Well, we said watch this space, and now we can share with you the wonderful news that the second beneficiary of this year’s Murphy’s Army Purple Poppy Campaign will be The Horse Trust ????????
We already know what incredible work they do taking care of former serving horses in their retirement, from all areas of public duty, and of course the many rescue horses and ponies they look after so kindly too ???????? It really is an honour to be able to help them again this year. We hope you’ll be as pleased as we are with the choice ???????? #theyalsoserved

Some lovely news to share with you all, and that is the first of the beneficiaries of the Murphy’s Army Purple Poppy Campaign 2023 – the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals – NFRSA
