Horse Rescue & Volunteer Program
Are you looking for the unique African bush experience on a horse farm?
Do you want to make a difference in the lives of neglected and abused rescue horses? You´ve got experience in working / rehabilitating horses from the ground and from the saddle? Do you want to be part of their rehabilitation process and in return experience South Africas Flora and Fauna from their backs on long relaxing trails? Do you want to do farm work on horseback and join our presence program on our neighboring farms?
Then Khaya Hanci is the perfect spot for you!
Our vision is to be able to offer individual horses rehabilitation in which they can rediscover their trust in people and live a stress-free and species-appropriate life. Each horse decides for itself on the extent and speed of that process. While some of them develop into true reliable partners in the field, we only work with others from the ground. The focus is always on the horse and its needs.
In order to continue pursuing our vision, we need the support of motivated volunteers who want to combine the African bush and the passion for horses. If you share the passion for the well-being of horses and the African savannah, you will surely experience the time of your life. A calm and friendly manner is an advantage for everyone. If volunteers want to be integrated into horse rehabilitation, prior knowledge is required. Experienced riders with good horsemanship skills and patience a must.
We happily welcome any animal lovers that are willing to assist. You will enjoy all the benefits of a stay at Khaya Hanci Lodge and Horse Trails - the tranquil setting, the glorious mountain views, sweeping paddocks, relaxed atmosphere and (very importantly) - happy horses! On top of that, we offer many day tour excursions to volunteers to round out the experience.
For the rehabilitation training we work in the round pen and on the riding arena. For other interactions, we have a cleaning and washing area available, as well as the carefully designed tack room with individual equipment for each horse.
