Lövsta Future Challenge also aims to contribute to improve the sometimes-harsh conditions for working horses and other equine animals. For the 2022 season, Antonia Ax:son Johnson has decided to support the Brooke USA Foundation and their work to stop the donkey skin trade.
Hundreds of thousands of donkeys, mostly from Africa, are slaughtered for their skins and exported annually, causing donkey numbers a to decimate. Their skins are boiled toproduce ‘ejiao’, a gelatin used in traditional Chinese medicine. The United States is the third largest importer of ejiao, and Brooke USA is leading the charge to ensure that Amazon pulls ejiao from its global online platform.
“We are proud to have connected our passion for our equine animals with the support of The Brooke USA and their work to stop the donkey skin trade. For each entry in Lövsta Future Challenge, jumping and dressage, Lövsta is donating $100 to the cause. We also hope to raise awareness about this horrible industry,”
