Headline: Arsenal's old football socks given new life helping rescued horses and donkeys
Caption: Arsenal's old football socks have found an unlikely new purpose helping rescued horses and donkeys. The Premier League champions donated unwanted kit to horse welfare charity Redwings. The specialist socks are now being used at Redwings' Horse Hospital in Norfolk. Staff use them to protect animals' legs from flies and help keep bandages in place. The socks can also prevent headcollar rubs and hold back hair during hoof trims. The donation was arranged by Arsenal's sustainability team as part of efforts to reduce waste. Redwings says the unusual gift has been a huge hit with both staff and animals.
