The day includes completion rosettes, a photographer and special Burghley prizes for the most money raised. It's great ride to do with friends, as a yard or club and it is open to riders 5 years and upwards so if anyone wants to join us with their own mule can contact Helen (details on contact page of journal) to find out how to apply. </div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">2014 is the Centennial year of the First World War. You only have to look in any parish church to see that the casualties of this war were immense and widespread - in nearly every village there is a list of those that fought and died in the conflict. In every town the toll was equally high and changed the shape of our industry and transport systems. There were changes to our society that can be followed back to the effects of this war. It is difficult to imagine and overestimate the effects this conflict. Not listed on the memorials were the animal casualties which were at least as high and widespread.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mules have a special place in war even today - they are highly valued for their resilience, and the same self determined calm and sometimes obstinate nature that means an almost endless ability to stick to whatever task they have taken on.</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">People trusted mules with their lives.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Harder to document is the effect of a mules natural ability to warm the hearts of whoever the mules trusted. They naturally form a bond with their handler, and in times of tragedy, conflict and dismay their winning natures still managed to shine through in the darkest of times.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please go over to </span><a href="http://www.warmule.org/">http://www.warmule.org</a><span style="font-size: small;"> and take a look at the stories and pictures of their sacrifice.</span></span></h4>

<br />
for letting us use their venue for the BMS AGM May 3rd 2014 and their very interesting tour. They are doing some really great work finding homes for cats, rats, dogs, rabbits, and horses, chinchillas & degus.<br />
<br />
Of course, my favourite bit was the horses rehoming part, and they seem very well organised, turning out some lovely rescued horses.<br />

Imagine if near where you lived there was a field loaded with horses starving in flooded paddocks amongst the bodies of their dead fellows.<br />
<br />
Instinctively you may think that it would be a straightforward matter to get those horses moved immediately to one of the equine welfare charities there are in this country. This as it stands is not necessarily so - there is no right of any organisation to seize an animal for its welfare.<br />

<br />
Then it gets complicated, i.e. slower and the suffering continues. Magistrates courts, untraceable or deliberately obstructive owners, vets naturally cautious about being sued, the lack of police expertise, resources, or inclination even all work against the welfare of the animal. The sad fact is that animals can be suffering and dieing whilst organisations like the RSPCA are "monitoring" helplessly.<br />
<br />
<br />
That is why <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Help-the-horses-of-Fosse-Park-Leicester/215018828693901" target="_blank">Hope For Horses are going down to the house of commons on April 16th</a><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Change in law for Equine charities to remove suffering animalsResponsible department: Department for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsDue to the increase of Equine abuse, there are many horses whos suffering is continued as many Equine charities do not have the legal power to remove such animals from the land/premises where they are neglected. The time it takes to get police involved, then make arrangements by staying within the law, many of these poor animals have already lost their lives through suffering, or worse been killed and dumped by such owners. We ask for a change in the law to give such charities more power to seize an animal should its suffering be apparent</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Success!<br />
<br />
Thanks to all those who have campaigned to end the suffering of horses dumped on unsuitable land<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again thanks to <a href="http://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/" target="_blank">The Donkey Sanctuary </a> for letting us use one of their eight<br />
farms, Town Barton in Devon as a base for our Annual General Meeting on the 11th May.<br />
<br />
This very special place is home to over 200 happy donkeys and mules of almost every size and colour<br />
and only open to the public a few times a year. <br />
<br />
With plenty of friendly mules to make a fuss of, and something of interest to see every where you looked,<br />
it was all in all a great day to make and renew quite a few<br />
human and long-eared friendships.<br />

Please come along with or without your mule. Non members welcome.<br />
We are hoping to have quite a variety of mules down to a mini mule and also an American Mammoth donkey! Also we are expecting some filming and pictures to be taken of our UK mules to go towards a worldwide documentary on mules.<br />
<br />
There will be a show format with rosettes to be won. However the aim is to have a good time and share mule knowledge.<br />
<br />
It is a friendly society and needs your fresh ideas and love of mules, to help us give you what you want from a society! <br />
<br />
Please support us, there is no other society like it in the UK!<br />
