What we do
Brooke works with communities across the world to transform the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules. We drive lasting improvements in animal health and welfare through action, advocacy and education.
Every day, over 100 million working horses, donkeys and mules provide vital support to an estimated 600 million people, in some of the poorest places in the world.

- Direct work with communities, vets and animal healthcare workers to improve animal health and welfare

- Vital research that helps us understand what working animals need to thrive
- Providing free learning materials and courses for animal healthcare professionals.
