Bliss of London is delighted to be announcing its support for The Brooke over the coming years. The event is our way to pay a fitting tribute to Dorothy Brooke who founded the charity in 1934 by establishing a hospital for ex-war horses in a dusty Cairo street. The Brooke has become the leading international welfare charity for working equine welfare. There are currently around 100 million working horses, donkeys and mules in the developing world, transporting people and goods. All of them play an essential role in the livelihoods of an estimated 600 million people. During the course of their working lives, more than half of these animals suffer malnutrition, exhaustion, disease and injury, often compounded by a lack of accessible and affordable animal health services. These problems can be avoided. The Brooke is an international charity dedicated to improving the welfare of working horses, donkeys and mules through direct veterinary treatment and community programmes to improve animal health and well-being. The Brooke also work with individuals, institutions and governments to encourage changes to policy, benefiting the welfare of working equine animals. The Brooke’s goal is to improve the welfare of two million working horses, donkeys and mules every year, by 2016.
