GAIN Horse Feeds have teamed up with the Irish Horse Welfare Trust to launch the “Help A Horse This Christmas”.

This annual feed campaign will be launched on Monday, December 7th via Gain’s Facebook page and by simply “liking’’ the page from December 7th to December 18th, the top feed company will donate a scoop of horse feed to the IHWT for every “like” posted. Please support this great campaign by logging onto www.facebook.com/GAINHorseFeeds.

Based in Woodenbridge, Co Wicklow, the IHWT has over 80 horses and ponies in its care. Established in 1999 to help the plight of horses in Ireland, they are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of abused and neglected horses and ponies.

Gain Horse Feeds is the Official Feed Partner to the IHWT and is committed to supporting the charity in their effort to rescue and rehabilitate neglected equines.

The IHWT work also includes a racehorse re-training for re-homing programme; as well as promoting equine welfare awareness and running educational programmes. One of the most recent and biggest successes has been the Dunsink Horse Project in Dublin, developed and managed by IHWT and Fingal County Council working closely with the local community.
