Why your miles matter
Today the battlefields look different, but the need for compassion remains the same.
Around the world, 100 million horses, donkeys and mules work in some of the harshest environments.
By taking part in 11 Miles to Remember, you're turning remembrance into action. Every mile you move and every pound you raise will help Brooke provide veterinary care, welfare support and protection to working horses, donkeys and mules who need it most.
Together, we can honour the animals who served in the past and help build a better future for those still working alongside people today.

Every Horse Remembered
11 Miles to Remember is part of our annual Every Horse Remembered campaign.
Each November Brooke takes time to honour and reflect on the heroic struggle of working horses, donkeys and mules of the past and present, and help build better lives for future generations.
In 1930 our founder, Dorothy Brooke, discovered thousands of former British war horses left suffering in Egypt - abandoned and too costly to send home.
The sight of these horses shook Dorothy to her core, prompting her to establish the Old War Horse Memorial Hospital to ensure they were treated with care, respect and compassion.
