On Native American Day, we celebrate the heritage, strength, and traditions of Native communities across the U.S.—and honor the working equines who remain vital to their culture and livelihoods.

Brooke USA is proud to have partnered with the Native American Horse Education Foundation (NAHEF) to deliver farrier training and certification for Native Americans living on reservations where horses and other equines were essential to daily living. The first group of farriers were cowboys on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation’s Ash Creek Livestock Association Ranch in Arizona. Horses on the reservation received newly installed horseshoes and were placed on a regular “check and change” schedule, while their owners gained the potential to dramatically increase their income by working off the ranch as trained farriers.

“Based on the deeply entrenched horse culture across the USA, it became obvious to us that we needed to include Native American communities in our work priorities,” said Emily Dulin, CEO of Brooke USA.

Today, we reflect with gratitude on these partnerships and the impact they created, as we continue to honor equine welfare and cultural heritage together.

Donkey Care Clubs are empowering children with compassion and knowledge—building better lives for animals and people alike.
Women and children are the main caregivers for donkeys across the developing world. Brooke USA’s funded Donkey Care Clubs teach many necessary skills that help these caretakers and animals thrive. From learning proper care to building confidence, these programs are making lifechanging differences across rural Africa.

🌍 UPDATE: Compassion is still needed for disaster relief.

💔 In Pakistan, more than 2 million people are affected, with 1,400 villages underwater and more than 5,500 animals lost due to the floods. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, floods have resulted in nearly 400 deaths. Entire villages were swept away, homes destroyed, and vital infrastructure washed out, leaving communities isolated and rescue operations severely hampered.

💔 Over 1,400 people are dead and thousands are injured after the earthquake in Afghanistan (6.0 magnitude), which occurred in a mountainous and rural region where families that were already struggling to cope with a lack of basic necessities, including access to health services, are in need of disaster relief and recovery assistance.

Brooke USA has pledged $20,000 for urgent relief—and thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised nearly half our goal.

Horses, donkeys, and mules are lifelines for families in these regions.

Deep inside coal mines in Pakistan you will find donkeys carrying heavy loads through the tunnels. Walking over jagged stones and unsteady ground, the donkeys do their best to move the heavy loads out of the mines. The owners of the donkeys depend on them to support their families that sometimes live very far away.
Without intervention, many coal mine donkeys face shortened lives. Brooke USA is training owners to treat injuries, lighten loads, provide water and rest, and give their animals relief.

For many families, a donkey or mule is often the only means of transporting food from the market or water from a well. In disaster zones, they’re first responders—yet today, they face injury, hunger, and disease. 🧡
