CHCU Dennis and CHCU Danny are looking for a home. These boys are so sweet with people and are best pals so we'd like to home them together if possible. They get along well with horses and are currently in a herd of minis so they'll integrate well with others. Contact Danny on 0836283284 for more information or to come and meet the boys.

THANK YOU!
Linda, Travis and Shorty

Thank you for donating
TWO fly masks for our beloved orphanage horse Gundwane and his foster mom Jessie- the FAMOUS DUO of our unit!

Your generosity will help keep our dynamic duo comfortable and protected from those pesky flies!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and support, you're making a real difference in the lives of our equine friends!

And the cutest part? Little Baby Veronica presented the fly masks on behalf of our generous donors!

Teaching our little ones to spread love and kindness while they're young is the best gift we can give them. Kudos to Baby Veronica's parents for instilling these values in her!

A huge thank you to South African Jockey Academy for kindly hosting us this morning. Our admin, stable assistant, stable manager / inspector, AHT and CCS vet went through to the academy bright and early this morning. We watched the horses being ridden and then brushed by the students, had a tour around the stables, dorms and school and finished with their chef offering us breakfast and coffee.

It was a lovely experience (and a few in the group enthusiastically tried the simulator!) and educational for everyone in the group.

FROM ORPHAN TO SUPERSTAR!

We're beyond proud of our miracle horse, LITTLE MOUSE.

Rescued as a tiny orphan, hand-raised by our dedicated team, and once an infamous escape artist in our paddocks, LITTLE MOUSE has grown into a stunning and talented individual!

And now, we're thrilled to see this shining star competing in the prestigious SANESA shows, making us all proud!

Huge congratulations to LITTLE MOUSE, amazing adopter Debbie and rider Holly on their incredible journey together!

We're honored to have played a part in LITTLE MOUSE'S story and can't wait to see what the future holds for this dynamic duo!
