2,500 bags of carrots, enough to satisfy hundreds of hungry horses, will be sold in aid of charity at the Devon and Cornwall Christmas Equine Fair, at West Point in Exeter, on 22 & 23 November.

Dodson & Horrell, the animal feed specialists, are donating all 2,500 bags of carrots, supplied by Nigel Bones of Hatherleigh, and these will be sold for £2.50 a bag over the two days, with all the proceeds going to the ILPH (International League for the Protection of Horses). In addition Dodson & Horrell will be giving a £3.00 voucher to every purchaser, which can be redeemed against purchase of their products.

"Dodson & Horrell are delighted to be sponsoring the 2003 Carrot Crunch and hope to raise over £6000 for the ILPH", says Bill Chudley, Sales & Marketing Director for Dodson & Horrell.,

Comments Jeff Herrington, ILPH Field Officer for S.W. England, "We are extremely grateful to Dodson & Horrell for their generosity in donating these many tons of carrots. It's thanks to the kindness of private individuals and businesses such as Dodson & Horrell, and Contour Exhibitions, that the ILPH is able to continue its equine welfare work worldwide."
