Equestrian brand LeMieux launches new partnership with equine welfare charity World Horse Welfare
Equine welfare charity World Horse Welfare is delighted to announce that well-known and highly regarded equestrian brand LeMieux is raising funds for the charity’s vital work as their official corporate partnership.
The new partnership strenghens the existing relationship between LeMieux and World Horse Welfare, which has already included in-kind products and over £20,000 raised in the past year. A button at checkout on the equine clothing brand’s online shop allows customers to make a donation to World Horse Welfare, which has provided these valuable funds to the charity. These funds will help enable it to continue to rehabilitate the horses and ponies that come into its care – like Lemon a Shetland pony that founders Robert and Lisa LeMieux rehomed from the charity in February this year.

I am incredibly excited to share that LeMieux, a brand that I have loved for years, will now be an official charity partner with World Horse Welfare.
