Overseas equine welfare charity, the Brooke, has been adopted by the tour operators
Discover Egypt.
The company, which operates cruises on the Nile, will be providing
the Brooke with cash/prize sponsorship, donations per Nile cruise client and sponsorship
of practical items including overhead sunshades in the horse and carriage waiting
areas in resorts, and will be highlighting the charity’s work in its holiday brochures.

The Brooke currently helps over 100,000 working equine animals in Egypt alone, by
providing free veterinary care, and training and education for millions of animal
owners via a network of mobile veterinary teams and community participation.

In particular, the charity focuses its help at the carriage horse owners of Luxor,
Aswan and Edfu, which are frequently used by Discover Egypt’s clients when visiting
Egypt, and can fall victim to overwork, dehydration and lameness.

John Trampleasure, Director of Fundraising at the Brooke, said of the new tourism
partnership: “Without tourism, these horse drawn carriages wouldn’t exist and we
are delighted to have such a worthwhile partner in Discover Egypt”.
