Imagine you had to pull a cart around all day with a harness attached to your nose. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun, does it? Yet an incredible 50% of the world's population is still reliant on horses, donkeys and other animals for their livelihood.
The wonderful WSPA is calling on anyone who can sew to help with a project to help these valuable animals to do their daily work in greater comfort. Noseband protectors - basically thick and soft panels of cloth placed between the animal's nose and its harness - are easy to make and you can donate them to WSPA who'll pass them directly on to the owners of working horses and donkeys in the middle east.
If you'd like to help, there's a pattern and information on where to send your home-made nose protectors here.
