There are more than 300 horse breeds worldwide, with American Quarter Horse, Arabian, and Thoroughbreds being the most popular ones. Before, they were mainly used in warfare, transportation, and agriculture. Nowadays, they’re used for recreational and competitive riding, police work, and even therapy. If well cared for, these beautiful, regal creatures can reach up to 30 years old, sometimes even more. Unfortunately, many don’t get to live long, full lives due to abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This is where the organization, The Horse Trust comes in. A charity in England, it started in 1886 as a “place of retreat and recuperation for London’s over-worked cab horses.” Now, it’s a home for rescued horses, retired military horses, and therapy horses for disabled children.
Caring for one horse is already costly as is, what more dozens of them. Hence on June 30, The Horse Trust will be having their annual fundraising event called Horses, Hounds, and Heroes. An event for the whole family, prepare for an afternoon full of equine performances, live music, delicious food, and fun games. There will also be a petting zoo, a dog show, tractor rides, and even ferret racing! Proceeds from the event will go to ensuring that the horses in The Horse Trust will continue to get the care they deserve.
