International working animal charity, Brooke, has launched a limited-edition pin badge to remember the millions of animals who served in World War I.The badge has been created as part of Brookes Every Horse Remembered campaign whichtakes place every November and remembers the heroic bravery of working horses, donkeys and mules who went to war. All funds raised from sales of the badge will go towards supporting the millions of horses, donkeys and mules still working worldwide today.The design of the badge combines a gold horseshoe, which represents and honours the animals who carried supplies, pulled heavy loads and bore soldiers, with a calendula, the multi-petaled orange flower which denotes healing. The badge is crafted from gilded iron and filled enamel. Forgotten contributionMillions of horses, donkeys and mules served alongside people in wartime with the majority never returning home, yet their vital contribution is too often forgotten, said Klare Kennett, head of communications at Brooke.Their sacrifice is woven into our shared history, a reminder of both the deep resilience of humananimal partnership and the cost of conflict. Today, animals supporting people and communities around the world remain equally unseen. This new badge gives people a powerful way to honour them this remembrance season and directly help us support working animals that families continue to rely on. Brooke ambassador Angela Rippon will wear one of the badges when she lays a wreath at the Animals in War Memorial ceremony in Hyde Park on Friday 6 November.The limited-edition pin badge costs 3.50 and can be purchased here.Image Brooke.Further readingBrooke announce Scottish singer as music ambassador for the charityFamily poem about horse requisitioned for war features in Brooke remembrance campaignAngela Rippon to represent Brooke at remembrance service for animals lost in warOwners belief in horse emotion linked to animal wellbeing, Brooke study showsBrooke unveils online learning platform for vets in developing countriesThe post Charity launches pin badge to honour wartime animals ahead of Remembrance Day appeared first on Your Horse.
