of good work to promote many varied equestrian sports and activities -

| As the
name suggest the ILPH are truly international, but surprisingly they
still have to do a lot of rescue work for starved, ill-treated
and abandoned horses in the Developed Nations such as the UK and the
USA.They
also run campaigns against the transportation of live animals for
slaughter, and operate a re-homing scheme for rescued horses.

Brooke helps thousands of working horses, donkeys and mules, and
those who depend upon them in some of the poorest areas of the world.
Emphasis is placed upon educating and training the people who rely on
the animals, to improve both health and welfare over the short and the
long-term. One of their latest projects is to provide mobile
veterinary services in some of the poorest parts of Ethiopia.

THE BROOKE

| The
newest branch of the ILPH, based in Lansing, Michigan, USA. Larry and
Marika Heuer have given up their lives (almost!) to try and establish a
presence for the ILPH in America. They are operating on a very tight
budget, with great plans to build and extend a rescue centre for
neglected horses, not just in Michigan, but throughout the USA (they helped with the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina a few years back).
We
really applaud their efforts and certainly appreciated the hospitality
and friendliness they afforded us during our visit, and we would like
to do all we can to help them in return. Please donate what you can to
these guys, and if you can leave them a note to say you read about them
from your friends at HorseQuest USA, they'd like to know about it!
