A MAIL order company has helped ensure that mistreated horses have a stable over their heads.

Jumpers Horse Line, of Wootton Bassett, donated £1,199 to the International League for the Protection of Horses.

The promotion ran on the Upland brand of rugs, with £1 for every rug sold going to the ILPH.

Director of Jumpers Horse Line Bruno Goyens de Heusch said: "We started this in September, when we decided to raise money to help the ILPH continue with its charitable work."

Linda Hams, director of fundraising and communications at the ILPH, said: "We are extremely grateful to Jumpers Horse Line for the generous donation.

"It is thanks to the efforts of businesses and the public alike that we can continue to help improve horse welfare worldwide."
