Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from purpose include increased numbers of rehabilitated welfare equines, increased relief of pain and suffering to equines and reduced levels of stress to equines. Benefits will also include improved education and relief of stress and anxiety for equine owners and carers in crisis. The outworking of this improved
treatment of equines is a general moral uplifting amongst the general public who see the animals better and more humanely treated. The charity’s beneficiaries are the public at large. These benefits will be demonstrated through feedback from equine owners and carers, through funders and through evaluation from national equine organisations. The purpose of our charity made lead to harm through the death of an animal and any distress caused to an equine owner or carer due to such a loss or through the temporary stress caused to an animal during a rescue or veterinary treatment. This harm is outweighed by the rarity of such a loss and by the benefits of the rescue and rehabilitation we offer to any equine suffering or in pain. The charity’s beneficiaries are provided to equines in need and also to any owner or carer of an equine in need. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is through welfare and equine training any trustee is given which are transferable skills. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefits of our purpose are provided to our beneficiaries.
