## What Horse Rescue Means Overseas
For UK searchers, horse rescue often suggests a sanctuary. In many countries WARN works in, the bigger welfare need is working horses who cannot simply stop working. Rescue means treating pain, preventing injury and improving care where the horse lives.

## Why Mobile Clinics Beat One-Off Rescues
A single sanctuary place can help one animal. A mobile clinic can treat many horses, teach owners and prevent repeat wounds. It also helps families keep income without forcing an impossible choice between livelihood and welfare.

## When Sanctuary Is Still Needed
Some horses are too injured, old or abused to keep working. These cases need safe placement. But for most working horses, the scalable answer is field treatment and prevention.

## Overseas Horse Rescue Versus UK Models
UK horse rescue typically means sanctuary rehoming from neglect cases. Overseas working horse welfare focuses on in situ mobile clinics — treating cart horses where owners depend on their labour rather than removing them to paddocks.

## When Sanctuaries Are Needed Abroad
Critically injured or abandoned horses may need sanctuary placement, but this is the exception. Mobile clinics and owner education address the majority of suffering at scale — the model WARN funds in Pakistan.

## Why UK Donors Choose WARN — Transparent Partner Grants
WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. WARN states upfront that gifts fund WARN's 17-country partner network across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America programmes through vetted local partners — not WARN-run sanctuaries. Every gift is receipted; give one-off at /donate or monthly at /donate/monthly.

## What WARN funds
- Mobile clinic treatment for working horses.
- Farriery, dental care and wound treatment.
- Nutrition guidance and emergency feed support where appropriate.
- Safe placement support for horses who cannot continue working.
- Mobile equine welfare grants distinguishing field care from sanctuary models.

## FAQ
### Can I donate to horse rescue abroad from the UK?
Yes. WARN can receive UK donor support for partner-led working horse welfare abroad, but cannot claim Gift Aid as a registered CIC (not a charity).

### Why not rehome horses to the UK?
International rehoming is rarely scalable or practical. Field care helps more horses and supports the communities that depend on them.

### What does my donation help fund?
It can help fund mobile clinics, farriery, medicines, wound treatment, nutrition support, harness checks and owner education.

### How is overseas horse rescue different from the UK?
Working horses abroad usually cannot leave their jobs. Mobile veterinary care in situ is the primary welfare intervention — not paddock rehoming.

### Can UK donors fund overseas horse rescue?
Yes — /appeals/working-horses and /rescue/donate-to-help-horses-abroad for the UK donor path.

### Should I import a rescued horse from abroad?
Import is expensive and cannot address population-scale working horse suffering. Funding mobile clinics protects hundreds.

### Which country does WARN fund for horses?
Pakistan is the in-network focus for working horse welfare within the 17-country partner network.

### Is WARN a registered charity?
World Animal Rescue Network (WARN) is World Animal Rescue Network CIC (Company number 17298990), a registered UK Community Interest Company — not a registered charity. See /about/registration-status for full legal identity.
