Thanks to YOU, we’ve surpassed our Giving Day goal — but our mission doesn't stop here. Together, we raised $14,156 and matched $10,000 thanks to the generosity of Vicky and Eric Busch. That means that we raised $24,156 in a single day!

From the frail war horse that sparked a movement, to the donkeys still working today in the world’s harshest conditions, we carry forward the vision of Dorothy Brooke — a woman who saw suffering and chose to act.

“If only they could have just a few years of peace and grass and kindness — how they would love it.” – Dorothy Brooke

With every donation, you give working equines the kindness they deserve and the respite Dorothy dreamed of nearly a century ago. 🧡

Let’s keep the compassion flowing — for them, and for her legacy.

The Horse That Changed the World

In 1930, Dorothy Brooke moved to Cairo and saw something she could never forget: a skeletal, broken-down horse pulling a heavy cart through the streets. His name was Old Bill—a former British war horse left behind after WWI.

Once brave and battle-hardened, Old Bill had been sold into a life of hard labor, like thousands of others. Dorothy was heartbroken. She saw the pain in his eyes and vowed to act.

She wrote a powerful letter to the British press—and the world responded. With their help, Dorothy rescued more than 5,000 war horses, including Old Bill, giving them peace and dignity.

In 1934, she founded the Old War Horse Memorial Hospital in Cairo, which evolved into what we now know as Brooke, Action for Working Horses and Donkeys—and here in the U.S., Brooke USA carries on her mission.

Old Bill’s story sparked a global movement.

We are honored to share that The Donkey Girls, from Charlotte in honor of her mother Isabella, have made a $5,000 donation to Brooke USA. Charlotte, one of our cherished Equine Friends, made this incredible gift in celebration of Dorothy Brooke’s enduring legacy — to provide kindness and alleviate suffering for the world’s most vulnerable working equines.

This meaningful donation reminds us of Dorothy’s own words:

“If only they could have just a few years of peace and grass and kindness — how they would love it.”

From all of us at Brooke USA, thank you, Charlotte, for your compassion and generosity. Your support helps us carry Dorothy’s mission forward — one donkey, mule, and horse at a time. 🧡

Our Story

Brooke USA’s Mission Is To Significantly Improve The Welfare Of Working Horses, Donkeys And Mules And The People They Serve Throughout Asia, Africa, The Middle East And Latin America By Raising Funds And Responsibly Directing Them To The Areas Of Greatest Need.

Through the programs we fund, Brooke USA helps equine owners, service providers and governments in the developing world to implement scientifically-proven, practical, sustainable and culturally relevant solutions to enormous animal welfare challenges.

Brooke USA raises funds to support a wide variety of programs for working horses, donkeys and mules to help them become (and remain) healthy and happy now and in the long-term, which also benefits the very poor families who depend on those animals to help them earn a living.

Making a difference in the lives of these animals benefits the very poor families who depend on them to earn a living.
