UPDATE: JUNE 2022<\/strong> Recently, Horse Aid UK planned to arrange another trip to Ukraine to deliver more essential supplies to the equestrian community. Unfortunately, a variety of factors including the cost of fuel and availability of transport have made this impossible at this time. As a result, Redpost will be donating the remaining funds to the British Equestrians for Ukraine Fund<\/a>, in order to ensure all of the donations received can be put to the use for which they were intended. The British Equestrian for Ukraine Fund is spearheaded by British Equestrian (BEF), The British Horse Society (BHS), the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) and World Horse Welfare. Further updates will be provided once this is complete, however in the meantime if you have any questions, please contact us by emailing sales@redpostequestrian.co.uk, or call 01803 812040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In response to the Ukraine crisis, the Redpost team are working closely with Craig Harris (Horse Aid UK<\/strong>). Together, we are arranging the transport of essential equine supplies for delivery to Ukraine.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first load of supplies left Redpost in March, and with another trip planned for June, <\/strong>we’re redoubling our efforts to support those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our customers and surrounding local businesses have contacted us about buying feed and supplies to be donated. If you’d like to help, please read on to find out how to get involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first shipment has arrived!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday 15th March, the first Horse Aid UK lorry left Redpost bound for Ukraine. <\/strong>Thanks to the amazing generosity of the Redpost community, we were able to donate 11 pallets of feed and bedding<\/strong> to help the horses in Ukraine. There’s plenty more to come, so watch this space for more updates!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
