Which would you say...

[Dogbetty141]

was the best horse charity to give too? i was thinking ILPH but i bet there are smaller more worthwhile charitys that need extra help. Im donating money instead of sending christmas cards this year.

There are so many horsey charities that are worthwile including Redwings and the Brooke Hospital for Animals

I would say SPANA
www.spana.org

A few years ago the horse and hound published detailed information about the horse charities and how much they got, and how much they were worth. It was shocking, they are mostly very very rich and have put a lot of their assets into land and houses. The donkey sanc is the richest and I personally would never give them a penny. Some of the charity workers are having a very good living indeed, new four by fours, big farm houses and very big wages.

If you ask them how much of the pound actually goes to the horses you will be very shocked.

Now air ambulance which all us riders need, donate every penny, just a though!!

Brooke is the best one in my opinion.

I donate monthly to the Brooke and give them a christmas bonus! Otherwise I think a local charity as some of the bigger ones in my opinion waste it on admin.

 

[spotty_pony]

all of them!!!

I like to donate to the smaller charities. Saying that, I donate unwanted rugs and tack as opposed to money, that way I know it's all going to use on the horses.

HAPPA

Definitly Brooke, the number of animals suffering in this country is so minuet compared to those abroad

 

[Enfys]

I would (and do) donate money to Brooke but any other horse charity I would donate in kind, as someone else said, that way you KNOW it goes to the animals not elsewhere.
I stopped giving cash when an acquaintance who was something to do with Guide Dogs for the Blind was telling us about his BRAND NEW top of the range Company car!

swep ( south west equine protection) emw (equine market watch) or trawllm farm are all small charities

We do loads of fundraising for Brooke, the horses really do need our help they only really get money from supporters. Instead of buyer friedns on the yards presents, i have bought them a gift aid of a fly fringe from Brooke this way rather than buy them someting they don't want, the money has been put towards a good cause!
