least!!
