Hillendale Land Rover in Lancashire has graciously donated a Land Rover Defender 90 to the Horse and Pony Protection Agency, or HAPPA as it is more generally known.

Such a contribution is for the purpose of assisting the charitable organization in more easily responding to emergency calls and rescue operations for injured animals. Reportedly, HAPPA receives an approximate of 20 calls for assistance every week, and so, this Land Rover is sure to aid the team to attend to these requests more speedily and effectively.

Relatively, the Defender, with its superior Land Rover Engine Parts and other equally performing Land Rover Defender Parts, is the perfect vehicle for HAPPA’s off road and rural inspections. It is definitely built for rough and challenging conditions, especially at this time that the coming months are already ushering in the winter season.

As a sidenote, as HAPPA is actually nearing its platinum anniversary this year, this Defender 90 can also be doubly seen as an appreciation gift for the organization that has upheld 70 years of equine welfare.

Lee Collins, Hillendale Land Rover Manager Director, is quite pleased with all the possible contributions that the company’s Defender can offer the organization: “We are delighted to be able to give this Land Rover Defender to HAPPA to help them continue to provide their invaluable service. They needed a robust, high quality vehicle to assist them in getting to incidents across the country. The Defender is widely known to be extremely reliable and makes for easier off road driving which is a must for the staff at HAPPA as they do have to cover some challenging areas. I am sure our vehicle will help the team to save many animals over the coming years.”

Ken Cranage, HAPPA Chairman, has this to say:”As an organisation we have to attend several calls a day in rural locations all across the country. So we are delighted to have received this new vehicle and we certainly couldn’t have picked a vehicle better fit for its purpose. The Defender is ideal for towing horseboxes, attending to animals in rural areas and to use off-road which is often necessary for this job. This donation means we will be relieved of the cost of the vehicle and that extra money can now be spent directly on equine welfare. We are very thankful to Hillendale and we are pleased to be able to work with another local company with similar values to our own.”
