This week, we had the absolute joy of hosting Craighall Primary’s Grade R learners for a series of mornings at the stables!

Each group got to experience the magic of the yard—learning about our horses, how the stables work, and what it takes to care for these incredible animals. We ended off with a special treat: pony rides! For many, it was their first time ever on a pony 🐎💫

What stood out most? The bravery of so many little ones who were nervous at first but still gave it a try. Watching the smiles, the wonder, and the pride on their faces was something truly special.

Thank you to the teachers, parents, and of course our patient ponies and team for making it such a memorable experience.

Our Story

What started out as a small collection of ponies, has grown into a family of equine and human (and feline) members. Ranger Stables is a community-based Equestrian Centre situated at REEA, the Rand Epileptic Employment Agency in Craighall Park. The Rangers work with several community and municipal organisations, such as City Parks, JMPD, Joburg Water, Rand Water, HIV/Aids NGOs, schools and local Residents’ Associations. Established several years ago, with just two horses, today Rangers proudly houses 23 horses and ponies, most of whom are rescues from dire circumstances that we have managed to rehabilitate and teach how to trust again. Some have taken years to recover, and with rescuing the road is often sad and painful for both horse and human, but each time we are able to give them a happy home, unconditional love and show them there is goodness in the world.

They serve the community through daily patrols along the Braamfontein Spruit, monitoring ecological, social and security conditions. The Rangers’ equestrian activities include instruction, outrides, competitions, pony parties, pony rides, disabled riding and providing assistance at events as such market days and school fairs. Although it is a small community of riders, we are a family that is dedicated to helping touch peoples lives and show them just how wonderful and beneficial interacting with these animals can be, while bettering the lives of each incredible animal that crosses our path.
