Brooke, MyHackathon and the Horse Riding App, Huufe

Brooke protects and improves the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules. Giving people in the developing world the opportunity to work their way out of poverty. Without healthy working equines, they wouldn’t be able to put food on their tables. Send their children to school or build better futures for themselves and their families.

Brooke works hard to deliver lasting change, even in some of the world’s most challenging areas. Brooke uses experts to train and support owners of horses, donkeys and mules. Along with local vets, farriers, harness makers and animal traders to improve standards of care.

Brooke is tackling the problems by:

• Showing local people within the equine owning communities how to care for their animals, offering training and tools.
• Focussing on the big picture with national and international advocacy – working with policymakers to make overarching changes to the way governments prioritise the resources dedicated to working equine welfare.
• Providing emergency veterinary treatment when appropriate, easing animals’ suffering.
• Conducting research to identify whether current work is effective, and what areas are in most need of future interventions.

How You Can Help with MyHackathon

Brooke relies on donations to continue their fantastic work with working equines. This is where you can make a difference and improve lives all around the world from your saddle. Join #MyHackathon and raise £100 for Brooke.

Fundraising tip:

• When asking friends and family for sponsorship let them know how their money can help.
• Set up a sponsored ride with friends.
• Have a bake sale at your stables.

What your money provides:

• £8 could equip an owner with an emergency response kit to ease the suffering of their working animal.
• £18 could train a saddler to ensure a whole community’s animals benefit from well-made saddles. Preventing back problems and painful wounds.
• £30 could support women’s groups to understand and care for their horses and donkeys better.
