Our events

The Brooke plans high-profile events throughout the year to influence positive welfare improvements for working horses, donkeys and mules.

The expert meeting ‘Alleviating poverty through working equine welfare’ , brought together institutions and sector specialists to discuss how to increase impact by working more closely with international development organisations. The event was chaired by Dr Andrea Gavinelli of the European Commission.

The Brooke also organised the Sixth International Colloquium on Working Equids, focusing on the theme, 'Learning from others’. Hosted in India, it brought together 60 organisations from 32 countries in a 4-day programme.

The Brooke is also working with the FAO to raise the profile of working animals and push for global standards on working animal welfare
