In 1930 wealthy Scottish socialite Dorothy Brooke followed her new
husband to Cairo, where she discovered thousands of suffering
former British war horses leading lives of toil and misery. Brought
to the Middle East by British forces during the Great War, these
ex-cavalry horses had been left behind at the war's end, abandoned
as used equipment too costly to send home. Grant Hayter-Menzies
chronicles not only the lives and eventual rescue of these noble
creatures, who after years of deprivation and suffering found
respite in the Old War Horse Memorial Hospital established by
Dorothy, but also the story of the challenges of founding and
maintaining an animal-rescue institution on this scale. The legacy
of the Old War Horse Memorial Hospital and its founder endures
today in the dozens of international Brooke animal-welfare
facilities dedicated to improving the lives of working horses,
donkeys and mules across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
