An childhood friend of hers recently told her about this book, it was in her local library and she read it over the past two days.
Constance had plopped her onto a pony at a young age and that was it. She hasn't ridden for over twenty years but her love of horses is still as great as her love of avian, canine and feline folk.. And she includes donkeys and mules in this love of equines.
The book is the story of how Dorothy Brooke in 1930 started rescuing the horses that were shipped to Egypt during WW1.
Only a very few of them were shipped back after the war, the rest were sold.
The equine hospital charity that she started in Cairo still exists and has been extended to, thank God, a number of other countries.
Be warned.. this book will make you cry but then the 'stories' that are occurring at this very moment as she taps this are equally dreadful.
We have already written at our disgust at the appalling behavior of the Australian Prime Minister and the disastrous fires that are currently burning throughout the country, made even worse by the knowledge that a great many of them were caused by arson.
The horrifying situations also caused by mankind currently happening in : Yemen. Syria. Iraq. Palestine and the Israeli invasion and current occupation of southern Lebanon which no one ever talks or writes about.
The Iranian destruction of the Ukrainian airliner this last week killing 176 people.. what the hell were their air Traffic Controllers doing in order to let this happen, the aircraft would not have left Iranian airspace and they would have still been in contact with the aircrew speaking in English, is this the reason the Iranian government do not want to release the Black Box which has all the verbal communications plus the aircraft's altitude and speed recorded on it?
The world is not a 'happy' place.
Therefore, it is up to every one of us to be aware of doing 'right' and being kind, whether it to be an animal of any breed or another human being.. every day.
40% of sales from the book 'THE LOST WAR HORSES OF CAIRO' by Grant Hayter-Menzies go to the International Brooke Animal welfare facilities dedicated to improving the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
