What of the listed charities would you donate to and why?

Prince Fluffy Kareem. They do huge amounts with very little, trying to raise the standards of welfare in a desolate place.

EMW. Another charity that works tirelessly to improve the welfare of horses and ponies in the marketplace. There is simply no other charity that does the work these guys do. To lose them from lack of funding would be utterly devastating.
 
Another for PFK - they work so hard in a very difficult country.
EMWUK - they work so hard, doing a thankless, but vital task.
WHW - because IMO they are more useful than the RSPCA.

And Blue Cross, Redwings, SPANA, and the Brooke when I can.

I can't afford to give much, but I try to do my bit.
 
EMW for sure as I have been to the sanctuary and support/follow their progress on fb. All their people give of their time and energies voluntarily. PFK also seem very worthy of support. Tbh all the ones listed are, but EMW and PFK are among the smallest and probably struggling all the more because of it. I do know that EMW are having a very hard time in the current economic climate with the price of everything going up and up, so anything I could spare would go to them every time as I know that it would make a real difference to them.
 
So you have covered horse charities but what about the riders/helpers? Please consider the Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund who help anyone in need as a result of an accident riding or around horses. I think there is not one of us who might not be at risk of needing their support.

This charity was set up by the mother of Mark Davies who was tragically killed in an eventing accident.

Do some research and see for yourself what the reserves are like of each of the charities. You can look them up on the Charities Commission website - it is very interesting!

Some of these to my mind work miracles and make every £1 work, while others seem to have um, how can I put it, quite a lot of money in the bank, and have a very limited remit as to what they actually do.

For this reason I would support WHW as it is worldwide, and EMW, for the reasons others have stated.
