Empowering Equines. Empowering People. They can have a life worth living with our help.

Brooke USA works directly by funding partners to do whatever will most improve the welfare of working horses, donkeys and mules through the alleviation of existing suffering and the development of equine welfare practices and facilities to prevent and reduce suffering in the future. Our vision is a world in which working horses, donkeys and mules are free from suffering, and better able to support the people who depend on them in the world's poorest communities. Brooke USA delivers practical programs and provides support, advice, funding and infrastructure to its global network of employees, partners and supporters to make that vision a reality -- all funded by our generous donors.

🎃🐴 A little Halloween fun with a whole lot of heart!

What a fantastic day at Poloween in Ocala! Our Equine Friends had a wonderful time meeting visitors, posing for photos, and helping introduce the community to the Brooke USA mission.

A big thank-you to everyone who stopped by, spent time with our team, and helped make the day so special. We are also grateful to Sapphire Selfies and Funky Unicorn for sponsoring the photo booth and adding to the festivities! 📸

Events like these are a wonderful way to bring people together, spark conversations about equine welfare, and raise awareness for the horses, donkeys, and mules who work so hard around the world. 🧡

Thank you, Poloween, for having us. We loved being part of the celebration!

A little love note from Nevada. 🧡

When wildfires tore through northern Nevada this summer, Brooke USA donors stepped up—raising $16,000 to help equines, other livestock, and the families who depend on them.

Your generosity provided emergency hay, veterinary care, and materials to rebuild fencing and corrals destroyed by the fires. Among those receiving help was Teru Langsdale and her animals.

The Bug Fire burned roughly 80% of her 54-acre property, destroying her hay barn, 40 bales of hay, outbuildings, and perimeter fencing. Her 4-year-old Morgan, Bandit, also developed ulcers from the stress of evacuation. Brooke USA was able to help with replacement hay and Bandit’s veterinary care.

Teru wrote: “I am deeply grateful for your financial support and your dedication to helping horses and their owners during catastrophic disasters.”

This is what your generosity makes possible. When disaster strikes, you help ensure that animals—and the people who depend on them—aren’t left behind. 🧡

Thank you for helping us be there when they need us most.

We are grateful for another member of congress , Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) as the newest co-sponsor of the Ejiao Act (H.R. 5544).

Thank you, Rep. Thanedar, for standing with Brooke USA and adding your voice to the growing bipartisan support for this important legislation.

The Ejiao Act would help stop U.S. markets from contributing to the cruel donkey hide trade that fuels the production of ejiao, protecting donkeys and the families and communities around the world who depend on them.

With 22 Members of Congress now supporting the bill, including lead sponsor Rep. Don Beyer and bipartisan leaders such as Rep. Greg Steube, we are building important momentum for change.

Thank you to every Member who is standing up for donkeys and the people whose lives depend on them.

When disaster strikes, a bridge can be a lifeline.

In partnership with the EQUUS Foundation, Brooke USA Foundation provided a Bridge Grant to Hidden Acres Rescue for Thoroughbreds in Cocoa, Florida, following the devastating impact of Hurricane Milton.

The storm destroyed fencing and shelter, damaged plumbing and electrical lines, and forced the rescue to close its OTTB barn. With 28 horses impacted, the organization was unable to welcome new rescues.

🧡 Our Bridge Grant helped Hidden Acres make critical repairs and restore safe pasture for its horses, bringing them one step closer to recovery.

Together, we’re building bridges to better days for horses in need.

The goal isn't to stay forever. It's to make our work no longer needed. 🧡

In places like Pakistan's brick kilns, working equines carry heavy loads under challenging conditions. Our vision is to build systems that continue protecting these animals long after our teams leave.

That means:
✔️ Training local veterinarians, paravets and farriers.
✔️ Supporting stronger animal welfare laws.
✔️ Partnering with government agencies and local organizations.
✔️ Building communities that champion compassionate care.

When local leaders, service providers and communities work together, better welfare becomes the standard, not the exception.

That's how we create lasting change for working equines in brick kiln communities and beyond. 🐴
