It seems as if our Brooke/KENDAT vehicle cannot pause for a moment without someone approaching the vehicle saying “can you come and visit my community?”, “can you come and help me to worm my donkey?” It’s encouraging to see that the Brooke/KENDAT message is so clear. As I write this I am driving down one of the worst roads I have ever been on. It is so bumpy that almost every key I touch is the wrong one – but I am encouraged to keep trying by what I have just seen.

For some of us the summer is a much awaited part of the year, as temperatures rise and memories of a cold winter fade. For many working equines however it’s no holiday. In two of the Brooke Pakistan’s working districts, Sukkur and Jacobabad, midday temperatures typically hover between 46-48 degrees centigrade between May and August and can reach up to 52 degrees. No wonder it’s considered to be the one of the hottest places on earth.

I did it!
After 6 months of training, I completed the Brighton Marathon in 3hr 42 minutes and 3 seconds - including wasting time for a bathroom break at mile 10!
The whole weekend was wonderful - my mum and I went down to Brighton on Friday, ate far too much at a lovely Japanese restaurant (brown rice! Great for carb loading), went on the rides on the pier, explored the Lanes, found some delicious little vegan cafes, and then spent the night before watching The Voice and Britain’s Got Talent. Perfect pre-race prep!

Good hoof balance affects all biomechanics in working horses, donkeys and mules but in many developing countries lame animals often have no option other than to carry on working. I am in Aswan training an international group of vets in hoof care. Dr Ala, Dr Hassib and Ahmed are from Egypt, Dr Vikash and Vaibhav from India, Dr Murad from Jordan, Dr Javaid from Pakistan and Dr Abdi is from Kenya, different people from different countries but all here to share and learn from each other.
