We would appreciate if all our followers would share and help where possible.
A little known fact about HHO- we have been working with youths in many disadvantaged areas for a number of years now. We run educational courses and days for children aged 11-17 in order to promote animal welfare, good practice with horses and generally educate in all animal related issues.
With our courses we have some work experience and hands on experience with all types of horses, which we are facilitating here at HHO. We're so happy to see such a positive groups of young people making the effort to learn, to accept a positive approach to animal welfare. We're hoping such courses and days will make some difference to the animals of the future. These youths are being equipped with the knowledge to make positive choices, the knowledge to care for their animals and are learning animals are not disposable - they take hard work and commitment.
However we have one small request- the groups we have coming to us, don't usually have the right clothing or equipment for a horse yard. So we'd like to be able to provide them with boots and hats for a start.
We were wondering if you would all search through your tack rooms, we're sure many of you have accumulated a large amount of equipment over the years, if you find you have some items that may help these children along we would really appreciate it and gladly take them.
We would ask that any items would be in good to very good condition- boots that have seen better days would not suit,
Hats will not be used for riding- just for teaching good practice in handling horses but they would have to meet the current safety standard and also show no signs of damage.
We'd love to have a pair of boots and a hat to fit all ages so please have a look and send us a pm if you can help our quest!
We do not normally ask for help- we do these courses and days on a voluntary basis and these courses are provided free to the children, as much as we would love to buy these items, we simply do not have the budget to do so right now so we're hoping we have some good Samaritans who would also like to help. ...
