A Message from Petra Ingram, Brooke's Chief Executive

“It gives me great pleasure to be the Chief Executive of the Brooke. It’s a very exciting opportunity to be part of an organisation that is making a real difference to the lives of so many hundreds of thousands of working equine animals across the world and the poor people who depend on them. We recognise there are many more animals to reach and the Brooke is working hard to deliver an even greater impact over the next few years, and I am working closely with our teams across the world to achieve this.


I am committed to animal welfare and have been involved with horses for most of my life. In addition, I have worked in international development for many years now, which has helped me to understand the challenges people face in the world’s poorest communities. I bring together my passion and experience to lead the Brooke in its mission to improve the welfare of working horses and donkeys in the developing world."
