A little Friday cuteness to brighten your feed! 🧡🐴

There's nothing quite like the curiosity and playful spirit of a foal discovering the world around them. From their first wobbly steps to exploring everything in sight, these early moments are an important part of growing up.

At Brooke USA, we believe every horse deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive and live a healthy life with the care and attention they need.

Wishing everyone a happy Foal Friday!

We’re still not over the incredible evening at Tryon International Equestrian Center! ✨

Pictured are highlights from Brooke USA’s Divertimentos & Dressage in Tryon, where an unforgettable evening of music, horsemanship and community brought supporters together for a meaningful cause.

Building on a record-setting year, Brooke USA’s Divertimentos & Dressage welcomed more than 400 guests in 2026, surpassed its fundraising goal and marked the most successful edition in the event’s history! 🎉

As we look ahead to continuing this special tradition in Wellington, Brooke USA Ambassador and international Grand Prix rider JJ Tate shared:

“There is something magical about performing to a live orchestra. You feel the music, you feel your horse responding, and for those few moments, everything comes together.” 🎼🐎

We can't wait to bring that magic to Wellington for “An American Overture.” Mark your calendar for February 18, 2027, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in West Palm Beach.

🎟️ Join us for another extraordinary evening! Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at BrookeUSA.org/events.

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served, as well as the animals who stood alongside them. 🇺🇸

Meet Sergeant Reckless, a small mare who became one of the most remarkable four-legged veterans in U.S. military history. During the Korean War, she served with the U.S. Marine Corps, carrying am******on to the front lines and bringing wounded Marines to safety.

During the Battle of Outpost Vegas in 1953, Reckless made 51 trips in a single day, carrying more than 9,000 pounds of am******on through enemy fire. Wounded twice, she continued her work and earned two Purple Hearts for her service. In 1959, she was promoted to Staff Sergeant. 💜

Her story is a reminder that animals have long played an extraordinary role as partners in military history, serving with courage and devotion alongside the people who depend on them.

We remember Sergeant Reckless and all the animals whose service and sacrifice deserve recognition. 🐎

🐴 Creating Opportunities for Youth—and Better Lives for Horses in Kenya.

With limited formal employment opportunities, young entrepreneurs in Kenya are finding creative ways to earn a living—including offering horse rides to families and children at parks, beaches, and community events.

At Nairobi’s Uhuru Park, Peter is one of eight horse owners who bring their horses to the park on weekends. But while this growing business offers new opportunities, owners face challenges accessing affordable veterinary care, proper riding equipment, and essential services to keep their horses healthy.

That’s where Brooke USA and field partner, Brooke East Africa, is stepping in.

By engaging with horse owners, veterinarians, county authorities, and community leaders, Brooke East Africa is advocating for better animal welfare, trained horse handlers, access to veterinary care, and designated riding areas that help keep horses and the public safe.

Because supporting young people to build sustainable livelihoods should go hand in hand with ensuring the horses they depend on receive the care they deserve.
When people and horses thrive together, everyone benefits. 💚

When working equines are healthy, families are stronger. 🧡

Horses, donkeys, and mules help millions of families around the world earn a living and put food on the table. But too often, these hardworking animals don’t get the nutrition they need to stay healthy and strong.

This isn’t always because their owners don’t care. Many simply don’t have access to information about equine nutritional needs or to affordable, balanced feed.

At Brooke USA, we believe better nutrition is an essential part of better welfare.
