Charlotte Dujardin no longer a Brooke Ambassador

We were deeply disturbed to learn of the recent video of Charlotte Dujardin and understand the action taken by the equestrian governing body.  

Our whole ethos is around kindness and compassion to horses and to see the opposite of this from someone with such a high profile is beyond disappointing.  

Charlotte is no longer an ambassador for Brooke. There can never be any justification for the mistreatment of animals and clearly any such behaviour is incompatible with representing Brooke.

Our approach to animal handling

Brooke has long been committed to undertaking and promoting welfare-friendly animal handling practices.

Compassionate handling is integral to our culture at Brooke and we invest time and money into training all Brooke staff in handling, committing to continual improvement.
