Brooke Hospital For Animals - Mongolia Horse Trek Challenge · 6 June 2009 ·

Brooke, Action For Working Horses and Donkeys is the world’s largest working equine welfare organisation. We make both immediate and long-term changes to transform the health and welfare of hardworking horses, donkeys and mules to give them a life worth living.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In June I'll be trekking 200km on horseback across a remote mountain range in Mongolia, spending up to 8hrs in the saddle a day and living in very basic conditions in order to raise money for the Brooke Hospital for Animals.

The Brooke benefits not only 700,000 animals but their owners too, in some of the poorest countries in the world.

Brooke's work shows that an average of five to six people are dependent on each working animal because extended families rely on the income generated through a working animal.  In this way, the Brooke helps support the livelihoods of around 43 million people.

50p could pay for four hoof picks to help keep hooves free from dirt and infection

£20 could pay for ten boxes of painkillers to relieve horses and donkeys suffering from the pain of leg or hoof problems

£40 could pay for a vet for a day who will treat sick and injured horses and donkeys, and educate their owners

Any donation however small would be appreciated for this very worthy cause.  As you can see from the above figures a little can go a long way.
So please sponsor me now! 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Brooke Hospital For Animals gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
