Program Highlights
Care for neglected, abused, or abandoned (by their owners) horses and ponies—creating a safe place as well as giving them love and a chance of a new life.
Help provide medical attention and behavioral training for the long-term rehabilitation of horses as well as with horse rescues in places where severe abuse has been reported.
Take some horses, those up for adoption, on riding exercises along trails in beautiful natural surroundings.
Learn about the daily care of horses (feed, groom, walk, and socialize), which means experience isn’t necessary to join this volunteer project.
Help out with the other rescued animals at the sanctuary including donkeys, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, and sheep while having fun under the South Africa sun.
