Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall has become President of the Brooke, the
UK equine charity which works around the world.
The patronage was announced on the
day Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited
the work of the British charity in north-west Pakistan, where the charity has been
helping tens of thousands of animals and their owners in the region devastated by
the earthquake in October 2005.

The Brooke helps millions of working animals and supports their sustainable use 
in some of the poorest parts of the world.

Their Royal Highnesses heard how Brooke vets were some of the first on the scene
providing first aid to both human and animal victims of the devastating quake, and
shown how the charity has embarked on a venture to give long-lasting animal caring
skills to thousands of women in the region.
